我和哥哥不比了,现在他教我跑步。
My brother and I stopped comparing — now he teaches me to run.
每天早上,我们从家跑到公园。
Every morning, we run from home to the park.
一开始,我跑得没有哥哥快。
At first, I couldn't run as fast as my brother.
我说:“我不想跑了!”
I said, "I don't want to run anymore!"
哥哥说:“你没有我快,可是你比上个星期快了。”
My brother said, "You're not as fast as me, but you're faster than last week."
我听了,又开始跑。
When I heard that, I started running again.
一个月后,我可以从家跑到公园,不用停。
A month later, I could run from home to the park without stopping.
哥哥说:“现在你跑得不慢了!”
My brother said, "You're not slow anymore!"
我笑着说:“可是你做的菜还是没有我的好吃!”
I laughed and said, "But your cooking still isn't as tasty as mine!"
哥哥说:“等着吧,星期六你就知道了。”
My brother said, "Just wait — on Saturday you'll see."
