【Aiden in English】

        At last the tragic day arrives! Just as I began to get used the vacation and no responsibility whatsoever, it winds down from my 9-week long summer camps. Now, the school awaits in four short days. So at the very moment, the GHCS Summer Camp went out with a bang. Since today is Friday (Woohoo!) before Labor Day weekend, there would be a tournament a whole day long.

        The tournament was basically two teams competing for points by answering questions about Chinese history and cultures or participating in events. Personally, I liked Chinese Yo-Yo. However, everyone preferred the Chinese chess to anything else simply because they could actually play, unlike when they did the Yo-Yo, where you had it flying around the room. I came out as the winner, particularly because I was lucky enough not to get hit by flying Yo-Yo.

        Today was awesome with fun after fun. Surprisingly, for such a tragic day, today was AMAZING!

【紅霞譯文】

        悲慘時刻終於來臨﹗而我剛剛適應沉浸於飽食終日無所用心之中，一連九周之久的夏令營生活嘎然輒止。如今距離學校開學僅剩下四天光景，此時恰值勞工節長周末前最後一個星期五(嗚乎哀哉﹗)，賓州光華中文學校夏令營緊鑼密鼓，賽事正酣。

        本次對抗賽大致分為兩個隊，以回答有關中國歷史文化問題或參加活動的方式來決定名次。就我個人來看，抖空竹最棒﹔而其他營員則偏愛中國象棋，原因很簡單，因為中國象棋人人能夠上手，不及抖空竹在教室內上下翻騰。我運氣好，終因未被飛轉的空竹打着自己而名列榜首。

        今天算是酷翻了，精彩迭出樂趣無窮，這麼過一個“淒楚”日子，實在超乎我們的想像之外。
