在校园里我遇见了一个十一年级叫Tamika的女孩,她背着重重的书包,穿一件厚厚的棉上衣,满脸的忧郁,和我同一个方向走出校园。她告诉我她今年16岁了,下课后,立刻就去打工。她每天工作3小时,每小时挣7美元。我看她很愿意和我聊,就告诉她,我是中国记者,正在写一本有关美国中学生生 On the campus, I met an 11-year-old girl named Tamika. She was carrying a heavy schoolbag, wearing a thick cotton blouse, and melancholy on the face, and walked out of the school campus in the same direction as me. She told me that she was 16 years old and went to work immediately after class. She works 3 hours a day and earns $7 an hour. I think she is willing to talk to me and tell her that I am a Chinese journalist and I am writing a book about American middle school students
