在我们的生活中，我们做了很多困难的事情，有意无意的。对于一些困难的任务，我们得到赞赏，而有些则被忽视。

I would like to describe one of the difficult jobs I did and was appreciated as well. It was an event when I was around 18 years old and saved a little boy who was drowning in a pond. That day I was near a big pond of our town and all of a sudden I noticed a human hand in the water. No other part of the little boy’s body could be seen except his hand that he was desperately trying to get up at the last moment of his life. Initially, I thought that I was just hallucinating and nothing was in the water but instantly I changed my mind and had been sure that it was a boy who was drowning. I took off my shoes and jumped into the water. Then I realized my mistake that I have not pointed out the exact place where I thought someone was sinking.

我想描述一下我做过的困难的工作之一，我也很感激。在我18岁的时候，我救了一个溺水的小男孩。那天我在我们镇上的一个大池塘边，突然我注意到有一只手在水里。除了他的手之外，除了他的身体的其他部分，谁也看不见他。在他生命的最后一刻，他拼命地想站起来。起初，我以为我只是产生了幻觉，水中什么也没有，但我立刻改变了主意，确信是一个男孩溺水了。我脱下鞋子跳进水里。然后我意识到我的错误，我没有指出确切的地方，我认为有人正在下沉。

I desperately swam and went to the approximate place after I struggled for few minutes. But there was none to be found. I started feeling very helpless and found some people were looking at me with curious eyes. I shouted that I saw a boy was drowning and trying to save him. I found 2-3 others also get into the water to find the boy. I felt overwhelmed with the urge to find the boy. All of a sudden I saw the flash on water and quickly reached there. I felt someone who I had felt with my body and I tried to pull out him from the water. But to my surprise, it seems impossible to me to bring the boy out of the water.

我拼命地游着，挣扎了几分钟后，我来到了大致的地方。但是没有找到。我开始感到很无助，发现有人用好奇的眼神看着我。我大叫，我看见一个男孩快淹死了，正试图救他。我发现另外2-3人也下水去找男孩。我迫切地想找到那个男孩。突然，我看到水面上有一道闪光，我迅速地赶到了那里。我感觉到一个我用身体感觉过的人，我试图把他从水中拉出来。但令我吃惊的是，我似乎不可能把那个男孩从水里拉出来。

I used all of my force, energy and determination and will to get the boy from the water. I had to struggle a lot and I was sure how long it took me to bring him up. To me, it seemed like an eternity and finally I had been able to grab the boy firmly and swam towards the land. I was worried because the boy had already lost his conscience and I tried my best to help him to breath. I pulled down and up my hands very strongly over his chest and finally he coughed. I felt very tired and yet happy that the boy was out of danger. Some people came to extend their helping hands and they took the boy to the nearby hospital. I went to the hospital and returned home when the boy was completely safe.

我用尽我所有的力气、精力、决心和意志把这个男孩从水里救出来。我挣扎了很久，我确定我花了多长时间把他抚养成人。对我来说，这似乎是一个永恒的过程，我终于能够牢牢地抓住那个男孩，向陆地游去。我很担心，因为男孩已经失去了他的良心，我尽力帮助他呼吸。我用力拉住他的胸口，双手用力向上拉，最后他咳嗽起来。我感到很累，但很高兴男孩脱离了危险。一些人伸出他们的援助之手，他们把男孩带到附近的医院。我去了医院，在孩子完全安全的时候回家了。

I felt real proud to be able to save the boy and the gratefulness I saw in the boy’s parents is something I will never forget. People appreciated my bravery and efforts and I also felt very relieved and proud.

我为能够拯救这个男孩感到非常自豪，我从这个男孩的父母身上看到的感激之情是我永远不会忘记的。人们欣赏我的勇敢和努力，我也感到非常欣慰和自豪。
