I put down Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
But I kept going over the exciting story in my mind.
The book was full of magic.
But Charlie's happy family was the most magical part of the story.
我读完查理和巧克力工厂。
但我不断地在脑海中重温这个激动人心的故事。
这本书充满了魔力。
但查理的幸福家庭是故事中最神奇的部分。
Charlie's home was a small house at the side of a big town,
His family was very poor. His four grandparents stayed in the only bed in the house.
The family never had enough food.
查理的家是一座小镇边的小房子.
他的家庭很穷。
他的四个祖父母住在家里唯一的一张床上。
这家人从来没有足够的食物。
They always ate watery cabbage soup for dinner.
In winter, the freezing wind swept across the floor all night long.
To my surprise, the family were happy together.
他们晚饭总是吃水白菜汤。
冬天，寒风彻夜难眠。
令我惊讶的是，这家人在一起很幸福。
In the evenings,Charlie sat with his grandparents in bed and listened to their stories.
Charlie's parents often joined in.
Every night, the room became a happy place. The whole family forgot about their hungry and poor life.
晚上，查理和祖父母坐在床上听他们的故事。
查理的父母经常加入进来。
每天晚上，房间都变成了一个快乐的地方。全家人都忘记了他们饥饿和贫穷的生活。
This touched me greatly.
In some people's minds, happiness comes from things like money, But love, in fact, is the key to happiness.
Oscar Wilde once said, “Keep love in your heart. A lifewithout it is like a sunless garden..."
这深深地打动了我。
在一些人的心目中，幸福来自金钱等东西，但事实上，爱是幸福的关键。
奥斯卡·王尔德曾说过：“把爱放在心里。没有爱的生活就像没有阳光的花园……”
There are so many reasons to be happy.
I think love is the most important one.
It can move us, change us and give us a life full of happiness.
快乐的理由有很多。
我认为爱是最重要的。
它可以感动我们，改变我们，给我们一个充满幸福的生活。
