英文原版对话1000个:846 Shibika's Year

（单词翻译）

Fred: Hi, Shibika, so this is almost the end of the year, 2007. Can you tell me a bit, how was your year this year?

Shibika: Yeah, I had pretty nice year actually. I went through a lot of ups and downs, and yeah, at first I did really well in my classes and I got a scholarship¹ so that was something that was really nice. It made my parents really proud of me, but then later I went back home for vacation and then unfortunately³, I met through an accident, a car accident, and yeah, I had to be in bed for a month or something, so that was... initially⁴ I was like, a bit of thrown off but then that itself was a very good learning⁵ experience because it made me really strong and, yeah...

Fred: OK, so you're saying that even though you had a bad experience, it made you a stronger person.

Shibika: That's right. Yeah. It made me a really strong person and then it was like, I was not anymore more scared of accidents and I was not scared of any unfortunate² mishappenings because they're a part of your life, you know, you can't really help them happening, they don't happen for reason, so you just got to accept them and move on.

Fred: Yeah, that's right but I'm guessing that you're gonna be so much more of a stronger person the following year and so you can accomplish⁶...

Shibika: That's right. That's right.

Fred: Many more things.

Shibika: Yeah. At that time I felt as if like I had wasted a lot of time and I was not able to go for my classes or I could not... I was not able to enjoy my vacations but it was, it didn't turn out to be that bad because I sat at home, watched TV and I was being⁷ served and taken care of all the time so that was a good thing.

Fred: That's nice. You can say that that's the best thing that happened to you this year.

Shibika: Yeah. The best thing in disguise⁸, you know, because initially I didn't see it as a good thing obviously⁹ but, yeah, it made me feel how much people who are close to me, how much they care for me and how much they love me, so it was a really good thing.
