Abel had one photo to send to the school contest. The deadline was Friday. He had two good choices.
阿贝尔只能给学校的比赛交一张照片。截止日期是星期五。他有两个不错的选择。
The first photo showed a sunset over the river. The sky was orange and pink, and every line was sharp. It took him an hour on the cold bridge. His art teacher said it was the best photo in the class.
第一张照片拍的是河上的日落。天空一片橙红和粉红，每一条线条都很清晰。他在寒冷的桥上站了一个小时才拍成。他的美术老师说，这是班上最好的一张照片。
The second photo was not sharp at all. It showed his grandmother at a family dinner. She laughed with her hand on the table. The picture was blurry. Abel took it by accident when his uncle told a joke.
第二张照片一点也不清晰。拍的是他奶奶在家庭聚餐时的样子，她一手按着桌子，哈哈大笑。照片是模糊的，是他叔叔讲笑话时他不小心拍下的。
His sister sat next to him. He put the two photos on his screen. He looked at them for a long time.
他的妹妹坐在他旁边。他把两张照片放在屏幕上，看了很久。
"The sunset is perfect," he said to his sister. "It can win."
“日落完美无缺，”他对妹妹说，“它能赢。”
"Maybe," she said. "But a lot of people take sunsets."
“也许吧，”她说，“可是拍日落的人很多。”
Abel looked at the blurry photo again. He remembered the noise at the table. He remembered the smell of rice and fish. In normal photos, his grandmother always stood very still. In this one, she was really herself.
阿贝尔又看了看那张模糊的照片。他想起了饭桌上的喧闹，想起了米饭和鱼的香味。在普通的照片里，奶奶总是一动不动地站着。而这一张里，她就是真正的她自己。
"Nobody else has this one," he said.
“别人没有这一张，”他说。
His sister nodded. "Grandma is going to love it."
妹妹点点头。“奶奶会很喜欢的。”
Abel chose the blurry photo. He wrote a short title: "Sunday Dinner." Then he pressed send. He also printed a copy for his grandmother.
阿贝尔选了那张模糊的照片。他写了一个简短的标题：“周日晚餐”。然后他按下了发送键。他还给奶奶打印了一张。
