I spent this summer vacation in quite a different way. I used to run about every day in previous summer vacations, but this summer vacation I simply could not afford to do so. I would soon be in the last year of my high-school education and would after graduation be up against the college entrance examinations. Though those examinations were still a year away, I had to start early to make myself well prepared by reviewing all those things I had learned at school and this summer vacation was the ideal time for me to do this. At first I was rather dismayed at the thought of this, but later I thought it was better this way because by working hard this summer I could count on endless happy summers to come. With this in mind I then set to work like anything and only occasionally went out for a change or did some physical. I was not at all bored by this kind of life, for I was sustained by a hope.

　　我这个暑假都在非常不同的方式。我对每天用于运行在以前的暑假,但是这个暑假我只是不能这么做。我很快就会在去年高中教育和毕业后将面对高考。虽然这些考试仍一年了,我不得不开始早让自己准备好通过检查所有这些东西我在学校所学到的,这个暑假对我来说是最理想的时间。起初的想法让我很沮丧,但后来我认为这是更好的这种方式,因为今年夏天通过努力工作我能指望无尽的快乐夏天的到来。这一点我然后开始工作就像任何东西,只是偶尔出去吃或做了一些物理变化。我没有厌烦这种生活,因为我持续的希望。
