2013年高考英语浙江卷完型填空翻译:
去年春天,我有幸被选中加入交换生项目。在申请信中,我谨慎地地表达了自己愿意去法国的想法。很显然,我的激动之情赫然呈现于信件的字里行间。当我知道我要去法国时,我能想到的就都是异国之旅的乐趣和交各种有趣的新朋友。虽然旅行是令人振奋,交友是激动人心,但我在法国的其他情况完全不是我所想象的。
我到达巴黎的时候,一对友善的法国夫妻来接我,他们就是我后来的的寄宿监护人。我的整个旅程都是快乐而令人激动的,直到我从项目协调人那里得知一个令人震惊的消息:我的寄宿监护人大家族中有人去世了,所以他们要离开法国几个星期。那天下午,我不得不搬出来到另外一个家庭去住。那个交换生协调员说这次我要和别人共居一室,还问我是否愿意与说英语的同学一起住。为了避免说母语,我要求不要把我安置在也是讲英语的室友的房间里。到达房间时,我向保罗—来自巴西与我年龄一样大的新室友—介绍了我自己,我惊讶地发现,他正在玩我最喜欢玩的光盘游戏。几个小时之内,我们就知道在法国剩下的日子里我们将成为好朋友。
带着很多故事,我离开了法国。后来当有人问我这趟旅行中最精彩的片段是什么的时候,他们对我谈到的巴西朋友保罗以及我们同度过的那么多美好岁月表示惊讶:在班上的学习时光、在镇上度过的夜晚,以及探索法国的那些周末。人们看起来是多么不同,但最终却又如此相似,我喜欢这个变化的过程。在法国学习期间,我最宝贵的经验不是仅仅去尊重法国人,而是去尊重所有人,因为你下一个最好的朋友很可能就是在大洋彼岸。我会向每一位想体验国外文化、想寻求美好友谊的朋友们推荐交换生项目。
