I don't remember exactly what grade I was in when it happened. 我不记得那件事情发生的时候自己在上几年级了 All I remember is that suddenly Math was no longer fun. 我只记得，数学课不再那么有趣了 Since the first grade I had always loved Math. 然而，从一年级起，我曾一直都很喜欢数学 I was a wiz at adding and subtracting . 做起加减法，我简直是个睿智的巫师 I got 100 percent on almost every paper I did. 几乎每次考试我都会得一百分 All at once, though, 可是，仿佛是忽然之间 we were doing something called multiplication 我们开始学习那种叫做“乘法”的东西 and I was no good at it. 对此我却很不在行 I struggled on my first few worksheets 最初的几次作业我都做得很艰难 until the teacher gave us each a card. 后来，我们老师给我们每人分发了一张卡片 On it were written the multiplication tables. 上面写着乘法表 I stared at them and smiled. 我看着那些表格，笑了起来。 Here were all the answers I needed. 这就是我需要的全部答案。 I read them over and over 我一遍一遍的诵读那些算式 |
