坐在最后一排的男孩

--Louie

This is another summer afternoon. The sun shines brightly while the wind blows the curtain up from the window.

Have you ever noticed a boy sit in the last row of the classroom? He's so quiet and shy that his classmates seldom talk to him. Neither does he speak a word to his fellows.

After school he doesn't go to the canteen as other boys do, but lies prone on the desk falling asleep.

In his dream, he is chewing a delicious roast duck with his little brother. His mother praised him for his being the first of the class in the speech contest. His teacher arranged him a perfect seat in the front of the classroom. His friends come to congratulate him singing and dancing.

There is always a seat in the last row, but no one will sit on it forever.

The Boy Sit in the Last Row

又是一个夏日的黄昏，阳光照进窗户来，风儿吹着窗帘翩翩起舞。

你有注意到那个坐在最后一排的男孩吗？通常他就是安静的坐在那里，一句话不说，也不参加大家的谈论。

放学了，大家都去餐厅了，而他，却没有。他趴在了桌上，睡着了。

在梦里，他和弟弟在大口吃着美味的烤鸭。妈妈表扬了他，因为他在演讲比赛中考了第一名。老师表扬了他，把他安排在一个教室前面的完美座位上。同学们都围了上来和他有说有笑。

世界上有最后一排的座位，但是没有永远坐在最后一排的人。

那天黑板上写着一句话：

毕业了。

Come with me for a little ride see

和我一起坐一次火车吧

the shadows passing by

看那窗外闪过的影子

Look at sun and see the clouds

远眺艳阳、仰望那苍穹的云

turn to faces in the sky

看它们变成熟悉的脸

We've been awake all night

我们彻夜未眠

shattered dreams all around

四周飘荡着梦的碎片

Close you sad sad eyes

合上你忧伤的双眼

We will be safe and sound

因为我们会 安然无恙
