　　Susie Smith came home from school one day, and had no sooner entered the sitting room than she burst 1 into tears. 一天，苏西.史密斯从学校回到家，一进客厅就泪流满面地哭了起来。

　　"What is the matter, my dear child?" said her mother, drawing her daughter to her side and smiling. “因为什么事啊，我亲爱的宝贝？”妈妈把女儿拉到身边，微笑着说。
　　"O mother, matter enough," sobbed 2 Susie. All our class must bring in compositions to-morrow morning, and I never, never can write one. “哦，妈妈，相当重要的事，”苏西抽泣着，“我们班上的所有学生明天都必须带去一篇作文，而我一直写不出来。
　　We must write twelve lines at least, and I have written only a few words after trying nearly all the afternoon. 我们要写至少12行，我整个下午只写了几个词。
　　See what work I have made of it! 您看看我写出来的。
　　Mrs. Smith took the rumpled 3, tear-stained paper which Susie held in her hand, and glanced at what she had written. 史密斯夫人接过苏西手里拿着的那张皱巴巴、沾满泪水的纸张，飞快地看了一眼她已经写下的东西。
　　In a careful hand she had tried to write upon three themes: "Time," "Temperance," and "Industry." 她很认真的试图展开写三个主题：“时间”，“自制”和“勤奋”。
　　Time is short. We should all improve our time. Temperance is a very useful thing. 时间很短暂。我们应该改善对时间的利用。自制是非常有用的事。
　　We should all be industrious 4 if we wish to do anything in the world. These sentences were all she had written. 如果我们想在世界上做成任何事都要勤奋。这些是所有她写下来的句子。
　　"Now," said Susie, I can't think of another word to say upon any of these subjects, “现在，”苏西说，“我想不出任何与这些主题相关的其他词语了，
　　and I know I shall have to go to school without a composition, 我想明天上学我肯定交不了作文了，
　　for I won't be so mean as to copy one from a book, or to ask you or papa to write one for me. 因为我也不会恶劣到从书上抄一篇，或是让您或爸爸给我写一篇。
　　"That is right, my dear," said her mother. “那就对了，我的宝贝，”妈妈说，
　　You will be far happier with a poor composition, if it is all your own, than with a fine one written by somebody else. 只要是你自己写出的作文，就算稍微差些，你也会感觉比别人给你写一篇快乐得多。
　　But cheer up. You have not begun right—you have been trying to write upon subjects that you know nothing about. 振作起来。你的开头没有写好——你一直在想写些你不了解的主题。
