今天，我看到妈妈手机里的一张照片，是妈妈带我去青岛老城区游玩时照的。我当时站在用石头铺的路面上，周围都是一些古老的、和我们现在不一样的旧房子。
Today, I saw a photo on my mom's phone, which was taken when she took me to visit the old city area of Qingdao. I was standing on a road paved with stones, surrounded by some old houses that were different from what we have now.
当时，我好奇地问妈妈：“这些房子为什么和我们现在的房子不一样呢？”
At that time, I curiously asked my mother:; Why are these houses different from our current houses? ”
妈妈说：“因为这不是我们中国人建的呀。”
Mom said, '; Because this was not built by us Chinese people. ”作文 WwW.ZuOwENbA.NeT
“那是谁建的呢？”
“ Who built it? ”
“是很早以前德国人建的。”
“ It was built by Germans a long time ago. ”
我更奇怪了：“德国人为什么要在青岛建房子呢？”
I'm even stranger: "; Why do Germans build houses in Qingdao? ”
妈妈告诉我：“因为我们国家那个时候很穷很弱，所以他们就来侵略我们，欺负我们，把我们青岛强占成他们的了。在最好的位置建了房子住。”
My mother told me:; Because our country was very poor and weak at that time, they came to invade us, bully us, and forcibly occupy Qingdao as theirs. Built a house in the best location to live in. ”
我听懂了一些，又问：“那这条路为什么也跟别的路不一样呢？”
I understood some of it and asked again: "; Why is this road different from other roads? ”
妈妈说：“他们用大轮船来把在中国抢的好东西运回德国，空着船来的时候，害怕在大海上被风浪打翻了船，就在船里装满了石头压舱，到青岛以后又让中国工人把石头打成方形，把它们铺成路面，就有了现在这样的路。”
Mom said, '; They used large steamships to transport the good things they had stolen in China back to Germany. When they came empty, they were afraid of being knocked over by the waves on the sea, so they filled the ship with stones to ballast. After arriving in Qingdao, they had Chinese workers square the stones and pave them into a road surface, and that's where the road is now. ”
我听了妈妈的话，又想起老师曾经在课堂上讲过，我们国家以前很落后，受尽了外国的欺负。现在我们已经发展得很强大了，就没有国家敢来侵略我们，就连美国也不敢。
After listening to my mother's words, I remembered what my teacher once said in class that our country used to be very backward and suffered from foreign bullying. Now that we have grown very strong, no country dares to invade us, not even the United States.
这件事让我明白了如果一个国家落后，就会被别的国家欺负，老百姓就没有好日子过。我现在一定要好好学习，长大以后把祖国建设得更强大、更美丽。
This incident made me understand that if a country falls behind, it will be bullied by other countries, and the people will not have a good life. I must study hard now and build a stronger and more beautiful country when I grow up.
