thursday
i was heading up to rowley's today to play our big wheel game again, but mom said i had to finish my christmas thank-yours before i went out anywhere.
我有准备去罗利家玩"大轮子"了。但老妈下令,没把所有感谢卡写完,我哪也别想去。
i thought i could just crank out my thank-you cards in a half hour, but when it came to actually writing them, my mind went blank.
我本来以为不用半小时就能完工,但到拿起笔的时候,却发现我的大脑一片空白。
笔记:
crank out: 快速大量地制造
he cranked out three novels last year.
去年他粗制滥造,写了三本小说。
let me tell you, it's not easy writing thank-you notes for stuff you didn't want in the first place.
我跟你说,为你自己不想要的东西写感谢卡,一点都不容易。
i started with the nonclothes items, because i thought they'd be easiest. but after two or three cards, i realized i was practically writing the same thing every time.
我先从衣服以外的东西入手,因为我觉得感谢别人送你的衣服最容易,但写了两三行之后,我意识到实际上我每张卡写的话都差不多。
so i wrote up a general form on the computer with blanks for the things that needed to change. writing the cards from there was a breeze.
所以我在电脑上写了一个通用的表格,上面可以修改。在那里写卡片是一件轻而易举的事。
笔记:
be a breeze: 容易,轻松
don't think that learning dutch will be a breeze.
不要以为学荷兰语是件轻松的事。
