Hint:
Mrs. Catherine
They stripped off their clothing and jumped in the water tom around the buoy she had just noticed. Soon her beautiful lawn resembled an abandoned campsite with cans thrown everywhere. She looked up at the calendar and moaned: it was Spring Break. As she looked at the buoyant children on the water, the crowd in her lawn burgeoned into a regular party. She had never taken into her calculations that other people might like the peacefulness of her new bungalow at all. But she decided to play along, got hermsuit on, and went out and joined the party. Soon guests and new friends were going in and out of her home and Mrs. Catherine was happier than ever. A by-product of her good sportsmanship and friendliness was that her name became the buzzword formming at this location.
他們脫下衣服跳進水中,圍著她先前注意到的那個救生圈游起泳來。不一會兒,她那漂亮的草坪就像是一個到處扔滿飲料罐、被遺棄了的營地。她抬頭一看日歷,悲嘆道:原來學生放春假了。在她看著水上快樂的孩子們的時候,她家草坪上的人群已經(jīng)迅速發(fā)展成了一個標準聚會。她可從來沒估計到其他人也有可能喜歡她這所新居的寧靜。但她還是決定和他們一起玩,她換上泳裝,走出家門,加入了聚會。很快客人們和新朋友們就在她家進進出出了。凱瑟琳太太還從來沒有這樣高興過。她具有良好的運動員素質(zhì),而且為人友善,這給她帶來了一個意外的結果,那就是她的名字在那兒成了代替“游泳”的時髦詞兒。
