第18單元 音樂禮物
Jen had a best friend whom she loved dearly. They saw each other or talked on the phone everyday. Christmas was coming up and Jen wanted to do something special for her friend. She knew her friend liked the classical song Pachabel's Canon and she knew her friend loved the violin. Jen knew what to give her best friend.
珍有個最要好的朋友，她們每天都會見面或者打電話聊天。圣誕節(jié)快到了，珍想為她的朋友做點特別的事。她知道她的朋友很喜歡古典樂曲帕海貝爾的卡農，她也知道朋友喜歡小提琴，珍想到要送最好的朋友什么禮物。
She walked down the hallway and went to her parent's closet. There she took out an oldviolin no one played. Jen looked in the pile of CD's her family owned and found Pachabel'sCanon. She played the song loud. Copying what she heard squeaked out some sounds on the dusty violin.
她走進房間，在父母的衣柜里，找到一把沒人拉的小提琴，并在全家人的CD堆中，找到帕海貝爾的卡農CD。她大聲播放音樂，聽到什么，就跟著用那把占滿灰塵的小提琴嘎吱嘎吱地拉出聲音。
Four weeks later, it was time to give her friend her present.She sat her friend down, took a deep breath and began to play. The song was a little sharp on the ear at times, but her friend hardly remembered that. Instead, her friend remembered the tremendous love she had for Jen the day she played Pachebel's Canon on the violin for her.
四個星期后，送禮物的時刻到了。她請朋友坐下，深吸口氣，然后便開始演奏。有時候曲子聽起來有點刺耳，可是她的朋友幾乎忘了這件事，她只記得珍為她拉小提琴演奏帕海貝爾的卡農那天，她好愛好愛她。
