Zhou San afternoon, after class of the first Chinese, mr. Chen begins to assign task: “ everybody comes home tonight prepare a story about historical character, we will appear on the stage to tell tomorrow, the person selected of taletelling, the form that takes lot will decide. ” ! Will be about tomorrow taletelling! I am frightened by the exercise of this arise suddenly foolish. Taletelling! My weak sports! The view that to moment my deciding can be delivered by classmates feels nervous, still perhaps can get finally by classmates' derisive and desolate consequence.
周三下午，第一节语文课后，陈老师开始布置作业：“今晚大家回家准备一个关于历史人物的故事，明天我们上台讲，讲故事的人选呢，采取抽签的形式来决定。”啊！明天就要讲故事了！我被这突如其来的作业吓傻了。讲故事啊！我的弱项啊！到时候我定会被同学们投来的目光感到紧张的，最后也许还会落得被同学们嘲笑冷落的后果。
Classes are over, I am brooding all the way. Arrive home, I begin to make sufficient preparation at once.
放学，我一路上都在沉思。一到家，我连忙开始做充分的准备。
The following day I come to the class, each holds out classmates nervous. The teacher walks into a classroom, narrative of “ history person is met a few marked big character show ” to go up in TV screen. On the class quiet exceptionally, everybody appears so earnest, so serious, dare not breathe heavily even atmosphere. Begin ballot, it is strange that the teacher is held out, come with playing card actually ballot. Regulation is as follows: The teacher smokes a piece first, one person of whole class classmate a piece. 12 classmates of as same as the teacher's card design and color in smoking appear on the stage taletelling; The classmate of ” of king of small king of the “ in smoking is a commissioner. The teacher dealt. Of my be nervous, for fear that is smoked in, for fear that is told bad to be mocked by the classmate. But my think better of thinks, if I am on a stage liberally, glibly is telling a story, the stage steps down in the applause of classmates, do not carry have many proud! But, can in case am I told bad how to do? Return hesitate when me not before when, the card already divided my hand, the atmosphere all round becomes intense at a draught rise. When the teacher calls “ to turn over card ” , resemble putting a hare to write a composition in my bosom child, in the heart praying silently: “ must not be smoked in I, in must not be being smoked me! ” the card of this round of teacher is spade K, my card is I dare have not seen …… , a piece of so thin and light playing card, as if the rock with a heavy hoisting jack, let me how break up not to break up. With the desk is urgent, helping me see —— is “ diamonds Q” ! I am mad with joy, need not appear on the stage taletelling! I can sit up on the seat to listen to classmate taletelling! The classmate in smoking each appeared on the stage, their some is very nervous, arrived on the stage tongue-tied; Some very loosen, dash along; Still some is too nervous, get ready because of was being done not have yesterday again, place above station did not say one sentence, be forced silent and nonofficeholding ……
第二天我来到班上，同学们一个个都挺紧张的。老师走进教室，“历史人物故事会”几个醒目的大字显示在电视屏幕上。班上安静得出奇，每个人都显得那么严肃，那么认真，连大气都不敢喘。开始抽签了，老师倒挺奇怪，竟然用扑克牌来抽签。规则如下：老师先抽一张，全班同学一人一张。抽中与老师的牌同样花色的12名同学上台讲故事；抽中“小王大王”的同学为评委。老师发牌了。我提心吊胆的，生怕被抽中，生怕讲不好被同学嘲笑。可我转念一想，要是我大方地走上台，流畅地讲着故事，在同学们的掌声中走下台，别提有多自豪了！可，可万一我讲坏了怎么办呢？当我还踟蹰不前时，牌已分到我手，周围的气氛一下子变得紧张起来。当老师喊“翻牌”时，我怀里像揣着一只兔作文子，心中默默祈祷着：“千万别抽中我，千万别抽中我！”这一轮老师的牌是黑桃K，我的牌是……我已经不敢看了，如此薄而轻的一张扑克牌，仿佛一块千斤重的石头，让我怎么翻都翻不开。同桌急了，帮我看了一眼——是“方块Q”！我欣喜若狂，不用上台讲故事喽！我可以端坐在座位上听同学讲故事啦！抽中的同学一个个都上台了，他们有的很紧张，到了台上结结巴巴；有的十分放松，滔滔不绝；还有的太紧张了，又因昨天没准备好，所以上台一句未说，只好默默下台……
Although the first round of my opportunity that had escaped to appear on the stage, but what the first player tells is the story —— that I prepare " Zhang Liang does obeisance to division " , this makes my confidence big decrease, how to do, taletelling has one round not merely, still have 2 rounds! I more in fearing the 2nd round to be smoked, the 2nd round begin to smoke person selected, this I am more nervous, it is 15 well-bucket hit water —— be agitated simply! Lax nerve, again take up. But the commissioner's grading attracts me to advance commonly like bait again, in smoking good, in be still being smoked good? indecisive when, with desk tell me, the 2nd round I was escaped again! The teacher is “ diamonds 9” , and I am “ wintersweet 7” . Two rounds did not appear on the stage! This lets my be overjoyed, have …… of small lose of a silk again
虽然我第一轮逃过了上台的机会，但第一位选手讲的就是我准备的故事——《张良拜师》，这让我信心大减，怎么办，讲故事不只有第一轮，还有第二轮哪！我更害怕第二轮被抽中，第二轮开始抽人选了，这次我更紧张了，简直就是十五个吊桶打水——七上八下！松懈的神经，又一次绷紧了。可评委的评分又像鱼饵一般吸引我前进，抽中好，还是不要被抽中好呢？正犹豫不决时，同桌告诉我，第二轮我又躲过了！老师是“方块9”，而我是“梅花7”。两轮都没上台！这让我喜出望外之余，又有一丝丝小失落……
Why dare can I be afraid that the classmate is derisive and appear on the stage? Why do I want to appear on the stage again does taletelling get a good mark? I do not understand up to now.
为什么我会怕同学嘲笑而不敢上台呢？为什么我又想上台讲故事得个好分数呢？我至今都不明白。(文/周逸城)
