长大的快乐

◎ 刘 昊/译

我上小学之后就开始变得独立了。我不再是小女孩了，可以自己做出决定。我的父母总是习惯于为我做所有决定，但我告诉他们，我自己能行。我父母听了很高兴，就不再为我做所有的决定了，而且还会咨询我的意见。我觉得受到了尊重，这对我来说是好的。长大意味着要承担责任和体贴他人。我尽量用成熟的方式思考。现在每个人都尊重我，也愿意倾听我的想法。这就是成长的快乐。

译文

The Happiness of Growing Up

Since I go to primary school，I start to become independent.I am not a little girl anymore，and I can make my own decision.My parents always get used to do everything for me，but I tell them that I can do it myself.Then my parents are very happy.They no longer make every decision for me and they will ask my opinion.I feel being respected and it is so good for me.Growing up means taking the responsibility and being considerate of others.I try not be childish and think in a mature way.Now everybody respects me and they are willing to listen to my idea.This is the happiness of growing up.
