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.

　　我是在完全不同的方式度過(guò)這個(gè)暑假。我曾經(jīng)每天都跑在前面暑假，但是這個(gè)暑假我簡(jiǎn)直不能這樣做。我將很快在我的高中教育的最后一年，畢業(yè)后的大學(xué)入學(xué)考試。雖然這些考試仍然是一年的時(shí)間，我已經(jīng)開(kāi)始早做準(zhǔn)備，對(duì)所有這些事情我在學(xué)校學(xué)了，這個(gè)暑假是我理想的時(shí)間做這個(gè)。起初我很沮喪的念頭，但后來(lái)我覺(jué)得這是更好，因?yàn)檫@樣的努力在今年夏天我可以指望無(wú)盡快樂(lè)的夏天來(lái)。想到這我就開(kāi)始拼命工作，只是偶爾出去做一些物理。我不是在所有無(wú)聊的這種生活，因?yàn)槲沂且粋€(gè)持續(xù)的希望。
