[p=30, 2, left][color=red][b]:qq77] Please read the article carefully,then translate the red sentences or write down your feelings to gain the score. If you have any questions, write them down immediately. I will do my best to answer.[/b][/color][/p]I have been abroad to attend meetings of cultural exchanges. Once I chanced on a very beautiful dress and spent a lot of money for it. I liked it so much that I begrudged wearing it. As a result of being rarely used it gradually fell into obvilion.[color=red] Not until a change of season made me tidy up my wardrobe with the help of my family members did it appear and remind me of its existence.[/color] It had been so well kept from washing and sunning that it looked brandnew and well ironed, but its style was rather out of fashion now. Embarrassed and reproachful of myself, I could do nothing but wrap it carefully to place it again at the bottom of the wardrobe. Recalling how happy I was when I first got it I couldn't help sighing I'd missed enjoying it all together.
[color=red]When I was very, very young, there was someone I was really fond of.[/color] [color=red]Anything about him, no matter how trivial it was, whether a frown or a smile, would stir my feelings so much that I felt I had a great deal to express and sing.[/color] But as a girl I couldn't bring myself to do so. I had to keep it to myself, neatly fold it and carefully bury it deep in my heart, fancying someday when I had enough courage to open my heart without reservation in his presence. I was thus waiting and waiting until finally this sentiment died out as if it were a seed decaying in airtight soil without any benefit of the sun or rain.
Anything in one's life has a period of keeping fresh. Nice aspiration, if only placed solemnly on the table of ideal to worship, will end up being buried in dust by time.
[color=red] If we become aware of the bitterness that we taste now, we should treasure the happiness brought to us by the clothes we are wearing and the people around us.[/color]

Should "fell into obvilion" be "fell into oblivion" in the fourth sentence of the first paragraph?
