重庆市巴蜀中学校2023-2024学年高三上学期高考适应性月考卷
实现儿时梦想
It was my sixth-grade year. I was overjoyed when the U. S. Navy band came to perform in our town. It was an event I'd never forget, and one instrument stood out above all others. That day, at 12 years old, I fell in love with the heavenly sound that came from the trumpets (小号),and a dream was born. Someday, I wanted to join a military band onstage as a guest performer.
那是我六年级那年。当美国海军乐队来到我们镇上演出时，我欣喜若狂。这是我永远不会忘记的一件事，有一种乐器在所有乐器中脱颖而出。那一天，12岁的我爱上了从小号传来的天籁之声，一个梦想就此诞生。有一天，我想加入一个军乐队，在舞台上担任客座演奏员。
My father took notice of my enthusiasm and bought me a used trumpet. I practiced every day, training my lips, mastering my breathing, until I felt at one with the instrument. I made fir
st chair and played trumpet through high school. “Someday I'll play along with a military band,” I told my friends. The details I left to God to figure out, while I pursued a more practical life course. Rather than declaring a performance major in college, I studied to be a music teacher.我父亲注意到了我的热情，给我买了一个二手小号。我每天都在练习，训练我的嘴唇，掌握我的呼吸，直到我觉得与乐器融为一体。我做了首席，整个高中都在吹小号。“有一天我会和军乐队一起演奏，”我告诉我的朋友们。我把这些细节留给上帝去解决，而我则追求更实际的生活。我没有在大学里选择表演专业，而是学习成为一名音乐老师。
Now I was blessed to be at this military band concert, a magic afternoon that had brought with it a trip down memory lane.
我很幸运能参加军乐队的音乐会，这是一个神奇的下午，它把我带回了一段回忆之旅。
After the concert, I made my way to the stage to thank Colonel (上校) Carino, the conductor of the military band. When he learned I taught music in town and played trumpet, he invited me to play a trumpet solo(独奏) at their next concert in the park.
音乐会结束后，我走上舞台向军乐团指挥卡里诺上校致谢。当他知道我在镇上教音乐和吹小号时，他邀请我在公园的下一次音乐会上演奏小号独奏。A solo? I couldn't remember the last time I'd taken my trumpet out of its case. I doubted I'd even be able to get a decent note out of it. “Sir, that's impossible. I'm sorry, but there's no way.”“In the Army,” the colonel thundered, “you don't say no!”
一个人？我不记得上次把小号从盒子里拿出来是什么时候了。我甚至怀疑我是否能从中得到一个像样的音符。“先生，这不可能。很抱歉，但是没有办法。“在军队里，”上校怒喝道，“你不许说不！”
I felt scared and trapped. Yet, a lingering thought took root: “Is it possible that life is opening the door to my childhood dream?” I said yes to the invitation. I knew I had to do my part and practiced for hours every day. My lips swelled and then bled.
我感到害怕和被困住了。然而，一个挥之不去的想法却生根发芽了，那就是——“有没有可能，生活正在打开我童年梦想的大门？”我答应了邀请。我知道我必须做好自己的本分，每天都练习好几个小时的时间。我的嘴唇肿了起来，然后流血了。
