天还没有亮，街上是死一般的宁静，昨晚的一场雨，使得许多植物只剩下光秃秃的枝干。
The sky is still dark, and the streets are as peaceful as death. Last night's rain left many plants with only bare branches.
我拿着两张试卷出了门，一边走向垃圾桶，一边将试卷揉作一团。我十分急躁，还没等到垃圾桶旁，就已经扔出了试卷，不幸的是，没有扔中，试卷掉了下来。
I walked out the door with two test papers, walked towards the trash can, and crumpled them up. I was very impatient, and before I could reach the trash can, I had already thrown out the test paper. Unfortunately, I didn't hit it and the paper fell off.
我像是逃离案发现场的凶手一样，赶紧向家里走，还一边低语：“该死的历史，这么难！”这时，太阳在慢慢升起，第一束光即将照下，带来它的温暖与希望。
I hurriedly walked home like a murderer escaping from the crime scene, whispering, "Damn history, so difficult!" At this moment, the sun was slowly rising, and the first beam of light was about to shine, bringing its warmth and hope.
我半边身子刚进入了一片阴影，就听见了一句“等等！”然后又听到了一阵跑步的声音。
As soon as half of my body entered a shadow, I heard a "wait!" followed by a sound of running.
我回头一看，是老莫，一名环卫工人，他现在每天都在负责这一块的卫生，非常孤独。
I turned around and saw Lao Mo, a sanitation worker who is now responsible for the hygiene of this area every day, feeling very lonely.
“乱丢垃圾哪里能行，你的妈妈难道没有教过你吗？”他责怪道。
Where can littering be done? Didn't your mother teach you? "He scolded mischievously.
说着，一边打开了纸团，发现是一张顶着36。5的试卷。
As he spoke, he opened the paper ball and found that it was a sheet with 36 on top. The exam paper of 5.
然后说：“怎么，就算考差了也不可以这样子呀。”然后就向我阐述他年轻时不努力，最后还没有考上学的经历，这时我感觉到有光照在我的脸上，随着他的话语，我陷入了沉思。
Then he said, 'What, even if I don't do well in the exam, I can't do this.' Then he explained to me his experience of not working hard when he was young and not yet taking the exam to school. At this moment, I felt a light shining on my face, and with his words, I fell into contemplation.
七年级时，我历史还不错，勉强能够作为我的提分项，我那时还不知道历史会折分，只想着要精益求精，那时我每天早上都要早一些起床，然后读一段全球通史，那时老莫也还在与同事一起开清理垃圾的车，一边聊天，一边工作，没有像现在这样，那么孤独。后来我听说了历史要折分，那时我的心都凉了半截，于是我又觉得历史，就不能够为我提分了，于是便转头开始干起物理，便也不再为历史付出那么多努力了。
When I was in seventh grade, my history was pretty good, barely able to serve as my topic. At that time, I didn't know that history would be graded, so I just wanted to strive for excellence. At that time, I had to wake up early every morning and read a section on global history. At that time, Lao Mo was still driving a garbage truck with colleagues, chatting and working at the same time, not as lonely as now. Later, I heard that history needs to be divided, and at that time my heart was half cold. So I felt that history could not give me a score, so I turned to physics and stopped putting in so much effort for history.
现在36点5分，就算不折分，也是73分，远远不如七年级时的96分。
At 36.5 now, even without deduction, it is still 73 points, far less than the 96 points in seventh grade.
我曾经觉得折分以后历史就拉不开差距了，可是48分的同学比我高了11点5分。
I used to think that history wouldn't be able to bridge the gap after being divided, but the student who scored 48 points was 11:5 points higher than me.
大家在一开始都是辉煌的，可是如今我却成了夕阳，成为辉煌的衬托。而这些都是因为我的不重视与疏忽。
At the beginning, everyone was brilliant, but now I have become the sunset, a backdrop to glory. And all of this is due to my lack of attention and negligence.
想当时我叹了一口气，暗暗发誓，要继续努力。此时我抬起头看向老莫，他正在仔细地钻研我的试卷，我想可能他曾经学习都还好，只是因为后来不重视，所以落到了这个田地。
At that time, I sighed and secretly swore to continue working hard. At this moment, I lifted my head and looked at Lao Mo, who was carefully studying my exam paper. I think maybe he used to study well, but because he didn't pay attention later, he ended up in this field.
但我与他不同，他现在也只能自食恶果，可是我才九上期中，我还有精力，有时间去弥补。
But I am different from him. He can only bear the consequences now, but I am only in the ninth semester. I still have energy and time to make up for it.
他将试卷弄平，还给我，我转头时看见先前还在枝条上的露水，在阳光照耀下熠熠生辉，我身后的阴影也在阳光下荡然无存。
He flattened the test paper and returned it to me. As I turned my head, I saw the dew that had been on the branches before shining brightly in the sunlight, and the shadow behind me disappeared completely in the sunlight.
我抖去那本全球通史上的灰尘时，听见老莫在自言自语：“被重视处理的每一个细节，都会成为向前的道路的一部分啊！”
When I shook away the dust from that book of global history, I heard Lao Mo muttering to himself, "Every detail that is valued and processed will become a part of the path forward
