谁都能教我

小龙，你怎么了？你今天不太高兴。

Long, what's wrong? You don't seem too happy today.

我妹妹才八岁，今天下午她说要教我打篮球。我想，她才八岁，能教我什么？

My little sister is only eight. This afternoon she said she wanted to teach me basketball. I thought, she's only eight, what could she possibly teach me?

是吗？那你们打篮球了吗？打得怎么样？

Really? So did you two play? How did it go?

打了。她跑得很快，也很会打篮球。我没赢，她赢了。

We played. She runs fast, and she's really good at basketball. I didn't win, she did.

她才八岁，你怎么会赢不了她？

She's only eight. How could you not beat her?

我也不知道。她比我小，但是打篮球打得比我好，我怎么也赢不了她。

I don't know either. She's younger than me, but she plays basketball better than me. No matter what I did, I couldn't win.

打篮球没赢妹妹，你不高兴，我懂。今天还有什么事情吗？

You didn't beat your sister at basketball, so you're unhappy, I get it. Did anything else happen today?

对，还有一件事情。我在家写字，一个字写错了，怎么也写不对。

Yeah, one more thing. I was writing characters at home, and I got one wrong. No matter how I tried, I couldn't get it right.

写错字，谁帮你了？

You wrote it wrong. Who helped you?

奶奶帮了我。她小时候没有学校，但是我写错的那个字，她看了看，就告诉我怎么写对了。

My grandma helped me. She didn't have a school when she was young, but the character I got wrong, she looked at it and told me how to write it correctly.

奶奶小时候没有学校，还能教你写字，真有意思。你现在觉得，别人也能教你东西吗？

Grandma didn't have a school when she was young, and she can still teach you to write characters. That's really interesting. Do you think now that other people can teach you things too?

对，别人也能教我。妹妹教我打篮球，奶奶教我写字，她们两个都是我的老师。

Yes, other people can teach me. My sister taught me basketball, my grandma taught me to write, they're both my teachers.

孔子说，如果你和两个人一起走，一个人可能就是你的老师。

Confucius said, if you walk with two other people, one of them might be your teacher.

真的吗？孔子也这么说？

Really? Confucius said that too?

对，他的意思是，别人也有你可以学的东西。

Yes, his point is that other people always have something you can learn.

妹妹和奶奶，今天都是我的老师。

My sister and my grandma were both my teachers today.
