Last week, my four-year-old daughter, Sally, was invited to a children's party.
上周，我四岁的女儿萨利被邀请去参加一个儿童派对。
I decided to take her by train.

Sally was very excited because she had never travelled on a train before.
萨莉非常兴奋，因为她以前从未乘坐过火车。
She sat near the window and asked questions about everything she saw.

Suddenly, a middle-aged lady got on the train and sat opposite Sally.
突然，一位中年女士上了火车，坐在萨莉对面。
Hello, little girl, she said.
“你好，小女孩，”她说。
Sally did not answer, but looked at her curiously.

The lady was dressed in a blue coat and a large, funny hat.
这位女士穿着一件蓝色外套和一顶大的、有趣的帽子。
After the train had left the station, the lady opened her handbag and took out her powder compact.
在火车离开车站后，这位女士打开了她的手提包，拿出了她的粉饼。
She then began to make up her face.
她然后开始化妆。
Why are you doing that? Sally asked.
“你为什么那样做？”莎莉问道。
To make myself beautiful, the lady answered.
“为了使我自己美丽，”这位女士回答道。
She put away her compact and smiled kindly.
她收起她的粉饼，亲切地笑了笑。
But you are still ugly, Sally said.
但是你仍然很丑，莎莉说。
Sally was amused, but I was very embarrassed!
萨莉被逗乐了，但我非常尴尬！
