Sally was very excited because she had never travelled on a train before. She sat near the window and asked questions about everything she saw. Suddenly, a middle-age lady got on the train and sat opposite Sally. ”Hello, little girl,” she said. Sally did not answer, but looked at her curiously. The lady was dressed in a blue coat and a large, funny hat. After the train had left the station, the lady opened her handbag and took to her power compact. She then began to make up her face. ”Why are you doing that?” Sally asked. ”To make myself beautiful,” the lady answered. She put away her compact and smiled kindly. ”But you are still ugly,” Sally said. Sally was amused, but I was very embarrassed!　　New Word and expressions 生词和短语　　excited　　adj. 兴奋的　　get on　　登上　　middle-aged　　adj. 中年的　　opposite　　prep.在……对面　　curiously　　adv.奇怪地　　funny　　adj. 可笑的，滑稽的　　powder　　n. 香粉　　compact　　n. 带镜的化装盒　　kindly　　adv. 和气地　　ugly　　adj. 丑陋的　　amused　　adj. 好玩的　　smile　　v. 微笑　　embarrassed　　adj. 为难　　参考译文　　上周，我4岁的女儿萨莉被邀请去参与一个儿童聚会。
