1. It was my responsibility to her activities. It would be wrong of me not to.
检查她的言行举止是我的责任。如果尽不到义务，才是我的失误。
2. She admired me for my personality, my achievements and, my integrity.
她钦佩我的个性、我的成就，更具讽刺意味的是，还有我的正直。
3. Reading the earnest words my sister had written seemed to melt an icy barrier
around my heart, and I know her again.
看了妹妹日记中诚挚的语言后，裹在我心上的冰已经慢慢融化，我要重
新去了解她。
4. I was finally able to the petty insecurity that kept me from her.
最终，我抛弃了那种不信任，正是它造成了我们之间的隔阂。
哥哥的心愿
The Wish of Brother

A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it.
“Is this your car, Mister?” he said.
Paul nodded, “My brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was astounded, “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you anything? Boy, I wish …” He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.
