第九篇: 雷蒙德 Raymond

Raymond is an active young man. He lives by the saying “If you can’t live the life you love, love the life you live” He greets everyone with a big smile and a friendly “Hi, how are you?” And he really wants to know! It’s hard to feel unhappy when we hear him whistling happily up and down the street.

雷蒙德是个积极主动的（active）年轻人。他信奉的格言是“如果你不能过你热爱的生活，那就热爱你所过的生活。”带着灿烂的微笑（smile），他向每一个人打招呼（greet），还来一句友好的（friendly）问候，“嗨，你好吗？”而且他确实想知道！当我们听到他欢快地吹着口哨在街道（street）上来来往往（up and down）时，想不高兴都难（hard）。

Raymond is strict in his work. He cares about the people on this street everyday. He knocks on Mrs. Jordan’s door to ask for a drink of cool water. He’s not really thirsty. Mrs. Jordan is old, and he just wants to make sure she’s okay.

雷蒙德对自己的工作要求严格（strict）。他关心（care about）街道上的居民。每天他都会敲（knock on／at）乔丹夫人的门（door）去要一杯凉（cool）水。他不是真的口渴（thirsty）。乔丹夫人年纪大了，他只是想确认（make sure）乔丹夫人一切正常。

Everybody dreams of doing something important. As a boy Raymond dreamed of being a scientist, in fact, he is a postman now.

每个人（everybody）都梦想（dream of）做些重要的事。雷蒙德小时候梦想成为一名科学家（scientist），实际上（in fact）他现在是一名邮递员（postman）。

Raymond looks good. His shirt and trousers always look very clean. After work, he likes going to the gym to take exercise.

雷蒙德看起来（look）很不错。他的衬衫（shirt）和裤子（trousers）总是非常干净（very clean）。下班后，他喜欢去体育馆（gym）锻炼（take exercise）。
