题目内容
18.When I was a child,my parents often took me to an old house in a thick forest.No other children ever stayed there.I didn't even have the choice of playing with a brother or sister.I could never understand what the attraction(吸引) of the house was,even for my parents,who enjoyed nothing better than to sit in silence with a good book.The woman in the house,my father's distant cousin,was a terrible cook and her food was inedible..
One day,when I was wandering around the garden behind the house,I noticed a wooden house which had clearly been abandoned(被遗弃的).As I walked towards it,I heard a noise,like an animal moving hurriedly away.Then I saw a man with a long beard standing at the door.I was greatly surprised.
"Please don't tell them you saw me,"he said."They never use this place,and I have nowhere else to live.""Don't worry,"I said."I won't tell anyone.But are you all right out here?I mean-do you have enough to eat?"The old man shook his head.
The same evening,I took a small plastic bag into the dining room and,while no one was looking,emptied some of the food into it.Later,I got out of the back door secretly and gave the food to the old man,whose name I had discovered was Taff.
I had never seen anything else as lovely as the smile of satisfaction on Taff's face when he ate the food.From then on,my visits to the old house had a purpose,and I enjoyed every minute of the rest of my stay.

分析 翻译:
当我还是个孩子的时候,我的父母经常带我到一个茂密的森林里的一所老房子里,没有其他的孩子在那里呆着,我甚至没有可以选择的兄弟姐妹玩耍.我从来不懂房子有什么吸引力,即使是我的父母,没有什么比沉默的坐着看一本书更好.房子里的女人,我父亲的远房表妹,是一个糟糕的厨师,并且她的食物都不能吃..有一天,当我在房子后面的花园徘徊时,我注意到一个木制的房子,显然是被遗弃的.当我走到那,我听到一声像一只动物匆匆离开的噪音.然后我看到一个长胡子的人在门口站着我非常吃惊."请不要告诉他们你看见我了,"他说,"他们从来不使用这个地方,我没有别的地方住."我说."我不会告诉任何人.但你都是在这里吗?我是说你有足够的东西吃吗?"老人摇了摇头.当天晚上,我带着一个小塑料袋走进餐厅,当没有人看到的时候,把一些食物到在它里面.后来,我从后门偷偷拿给老人,我已经发现他的名字叫塔夫.当他吃完了,我从来没有见过什么满意的脸像塔夫脸上的微笑一样可爱.从那以后,我去老房子访问有目的.我享受我待在那里的每一分钟.
