拯救我们的公园 Save Our Parks

by Kayla J. 翻译:Ryne

Our local parks were in bad shape. It was spring, and they needed to be cleaned up and to have new flowers planted. No one was doing anything, so I called the parks department. That’s when I learned there was no money to take care of our parks. I talked to my friends, and then we decided to do something about it.

我们当地的公园状态不好。春天的时候，它们需要被打扫清理并种植上新的花儿。没有人为它们做任何事，所以我叫它们公园公寓。就是那个时候我发现没有钱去照料我们的公园。我和我的朋友们谈论过后我们决定做点什么。

“Do you want to help fix up the park down the street on Saturday?” I asked over and over again. I called at least twenty adults and students in the neighborhood that week. Most people were happy to help.

“请问星期六你想帮忙整理街头的公园吗？”我一遍又一遍地问道。在那周，我至少给社区里20个成人和同学打了电话。他们大多数人都乐意伸出援手。

Saturday morning came, and all my neighbors were at the park ready to work! They were waiting for me to give them directions. I asked, “Will you clean those leaves?” to the people who had rakes. I told others where to plant the flowers.

星期六早上到了，我的所有邻居在公园里准备劳作了。他们都在等待我给他们讲解说明。我向拿着耙子的人问道：“请问你们能清理那些落叶吗？”我告诉其他人地方去种花。

It was a fantastic day! The park became a true neighborhood place after we worked together.

多好的一天啊！在我们一起的劳作后，公园变成了一个真正的社区场所。
