英语翻译
I was a single parent of four small children,working at a low-paid job.Money was always tight,but we had a roof over our heads,food on the table,clothes on our backs,and if not a lot,always enough.Not knowing we were poor,my kids just thought I was kind.I live always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time,and although there wasn’t money for a lot of gifts,we planned to celebrate with a family party.But the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas parties .
They planned weeks ahead of time,asking one by one what they wanted for Christmas.Fortunately,I had saved $120 for bills to share by all five of us.
The big day arrived.I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and invited them to look for gifts of about four dollars each.Then everyone scattered(散开).We had two hours to shop; then we would meet back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home,everyone was in high Christmas spirits,including my younger daughter,Ginger,who was unusually excited .She had only one small,flat bag with a few candies — fifty-cent candies!I was so angry,but I didn’t say anything after we got home.I called her into my bedroom and closed the door,ready to be angry again.This is what she told me.
“I was looking around thinking of what to buy,and I stopped to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl,four years old,and all she wanted for Christmas was a doll.So I took the card off the tree and bought the doll for her.We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
I never felt so rich as I did that day.

答案和解析
我是四个单亲小孩的的家长,有一份低薪的工作.钱(对于我们来说)非常的紧张,但是我们仍然有栖生之处,在桌子上有食物,我们身上有衣服穿,并不是很多,但是总足够了.我的孩子们并不知道我们很贫穷,他们只是认为我很温和.我对我的生活感到很满意.
圣诞节的时候,即使没有买礼物的钱,我仍然计划着开一个晚会和家人一起庆祝圣诞的到来.但对于孩子们来说,圣诞晚会上的乐趣是最让他们激动地事.
他们在这之前准备了几个星期,他们相互问着他们自己圣诞节想要什么.幸运的是,我存了120美元用来我们5个人的消费.
这个大日子(圣诞节)到来了.我给了每个孩子20美元并带领他们去找一份自己心仪的4美元的礼物.然后他们就走开了(去找自己的礼物).我们有2个小时的时间来购物,然后我们在santa's workshop碰面.
在开车回家的路上,每个人都沉浸在圣诞节欢乐地气氛中,包括我最小的女儿ginger,她通常都很平静.她只有一样礼物--一个普通袋子中的一些糖果--50美分的糖果.我很生气,但是我没说什么直到我们到家.我叫她来我的卧室顺便关上门,怒火又一次涌上心头.这是她告诉我的.
“我在四处的看并想着买什么,我停在了giving trees读着小小的卡片.有一张是给一个四岁的小女孩的,你圣诞节想要的礼物只是一个洋娃娃.所以我将卡片放回了树下并带给了她一个洋娃娃.我们拥有如此之多的东西但是他什么都没有.”
我那天所做使我感到我竟然如此富有.

咳咳.. 毕竟我也就一个高一的学生 别的我的翻译能力要求太高了.. 很辛苦的!
