学校要举办话剧表演，老师让我演《小红帽》里的小红帽。
xué xiào yào jǔ bàn huà jù biǎo yǎn lǎo shī ràng wǒ yǎn Xiǎo Hóng Mào lǐ de Xiǎo Hóng Mào
Our school was putting on a play, and the teacher gave me the part of Little Red Riding Hood.
我每天在家对着镜子练习台词，把每一句都背得滚瓜烂熟。
wǒ měi tiān zài jiā duì zhe jìng zi liàn xí tái cí bǎ měi yí jù dōu bèi de gǔn guā làn shú
Every day I practised my lines at home in front of the mirror, until I knew every one by heart.
演出那天，台下坐满了同学和家长，我的心怦怦直跳。
yǎn chū nà tiān tái xià zuò mǎn le tóng xué hé jiā zhǎng wǒ de xīn pēng pēng zhí tiào
On the day of the show, the hall was full of classmates and parents, and my heart was pounding.
轮到我说台词的时候，我的脑子突然一片空白，一个字也想不起来。
lún dào wǒ shuō tái cí de shí hou wǒ de nǎo zi tū rán yí piàn kōng bái yí gè zì yě xiǎng bu qǐ lái
When it was my turn to speak, my mind suddenly went blank. I couldn't remember a single word.
这时，躲在幕布后面的小华小声地提醒我：“外婆，你的耳朵怎么这么大？”
zhè shí duǒ zài mù bù hòu miàn de Xiǎo Huá xiǎo shēng de tí xǐng wǒ wài pó nǐ de ěr duo zěn me zhè me dà
Just then, Xiaohua, hiding behind the curtain, whispered my line to me: “Grandma, why are your ears so big?”
我一下子想起来了，大声地把台词说了出来，接下来越演越顺利。
wǒ yí xià zi xiǎng qǐ lái le dà shēng de bǎ tái cí shuō le chū lái jiē xià lái yuè yǎn yuè shùn lì
It all came back to me at once. I said my line loudly, and after that the play went more and more smoothly.
演出结束的时候，台下响起了热烈的掌声，大家都向我们竖起大拇指。
yǎn chū jié shù de shí hou tái xià xiǎng qǐ le rè liè de zhǎng shēng dà jiā dōu xiàng wǒ men shù qǐ dà mǔ zhǐ
When the show ended, the audience burst into warm applause, and everyone gave us a thumbs-up.
我紧紧地握着小华的手说：“谢谢你！没有你，我就演不下去了。”
wǒ jǐn jǐn de wò zhe Xiǎo Huá de shǒu shuō xiè xie nǐ méi yǒu nǐ wǒ jiù yǎn bu xià qù le
I held Xiaohua's hand tightly and said, “Thank you! Without you, I couldn't have carried on.”
