我在姑姑那儿写作文，认识了一个新伙伴叫张若兰。真奇怪，我们的名字里都有一个“若”字，或许是有缘吧。
I wrote a composition with my aunt and met a new partner named Zhang Ruolan. It's strange that there is a word "if" in our names. Maybe it's fate.
张若兰是个文静的女孩子。大大的眼睛，白白的皮肤，看上去特别瘦，我猜她只有四十多斤。她不太爱说话，总坐在旁边静静地听别人说话。听到有趣的地方，还偷偷一笑。不象我，整天叽哩咕嘟的，废话一大堆。不过，有一次我发现她和姑姑说话，还挺能讲的，讲的都是荡口土话呢。这我可比不上她，因为我习惯说普通话。为此妈妈老说我是“假洋鬼子”。
Zhang Ruolan is a quiet girl. Big eyes, white skin, look very thin, I guess she only has more than 40 Jin. She is not very talkative. She always sits beside and listens to others quietly. Hear interesting place, still secretly smile. Not like me, all day long, a lot of nonsense. However, once I found out that she was quite able to speak with her aunt. She spoke Dang dialect. I can't compare with her because I'm used to speaking Mandarin. For this reason, my mother always said that I was a "fake foreign devil".
我十分想知道平时她在家中最喜欢干什么。我问她，可是她就是抿着嘴直笑，不说话。不管我怎么激她，她就是不肯说。我猜她平时在家肯定一个人，要不准是睡大觉，所以才这么不爱说话。
I really want to know what she likes to do most at home. I asked her, but she just chuckled and didn't talk. No matter how I excite her, she just won't say. I guess she must be alone at home. It's not allowed to go to sleep. That's why she doesn't like talking.
张若兰真是个奇怪的女孩子，我真不知道她的小闹瓜里在想写什么，让人觉得高深莫测，不象我是个“透明人”，喜怒哀乐全写在脸上。
Zhang Ruolan is really a strange girl. I don't know what she is trying to write in her little noisy melon. It makes people think it's profound. It's not like I'm a "transparent person". All the emotions and joys are written on my face.
