I am Mei Ling (1) 再次更新

同博们，我的I am Mei Ling (1) 又全部更新了。最近一段时间，我又对它进行了多次的修改。一个重大的改动的地方，是我让Mei Ling长了一岁，从kindergarten 变成了grade one的学生，如Mei Ling只要六岁的话，显得有点太聪明了，现在我让她是七岁。另一个重大改动的地方，是有一些比较难的词、小孩可能不知道的词，我放弃不用，改用其它的词。考虑到二、四行压韵和每一段四行的音节syllable数要相同或相近，词的选则上受限制较大。

举几个修改的例子，

(79) (old)

It was my very second day

In Canada, with Mom and Dad.

When I woke up in the basement,

I felt inexplicably bad.

Inexplicably 一词较抽象，以前之所以选用它，是因为它有5个音节，in·ex·pli·ca·ble，四句话的音节数就都是8。这次，我把它换掉了。

We quickly walked out of the dark room.

A baby murmur, I clearly heard.

I knew there was a small baby here.

Last night, a baby's crying occurred.

以前为了和heard压韵选用了Occurred一词，但此词小孩不大用。

Unexpectedly, she fell down.

Mom and I stood worryingly.

The baby slowly stood up and

Even came happily to me.

Worryingly和me虽然压韵，但不理想。

At long last, the snow stopped.

A minute, I couldn't wait.

The big dog slowly got up,

Swaggeringly, coming to me.

I was so terrified that

At once, I started to flee.

Swaggeringly一词，我很喜欢，放在这里很形象、生动。但小孩不大用它，只好忍痛放弃了。

The dog's tail impatiantly shook.

He slowly stood, coming to me.

I was so terrified that

At once, I started to flee.
