"Wanted: Violin.
Can't pay much. Call ..."http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
诚征：小提琴。不要太贵。请电…
Why did I notice that? I wondered, since I rarely look at the
classified ads.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
为什么我会注意到那个？我不知道，因为我很少看分类广告。
I laid the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering
what had happened many years before, when my family struggled to
make a living on our farm. I, too, had wanted a violin, but we
didn't have the money...http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
我把报纸放在膝部，闭上眼睛，回忆起许多年前所发生的事，那时我们一家人在农场上奋斗谋生。我也想要一把小提琴，但是我们没有钱…
When my older twin sisters began showing an interest in
music, Harriet Anne learned to play Grandma's upright piano, while
Suzanne turned to Daddy's violin.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
当我的双胞胎姊姊开始对音乐表现出兴趣时，哈丽特·安学习弹祖母的平台型钢琴，而苏姗使用父亲的小提琴。
Simple tunes soon became lovely melodies as the twins played
more and more.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
当这对双胞胎愈弹愈多时，简单的曲子就变成了可爱的歌曲。
Caught up in the rhythm of the music, my baby brother danced
around while Daddy hummed and Mother whistled. I just
listened.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
被音乐的韵律所感染，我的小弟弟跳得团团转，而我父亲哼著歌，母亲吹著口哨。我只是听著。
When my arms grew long enough, I tried to play Suzanne's
violin.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
当我的手臂长得够长，我尝试要拉苏姗的小提琴。
I loved the mellow sound of the firm bow drawn across the
strings.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
我喜爱稳稳的弓拉过弦的那种圆滑的声音。
Oh, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the
question.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
啊，我多么想要有一把(小提琴)啊！但是我知道那是不可能的。
One evening as the twins played in the school orchestra, I
closed my eyes tight to capture the picture firmly in my
mind.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
有一天晚上，这对双胞胎在学校的管弦乐团里演奏，我紧闭著眼睛来稳稳地捕捉脑中的图画。
Someday, I'll sit up there, I vowed silently.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
我暗地里发誓，有一天，我要高高地坐在那里。
It was not a good year. At harvest the crops did not bring as
much as we had hoped.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
那不是很顺利的一年。收成时农作物并没有如我们希望的赚来那样多的钱。
Yet even though times were hard, I couldn't wait any longer
to ask, "Daddy, may I have a violin of my own?"http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
但是即使日子困苦，我也无法再等久一点才问：「爸，我可以有一把属于自己的小提琴吗？」
"Can't you use Suzanne's?"http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
「你能不能用苏姗的呢？」
"I'd like to be in the orchestra, too, and we can't both use
the same violin at the same time."http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
「我也想要参加管弦乐团，而且我们两个人不能同时使用同一把小提琴。」
Daddy's face looked sad.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
爸爸的脸显得很伤心。
That night, and many following nights, I heard him remind God
in our family devotions, "... and Lord, Mary Lou wants her own
violin."http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
那天夜晚以及往后很多个夜晚，我都在我们全家人祈祷时听到他提醒上帝：「…主啊，玛莉·罗想要有她自己的小提琴。」
One evening we all sat around the table.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
有一天晚上，我们大家都围绕桌子坐著。
The twins and I studied.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
双胞胎(姊姊)和我在读书。
Mother sewed, and Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, George
Finkle, in Columbus, Ohio.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
母亲在缝衣服，而爸爸在写信给俄亥俄州哥伦布市名叫乔治·分克的朋友。
Mr. Finkle, Daddy said, was a fine violinist.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
爸爸说分克先生是一位很好的小提琴手。
As he wrote, Daddy read parts of his letter out loud to
Mother.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
当爸爸写信时，他把信上的某些部分大声念给母亲听。
Weeks later I discovered he'd written one line he didn't read
aloud: "Would you watch for a violin for my third daughter? I can't
pay much, but she enjoys music, and we'd like her to have her own
instrument."http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
几星期之后，我发现他写的有一行并没有念出来：「请您为我的第三个女儿留意一下小提琴好吗？我拿不出很多的钱，但她很喜欢音乐，而我们也想要她有自己的乐器。」
When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later,
he announced, "We'll be driving to Columbus to spend the night with
Aunt Alice as soon as I can find someone to care for the
livestock."http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
几星期之后，爸爸收到一封哥伦布市来的信，他宣布说：「我一找到人来照顾家畜，我们就开车去哥伦布市和爱丽丝姑妈住一夜。」
At last the day arrived, and we drove to Aunt
Alice's.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
这一天终于到了。我们开车去爱丽丝姑妈的家。
After we arrived, I listened while Daddy made a phone call.
He hung up and asked, "Mary Lou, do you want to go with me to visit
Mr. Finkle?"http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
当我们到达后，爸爸打电话，我注意听著。他挂断电话问：「玛莉·罗，你要不要和我一起去拜访分克先生？」
"Sure," I answered.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
「当然要，」我回答说。
He drove into a residential area and stopped in the driveway
of a fine, old house.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
他开车子进入住宅区，然后在一栋雅观而古老的房子的车道上停下。
We walked up the steps and rang the door
chime.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
我们走上阶梯，然后按门铃。
A tall man, older than Daddy, opened the
door.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
一个高大，年龄比父亲大的人开了门。
"Come in!" He and Daddy heartily shook hands, both talking at
once.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
「请进！」他和父亲开心地握手，两人同时交谈著。
"Mary Lou, I've been hearing things about you. Your daddy had
arranged a big surprise for you!" Mr. Finkle ushered us into the
parlor.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
「玛莉·罗，我一直听说过你的事。你爸爸已经为你安排了一个大惊喜！」分克先生引导我们进入客厅。
He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out a violin and
started to play.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
他拿起一个盒子，把它打开，拿出一把小提琴，然后开始演奏。
The melody surged and spoke like waterfalls. Oh, to play like
him, I thought.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" TITLE="A Seven-dollar Dream 完形填空 父爱" />
曲子起伏像瀑布在说话一般。啊！但愿我能够演奏得像他那样，我心中想著。
Finishing the number, he turned to Daddy. "Carl, I found it
in a pawnshop for seven dollars. It's a good violin. Mary Lou
should be able to make beautiful music with it." Then he handed the
violin to me.http://www.englishfree.com.cn/images/playwav.gifSeven-dollar Dream |
