7月12日，是一个多么令我开心的一天，因为这一天就是本人一年一度的生日。
July 12th is such a happy day for me because it is my annual birthday.
放学了，我蹦蹦跳跳地走在回家的小路上，盘算着妈妈会给我一份怎样的生日礼物呢？我的脑海里想出了之前去逛街时的场景：在一家玩具店，有一个非常大的乐高。我的眼睛和脚都被定在了那个地方，眼睛直勾勾地盯着乐高的每一个小小的零件。妈妈催促着我快点走，我像没有听见一样，还一直呆在原地。妈妈说：“你是不是想要这个大乐高呀？”我点头，说：“想要，想要，我特别喜欢这个大乐高，真的非常非常喜欢！”“下次等你生日，就给你买。”听到这话，我才开开心心地离开了商场。想到这里，我加快了回家的脚步。
After school, I bounced back and forth on the small path home, calculating what kind of birthday gift my mother would give me? My mind came up with a scene from when I went shopping before: in a toy store, there was a very large Lego. My eyes and feet were fixed in that place, staring straight at every small part of Lego. My mother urged me to leave quickly, but I stayed in place as if I hadn't heard her. Mom said, "Do you want this big LEGO?" I nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I really, really like this big LEGO!" "I'll buy it for you next time on your birthday." Hearing this, I left the mall happily. Thinking of this, I quickened my pace to go home.
到了家，我来不及换上拖鞋，直接甩掉脚上的鞋子，把书包狠狠地扔到了沙发上面，冲进房间里，发现桌子上没有什么礼物，只有一张贺卡，上面写着“把你所有作业全部写完，不写完就到走廊罚站。”。看到这儿，我心里不由自主地想“什么生日！生日是什么东西？过生日有什么用？没有礼物，没有蛋糕，只有写不完的作业等着我，不写还要去罚站！”
When I got home, I didn't have time to change into my slippers. I threw my backpack hard onto the sofa and rushed into the room. I found that there were no gifts on the table, only a greeting card that read "Finish all your homework, or you will be punished by standing in the hallway if you don't finish it. Seeing this, I couldn't help but think to myself, "What kind of birthday! What is a birthday? What's the use of celebrating a birthday? There are no gifts, no cake, only unfinished homework waiting for me. If I don't write, I'll be punished for standing
我很生气，别人家的小朋友过生日都很开心，都有礼物，为什么我没有？就在这时，妈妈从客厅里走了进来，笑眯眯地对我说：“你不要生气，你看贺卡下面还有一行字。”我拿起贺卡仔细看了一下，贺卡下方有一行小字，上面写着“上面的话是在跟你开玩笑，等我回来后给你一个大大的惊喜！”我问妈妈：“是什么惊喜？”“你看这是什么？”我闻言往妈妈身后看去，居然是我心心念念的乐高。我高兴地跳了起来，一把抱住妈妈说：“谢谢妈妈！”
I am very angry. Other children have happy birthdays and gifts, why don't I have them? At that moment, my mother walked in from the living room and said to me with a smile, "Don't be angry, look at the line of text under the card." I picked up the card and looked carefully. There was a small line of text below the card that read, "The words on it were just a joke with you. I'll give you a big surprise when I come back!" I asked my mother, "What kind of surprise is it?" "What do you think this is?" I looked behind my mother and it was actually the Lego that I had been longing for. I jumped up happily and hugged my mother, saying, "Thank you, Mom
礼物，就是妈妈送给我的惊喜。
A gift is a surprise that my mother gave me.
