Wonder《奇迹男孩》075-Fortune Favors the Bold-天佑勇者

Fortune Favors theBold  天佑勇者

Mr. Browne’s Decemberprecept (n.准则，规范) was: Fortune (n.机遇，命运) favors (favor  v.宠爱，偏袒) the bold ( bold adj.敢于冒险的). We were all supposed towrite a paragraph about some time in our lives when we did something very braveand how, because of it, something good happened to us.

布朗先生的十二月信念是：天佑勇者。我们大家都要写一篇短文，记叙我们生命中偶尔的勇敢行为，因为勇敢，我们又得到了什么样的报偿。 

I thought aboutthis a lot, to be truthful. I have to say that I think the bravest thing I everdid was become friends with August. But I couldn’t write about that, of course.I was afraid we’d have to read these out loud, or Mr. Browne would put them upon the bulletin (n.公告，布告) board like he doessometimes. So, instead, I wrote this lame (adj. 蹩脚的；拙劣的) thing about how Iused to be afraid of the ocean when I was little. It was dumb but I couldn’tthink of anything else.

老实说，我想了很多。我必须说，我觉得我所做过的最勇敢的事情是成为奥古斯特的朋友。但我当然不能写这个。我怕我们到时必须当堂朗读，或者布朗先生会把它们贴在布告栏里，他有时候就这么做。因此，我写了一件无聊的事情——我小时候是如何怕大海的。这太傻了，但我想不出还有什么好写的。 

I wonder what August wrote about. He probably had a lot of things tochoose from.

我想知道奥古斯特写的是什么。大概他有很多选择吧。
