夏晶选译
Charlie was a little boy of five years old.He was very obedient1to his parents and teachers,so everyone loved him a lot.Due to his father’s job,his family moved to a new city,where he was admitted2in a new school.
查理是个五岁的小男孩。

他非常孝顺父母和尊敬老师，所以大家都很喜欢他。

由于他父亲工作的原因，他们一家搬到了一个新的城市，在那里他被一所新的学校录取了。

As Charlie was a good boy,soon most of his new classmates became his good friends.The teachers also praised3this new boy,because he was smart and nice to people.
由于查理是个好孩子，很快大多数新同学都成了他的好朋友。

老师们也表扬了这个新来的男孩，因为他很聪明，对人也很友好。

But there was one boy in the class who did not like Charlie at all.His name was Bill and he was a very naughty4boy,so no one liked him at all.He found that Charlie was a quiet boy.So he started making troubles5for his new classmate.
但是班上有一个男孩一点也不喜欢查理。

他的名字叫比尔，他是一个非常淘气的男孩，因此没有人喜欢他。

他发现查理是个文静的孩子，所以他开始找这位新同学的麻烦。

At the lunchtime,when Charlie was having lunch,Bill came up to him and asked,“Hey,what do you have for lunch?”“Cake and sweets,”Charlie answered with a smile.午饭时间，查理正在吃午饭，比尔走过来问他：“嘿，你午饭吃什么？”“蛋糕和糖果。

”查理笑着回答道。

“I love sweets and so I will eat this food today,”Bill said.He took the lunch box from Charlie.The other boys sitting around were angry,but no one protested 6.Because they were afraid of being bullied 7by Bill and his little gang 8.“我爱吃甜食，所以今天我要吃你的食物。

”比尔说着从查理那儿抢过饭盒，周围坐着的其他男孩都很生气，但没有人抗议，因为他们害怕被比尔和他的小团体欺负。

From that day,Bill often ate Charlie ’s lunch and even poured away the water from his water bottle one day.But Charlie still kept quiet and did not complain 9to the class teacher.This was what many of his friends suggested 10he do.从那一天起，比尔经常吃查理的午餐，甚至有一天把他水杯里的水都倒掉了。

但查理仍然保持沉默，没有向班主任告状。

这是他的许多朋友建议他做的。

Bill never did his homework and always forced 11the good boys of the class to do his homework.Charlie had to write it down on his copy for him.比尔从不做家庭作业，总是强迫班上的好孩子们帮他写作业，查理也不得不帮他写作业。

When Charlie ’s parents learned about all Bill had done,they wanted to come to the school and complain about this naughty boy.But Charlie stopped them and said,“Mom,Dad,please do not worry.Everything will be all right.After all,Bill is also a kid like me.”当查理的父母知道比尔的这些恶行后，他们想来学校教训这个淘气的男孩。

但查理拦住他们说:“妈妈，爸爸，请不要担心。

一切都会好起来的。

毕竟，比尔和我一样也是个孩子。

”
The days went by and the time came for the sports meeting at the school. Charlie was also good at sports and he took part in many events12.Bill also took part in the sack race13,though he could not run first because of his fat body.
日子一天天过去，学校开运动会的时间到了。

查理很擅长运动，他参加了许多项目。

比尔也参加了套袋赛跑，但他不可能跑第一，因为他很胖。

When Bill saw that Charlie won first prizes in100meters and200 meters,he felt very jealous14.He thought that he would not let it happen in the sack race.
当比尔看到查理在100米和200米比赛中获得第一名时，他非常嫉妒，心想在套袋赛跑中不能让这种事发生。

As planned,Bill tried to push Charlie while running on the tracks15of sack race.But he fell down.His leg was badly injured16and he could not even stand up by himself.And as he was not popular with his classmates,even his own best friends did not turn up to help him.
按计划，比尔在套袋赛跑的跑道上试图推倒查理。

但是他自己摔倒了。

他的腿受了重伤，甚至没办法自己站起来。

由于他在同学中很不受欢迎，甚至他自己最好的朋友也没有来帮助他。

Charlie at first did not know what happened and went ahead running for winning the race.But when he turned back to see that Bill couldn’t get up,he gave up the race and came back to help him.Charlie had to work hard to pull Bill up,as Bill was much bigger.
查理起初不知道发生了什么事，他继续向前跑，争取赢得比赛。

但是当他回头看到比尔站不起来时，他放弃了比赛，返回来帮助他。

查理费了很大的劲才把比尔拉起来，因为比尔个子比他大很多。

Charlie also took him to the school doctor.“You lost this sack race only
【Notes 】because of me,”said Bill,after coming out of doctor ’s room.查理还带他去看校医。

“你输掉这场比赛都是因为我。

”比尔从医务室出来后说。

“My mom tells that helping a friend is more important than winning a race,”answered Charlie.“我妈妈告诉我，帮助朋友比赢得比赛更重要。

”查理回答说。

Bill was very touched by the words and decided not to bully Charlie again.He also decided in his mind that he would try to be good like Charlie.After that day,Charlie and Bill became best friends.This shows that act of kindness can change everyone into a better person.比尔听了这个回答很感动，决心以后再也不欺负查理了。

他还在心里决定，他要努力像查理那样做个好孩子。

从那以后，查理和比尔成了最好的朋友。

这个故事表明，善良的行为可以让每个人变得更好。
