YUN and the Jade Bracelet by Helen Rikorvitz Pictures by Gabby Swakowska My name is YUN.
《云与玉镯》,作者海伦·里科维茨,插图加比·斯瓦科夫斯卡。我叫云。
2
I came here from Korea, a country far away.
3
Soon after we settled in America, it was time to celebrate my birthday.
4
I was hoping for a very special present, a jump rope.
5
I watched the girls in my schoolyard turning such a rope and jumping and singing happy songs.
6
I wanted so much to jump and sing with them, but I was still the new girl.
7
I had not been invited yet.
8
On my birthday, my mother called to me.
9
Little Yoon, come, I have a present for you.
10
I clapped my hands and ran to her.
11
She handed me something thin and flat wrapped in pretty paper.
12
Happy birthday, she said.
13
Jump ropes are not thin and flat, I thought.
14
I tried not to show my disappointment.
15
Thank you, Mother, I said, smiling.
16
My mother watched excitedly as I opened the present.
17
It was a Korean storybook about a little girl who was tricked by a tiger.
18
I knew the story, and I laughed at the silly girl.
19
The pictures are colorful, I said.
20
Yes, they remind me of the pictures you draw, Yoon.
21
I liked the book, but my heart still longed for a jump rope.
22
And here is another surprise, my mother said as she handed me a lovely box.
23
Inside was a pale green bracelet.
24
I held its cool smoothness in my hand.
25
A jade bracelet, Yoon, my mother said.
26
When I was a young girl, my own mother gave me this very bracelet.
27
Now I am giving it to you.
28
It is a wonderful present, I said.
29
It was so wonderful I felt afraid to take it from her.
30
Look, Yoon, she said.
31
Here is your Korean name now etched inside.
32
She showed me the dancing symbols that meant shining wisdom.
33
Then she told me the story of Jade.
34
Jade is a stone from the earth, but it is called the gem of the heavens.
35
Green is the color of happiness and hope, and it is said that wearing jade will bring you good luck.
36
It is the symbol of truth and friendship.
37
A precious gem for a precious daughter.
38
My mother slipped the bracelet onto my wrist.
39
At lunchtime the next day at school, I sat at the end of the table.
40
An older girl from another class sat down beside me.
41
Oh, look, she said, you are wearing such a pretty bracelet.
42
Thank you, I said.
43
You are alone today.
44
I will be your friend.
45
Would you like to play jump rope with me?
46
The older girl asked.
47
Jump rope?
48
Yes, yes, I answered.
49
Good, I will teach you.
50
We will have fun.
51
Yes, I said, smiling at my new friend.
52
Jump rope.
53
After lunch, we ran outside to play a while.
54
The older girl tied one end of the rope to the fence.
55
Then she gave me the other end to turn, turn.
56
She jumped and sang while I turned faster, slower, faster.
57
I turned and turned.
58
My arm grew tired.
59
I had learned the rope part very well, but I really wanted to learn the jump part.
60
"'When will I jump?' I asked.
61
"'Tomorrow,' the older girl said.
62
The bell rang.
63
It was time to go inside, and she took the rope from me.
64
I really like your bracelet, she said.
65
In America, friends share things.
66
If we are going to be friends, you should share your bracelet with me.
67
You should let me wear it, just for today.
68
My birthday bracelet?
69
Oh, no, no, no. I could not share that.
70
My mother's own mother had given it to her, and now it was mine.
71
No, no, I shook my head.
72
Well, then how can we be friends?
73
The older girl asked.
74
I thought you wanted to learn how to jump rope.
75
I slipped the jade bracelet off and held it in my hand.
76
My mother said it would bring me good luck and good friends.
77
But sharing it did not seem right.
78
Quickly, the older girl grabbed the bracelet from me and twisted it onto her own wrist.
79
Do not worry, she said.
80
I will give it back tomorrow.
81
When I got home from school, I went straight to my room.
82
My mother came in to check on me.
83
As I sat on my bed reading my new Korean storybook, she reached for my arm and gasped.
84
Where is your bracelet, Yoon?
85
I shrugged with shame, not trusting myself to speak.
86
Oh, I see a sad face.
87
Did you lose it at school, Yoon?
88
I shrugged again.
89
Maybe it rolled away and is hiding somewhere here, she said with teary eyes.
90
And she kneeled to look under my bed.
91
Mother, I said, tugging her sleeve.
92
I left it at school.
93
I will get it tomorrow.
94
The next morning, I waited in the schoolyard for the older girl.
95
She was still wearing my jade bracelet.
96
It is time to give back my bracelet, I said.
97
I will give it to you later, she said, rushing past me.
98
All morning, my heart was heavy with worry.
99
I could not remember how to spell cat or how to add two plus two.
100
After lunch, when the children ran outside, I found the older girl again.
101
You have my bracelet and I want it back, I said.
102
Stop bothering me, do not be a pest.
103
She pushed me away and laughed.
104
I was just like the silly girl in my storybook.
105
I had been tricked by a tiger.
106
Back in my classroom, I laid my head on my desk.
107
What is wrong, Yoon?
108
My teacher asked.
109
I told my teacher about the older girl, and she sent for her.
110
Do you have something that belongs to Yoon?
111
My teacher asked her.
112
Is that her bracelet you are wearing?
113
Oh no, the older girl said with her trickster tongue, it is mine.
114
No, it is my birthday bracelet, I said.
115
The children in my class gathered around us.
116
Yoon was wearing it yesterday, the ponytail girl said.
117
Yes, said the freckle boy, I saw it too.
118
Can you tell me something about this bracelet, Yoon? my teacher asked.
119
My mother gave it to me, I answered, looking into the tiger girl's face.
120
This bracelet is a symbol of kindness and courage.
121
It is a symbol of jade friendship, true friendship.
122
Now you tell me about this bracelet, my teacher said to the older girl.
123
Well, it is smooth and green, she answered in a sure voice.
124
I worried I would never get my bracelet back.
125
I did not feel like shining wisdom.
126
My mother should have named me Shining Fool instead.
127
Then I had a very good idea.
128
I whispered something into my teacher's ear.
129
So tell me about the inside of this bracelet, she asked the older girl.
130
Well, it is smooth and green, she repeated.
131
The teacher told her to take it off, and the girl struggled to get it over her hand.
132
My teacher looked inside and saw the dancing Korean symbols.
133
Do you know what this says?
134
She asked the girl.
135
No, the older girl said.
136
Well, I thought it was my bracelet.
137
I used to have one just like it.
138
Maybe this one does belong to Yoon.
139
My teacher's eyes said, older girl, you are in trouble.
140
Then my teacher slid the jade bracelet easily over my hand.
141
Here is your name, bracelet, shining wisdom. And it fit perfectly.
142
My mother saw the bracelet on my wrist after school.
143
She clapped her hands.
144
Aha, it was at school.
145
Mother, I asked, does wearing jade make wishes come true?
146
Yes, she said.
147
it is known to happen she smiled and what are your wishes
148
so I told her about my jump rope wish
149
and my wish for true friends
150
and I told her a story about a wise girl who tricked a tiger about the author and illustrator.

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
