A few years ago, when my family moved to this city, I became interested in soap-box race .That's when I discovered that“it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it.”
Dad bought a set of tools to make a racing car for me. I just couldn't wait, and one day, while Dad was at work, I decided to have my car going. I looked at the drawings, and I said to myself,“Dude, you can do this.”I got out Dad's tool box, and I started building. Part A fit into Part B. Part C was a little harder to connect to Part D. It was easy to fix Part E. By the time I got to Part G. I'd made a real mess(混乱) of things. I really regret having done such a silly thing.
What did I learn from this experience? Now I know that before I start something, I should know how to finish it.
【汉语翻译】
我做了一件傻事
几年前，我们搬到这座城市时，我对肥皂(soap)箱(box)赛车比赛(race)产生了兴趣。就是在那时我发现(discover)了“开始做某件事要比完成它容易地多(far easier)”（即“开始容易结束难”）的道理。
爸爸买了一套工具（A setof tools）要给我做一辆赛车(racing car)。我是急不可耐，然后有一天，爸爸在上班(be at work)时，我决定让我的小车转起来。我看着图纸(drawing)。对自己说，“都德，你可以做到。”我拿出了爸爸的工具箱，接着就开始造车了。零件A适合(fit)零件B。零件C连接(connect)到零件D就有点难度。零件E很容易安装(fix)。到我开始零件G时，我已经把事情弄的一团糟。我真的后悔(regret)做了这么一件傻(silly)事。
这次经历(experience)让我学到了什么呢？现在我知道了在我开始做某事之前，我应该知道该如何完成它。
