原文及翻譯
Many of my friends have dyed their hair different colors. I don't mean normal hair colors like brown or black. my friends have dyed their hair orange, purple, and blue. I told my mother that I would like to dye my hair green. I explained to my mother that I would only use food coloring, the green would not last forever.
我的許多朋友都把頭發(fā)染成了不同的顏色。我指的不是棕色或黑色等普通的頭發(fā)顏色。我的朋友把頭發(fā)染成了橙色、紫色和藍(lán)色。我告訴媽媽我想把頭發(fā)染成綠色。我向媽媽解釋說我只會使用食用色素,綠色不會永遠(yuǎn)保持下去。
My mother said that dyeing your hair was a silly fad. She said that I would not look good with green hair. she said that if I couldn't dye my hair green, maybe I could get a nose ring. My mother said no. I said that maybe a tattoo on my arm would be nice. My mother said, "No way". My mother said that she did some crazy things when she was a young girl. She said that she used to iron her hair to make it straight. That sounds quite boring to me.
我媽媽說染發(fā)是一種愚蠢的時尚。她說我染綠頭發(fā)不好看。她說如果我不能把頭發(fā)染成綠色,也許我可以戴鼻環(huán)。我媽媽說不行。我說也許在手臂上紋身會很好看。我媽媽說:“沒門?!蔽覌寢屨f她小時候做過一些瘋狂的事情。她說她曾經(jīng)用熨斗把頭發(fā)熨直。這聽起來很無聊。
My friend Joan came over, her hair was dyed bright pink. My father said, "Nice hair Joan". I don't think that he really meant it. My mother says that when I am an adult, I can dye my hair whatever crazy color I like, but for now, she would like me to leave my hair its natural color. I tried to tell her that all my friends were doing it. my mother asked, "If all your friends were jumping off a cliff, would you do it too?" I said no.
我的朋友瓊過來了,她的頭發(fā)染成了亮粉色。我父親說:“瓊,頭發(fā)真漂亮?!蔽也徽J(rèn)為他真的是這個意思。我媽媽說,當(dāng)我成年時,我可以把頭發(fā)染成任何我喜歡的瘋狂顏色,但現(xiàn)在,她希望我的頭發(fā)保持自然色。我試著告訴她,我所有的朋友都在這樣做。我媽媽問:“如果你所有的朋友都跳下懸崖,你也會這么做嗎?”我說不。
I think I'll have to wait to have green hair. but, maybe by the time I'm old enough to dye my hair green, I won't want it that color. My mother says that fads change all the time. one day something might be popular, and the next day it's not in style at all. I'll just have to live without green hair for now. I wonder what the fad will be next month.
我想我得一直等直到我能染綠頭發(fā)了。但是,也許等我長大到可以把頭發(fā)染成綠色的時候,我就不會想要那個顏色了。我媽媽說時尚總是在變化。有一天某樣?xùn)|西可能很流行,但第二天它就根本不流行了。我現(xiàn)在只能過沒有綠色頭發(fā)的生活了。我想知道下個月的時尚是什么。
