暑假里妈妈给我报了社区里的少儿健美操队——经过一个月的训练后在八月中要参加松江各个社区的健美操比赛。
During the summer vacation, my mother reported to me the children's Aerobics Team in the community - after a month's training, I would take part in the aerobics competitions in all communities in Songjiang in mid August.
我不想去!因为我不喜欢参加比赛;另外我每个星期有两天半时间要训练芭蕾舞，八月初要考四级，本来就已经很累了，如果和芭蕾舞动作搞混了，考试考不出怎么办?!我不想去!
I don't want to go! Because I don't like to take part in the competition; in addition, I have two and a half days to train ballet every week, and I have to take the level 4 test at the beginning of August. I'm already very tired. If I get mixed up with ballet movements, what can I do if I can't pass the test?! I don't want to go!
7月18日妈妈告诉我下午一点半到居委会报道。我还是坚持不想去，可妈妈说已经答应人家了。我真想说：是我去又不是你去，干吗要答应!妈妈说：“你先去看看，跳一次，如果不开心以后就不去了。”既然这样我就答应下午去了。
On July 18, my mother told me to report to the neighborhood committee at 1:30 p.m. I still insist that I don't want to go, but my mother says she has promised. I really want to say: it's not you that I'm going, why should I promise? My mother said: "you go to have a look first, and jump once. If you're not happy, you won't go." In that case I promised to go in the afternoon.
晚上妈妈下班回来，问我感觉怎样，我给她摆了几个动作，妈妈说还满象样的。可我后面的动作记不住呀!我又着急了。
In the evening, my mother came back from work and asked me how I felt. I made some movements for her. My mother said it was quite decent. But I can't remember the movements behind me! I'm worried again.
今天是周二，下午又要去跳健美操了。早上妈妈上班走了不久，我就打电话给妈妈：“妈妈我今天不舒服，不想去跳了。。。”妈妈马上说：“你已经去了，退出就会缺人的，会影响整个队伍!”“你不是答应我去一次，如果不喜欢就不去的么?!”妈妈没声音，大概想起了自己说过的话。过了一会儿，妈妈说：“好吧，你自己去对蔡阿姨说，说你不去了。”
Today is Tuesday. I'm going to do aerobics again this afternoon. In the morning, shortly after my mother left for work, I called my mother and said, "Mom, I'm not feeling well today. I don't want to go dancing..." Mom immediately said, "you've gone, you'll be short of people if you quit, and it will affect the whole team!" "didn't you promise me to go once, and if you don't like it, you won't go?!" Mom didn't make a sound, probably thinking of what she said. After a while, my mother said, "OK, go to tell Aunt Cai that you won't go."
“你去说!!”我气急败坏得挂了电话。现在是上午十点，还有三个小时就到下午一点半了，我憎恶的看着钟表，心情坏急了。我不想再去是因为老师教的太快了，后面的动作我记不住。
"You say it!" I hung up in a fit of rage. It's ten o'clock in the morning. It's half past one in three hours. I hate to watch the clock. I'm in a bad mood. I don't want to go because the teacher taught me too fast. I can't remember the movements behind.
叮呤呤......电话吓了我一跳：“喂，我是蔡阿姨呀，听出来了么?”“恩——”“下午一点半还过来跳舞知道么?”我的心好象被扎了一下，可嘴里却说：“知道了——。”挂了电话，我就打电话给妈妈：“蔡阿姨来电话了，叫物我下午去!”“你答应了么?”“答应啦————!”“你不想去就别答应呀?!”“我————”啪!我挂了电话，不知道是生妈妈的气还是生自己的气。
"Hello, I'm aunt CAI. Can you tell?" the phone startled me. "Well, I'll come and dance at 1:30 p.m.?" my heart seemed to be pricked, but my mouth said, "I know." When I hung up, I called my mother: "aunt Cai called and asked me to go in the afternoon!" "did you promise?" "yes --!" don't promise if you don't want to go? "" I -- "pa!" I hung up, I didn't know if I was angry with my mother or with myself.
又过了一会儿，我又打电话给妈妈：“我后面的动作记不住呀!”“哦——，原来这样，你可以告诉老师让老师把不会的再教教呀?你不说，老师也不知道。”妈妈挂了电话不久，蔡阿姨就打电话来了，我觉得奇怪，他们怎么总是一前一后的打电话??“下午十二点半就过来，排排队形就行了，我会让老师教的慢点的。”听了我好受了点，还是去吧，谁让自己口是心非的答应呢。
After a while, I called my mother again, "I can't remember the action behind me!" "Oh, so, you can tell the teacher to let the teacher teach again. If you don't say it, the teacher doesn't know." Soon after mom hung up, aunt Cai called. I thought it was strange that they always called one after the other. "Come at 12:30 in the afternoon, just line up. I will let the teacher teach slowly." Listen to me a little bit, or go, who let their duplicity of promise.
