今天，妈妈买一个像蜷缩的刺猬一样的水果，我问妈 妈：“这是什么呀？”妈妈惊喜地说：“是榴莲。”“什么？榴莲？”我吃惊的说。怪不得它的样子很古怪。
我把鼻子凑过去闻了闻，连忙捏住了鼻子，说：“这是什么怪味呀!臭哄哄的，真难闻！”忽然，妈妈笑呵呵说“50元钱一个呢！”我想：50元太贵了。可又想：“不吃白不吃呀！”我不管三七二十一掐住鼻子，添了一小口。“唉？”刚才那臭哄哄的味道，现在竟然不翼而飞了。于是，我又吃了一小口，呀，不错，味道凉丝丝、甜津津的特别好吃，真是回味无穷啊！于是，我又吃了几大口。幸亏，妈妈连忙阻止，我才停止不吃。
I put my nose to smell it. I quickly pinched it and said, "what kind of smell is this? It's so smelly. It's really smelly!" Suddenly, my mother said with a smile, "50 yuan for one!" I think: 50 yuan is too expensive. Can think again: "do not eat white do not eat!" I pinched my nose and took a small bite. "Alas?" The stinky smell just now has disappeared. So, I took another small bite. Ah, it's good. It tastes cool and sweet. It's really delicious! So I took a few more big bites. Thanks to my mother, I stopped eating.
榴莲不愧是水果之王。保你吃了还想吃。
Durian is the king of fruit. I'll make sure you want to eat.
现在，我再也不讨厌榴莲了。
Now, I don't hate durian anymore.
