If Shapes Could Talk

《如果形状会说话》

My mom is a triangle.  

My dad is a square.  

I am a rhombus, and we all live over there.  

Our house is a big dome, and it holds the things we own.  

We have knick-knacks and doodads and a garden that we've grown.  

My uncle is a rectangle.  

And my aunt is an oval.  

Grandma and Grandpa are circles, and everyone is so jovial.  

我的妈妈是一个三角形。  

我的爸爸是一个正方形。  

我是一个菱形，我们全家住在那边。  

我们的房子是一个大圆顶，里面装满了我们拥有的东西。  

我们有一些小装饰品和稀奇古怪的小物件，还有我们种下的花园。  

我的叔叔是一个长方形，  

我的婶婶是一个椭圆形。  

奶奶和爷爷是圆形的，每个人都非常开心快乐。

I love my shapely family.  

Our days were always so fine.  

But when I began to go to school, I saw families different than mine.  

Maxine, the polka-dotted hexagon, had a mom and dad striped in square.  

They had a huge house with a heart-shaped pool.  

I wondered, "Well, how is that fair?"  

Why don't I have a bigger house or look unique with dots?  

Thoughts kept running through my head of our differences, and there are lots.  

I wanted the things that Maxine had, but was that wrong of me to say?  

I asked my dad, "Can we have a pool?"  

He said, "Not now, dear. Go along and play."  

我爱我形状各异的家人，  

我们的每一天都过得如此美好。  

直到我开始上学，才发现其他家庭和我家不太一样。  

马克西娜是一个长满圆点的六边形，  

她的爸爸妈妈是带有条纹的正方形。  

他们住在一座有心形泳池的巨大的房子里。  

我心想：“这怎么公平呢？”  

为什么我没有更大的房子，或者像她那样有独特的圆点？  

这些想法不停在我脑海中盘旋，我们之间有太多不同。  

我想要马克西娜拥有的东西，但这样想是否不对呢？  

我问爸爸：“我们可以有个泳池吗？”  

他说：“现在不行，亲爱的，去玩吧。”

One day, Maxine invited me over.  

We played with all of her things.  

She had a cat, a dog, a bird, and a house big enough for kings.  

"Maxine," I said, "I love your stuff! You must never be bored here."  

Maxine smiled sadly and replied, "I miss the ones that I hold dear."  

Maxine explained that she was adopted.  

She lost her mom and dad.  

Her smile started to fade away, and she became a little sad.  

I hugged Maxine and told her, "I'm sorry. I really didn't know."  

She looked at me and said, "It's okay, but I think it's time for you to go."  

有一天，马克西娜邀请我去她家。  

我们玩了她所有的玩具。  

她有一只猫，一只狗，一只鸟，还有一座足够国王住的大房子。  

“马克西娜，”我说，“我好喜欢你的东西！你在这里一定从不觉得无聊吧。”  

马克西娜笑了笑，却有些难过地回答：“我很想念我心里最重要的人。”  

马克西娜告诉我，她是被收养的。  

她失去了她的爸爸妈妈。  

她的笑容渐渐消失，变得有些伤感。  

我抱住马克西娜，对她说：“对不起，我真的不知道。”  

她看着我说：“没关系，不过我想你该回去了。”

I grabbed my things and ran back home.  

When I got there, I held my parents tight.  

My mother asked, "Baby, what's wrong?"  

I glanced up and said, "I don't think I was right."  

I explained the things Maxine went through and how I messed up our playdate.  

I thought I wanted all the things she had, but I realized that my life was great.  

I have two parents that love me so, and a beautiful garden to play.  

A house filled with love and laughter and I can see my family every day.  

When I saw Maxine again, I gave her a hug.  

I apologized for being jealous and coy.  

She taught me a lesson that I'll never forget,  

That comparison is the enemy of joy.  

我拿起我的东西跑回家。  

回到家后，我紧紧抱住了我的父母。  

妈妈问：“宝贝，怎么了？”  

我抬起头说：“我觉得我错了。”  

我把马克西娜的经历告诉了妈妈，并解释了我如何弄砸了我们的玩耍时间。  

我以为我想要她拥有的一切，但我意识到，我的生活已经很美好。  

我有两个深爱我的父母，还有一个美丽的花园可以玩耍。  

我的房子充满了爱和欢笑，我每天都能见到我的家人。  

当我再次见到马克西娜时，我给了她一个拥抱。  

我为曾经的嫉妒和害羞向她道歉。  

她教会了我一辈子都不会忘记的道理：比较是快乐的敌人。
