——I TIME I WRITE首届英语新闻写作大赛参赛稿件

Last Sunday our ZiQiang Community launched an activity called the Sun Charity Bazaar.

During the activity，I managed to sell out eight pieces of newspapers which I thought would be a good ranking among those who have engaged in the activity. However I didn’t do well and to my great surprise，I was nearly at the bottom of the ranking. And one person, who I considered would be the last one, turned out to be the first to break the record that set in our community of forty-eight shares of newspapers.

Thus it has been a most trying experience for me. Through the activity，I experience the hardships of making money and aware that my parents must have been through a lot . Each time I look back to when I spent a lot of money, I would feel guilty. So I hope everyone can learn something from my experience. Besides，I figure out that one shall never look down upon others, or you will fail badly. At the same time，you should hold on to it that there are always someone who are better than you even if you are the best.

译文：阳光义卖

就是在上个星期天，我们自强社发起了一个“阳光义卖”的活动。但对于我来说，这是一个很难堪的经历。

在活动进行中，我卖出了八份报纸，还沾沾自喜地以为自己将会在去的那些人当中有个好名次。但让我大吃一惊的是，我不仅不是去的那些人当中做得最好的一个，还差点儿垫底了。而其中一个我起先认为最不可能卖出六份报纸的人不仅卖出了最高的48份，还一举刷新了我们社团的纪录！

通过这次活动，我体验到了挣钱的辛苦以及理解到了我父母的艰辛。并且每次我一想起以往大花钱的场景，我就有一种愧疚感。因此我急切希望每个人能从我的经历中学到一点东西。此外，我明白了一个道理，那就是：绝不要轻视任何一个人，不然你会输得很惨。同时，你也应该明白这样一个道理：人外有人！
