We're so excited about this and eager to help kids develop a passion for reading we have a summer reading list which I think it's incredible we hope kids will love it, including a selection from beloved author Kate take a mellow from Mercy Watson to because of when Dixie and more than 25 others she's tapped into the hearts and minds of young readers everywhere and I recently caught up with her at our local kids bookstore books of wonder.

我們對此感到非常興奮，並渴望幫助孩子們培養閱讀的熱情，我們有一份暑期閱讀清單，我認為這是難以置信的，我們希望孩子們會喜歡它，其中包括深受喜愛的作家凱特的作品，從《慈悲的沃森》到《因為當迪克西》以及其他超過 25 部作品，她挖掘了各地小讀者的心靈和思想，我最近在當地的兒童書店 "奇書 "裡見到了她。

情態助動詞 A2

Kate, I'm so thrilled to be sitting across from you, I'm a longtime admirer of your work how do you feel like you could observe the world through the eyes of these kids.

凱特，我很高興能坐在你的對面，我是你作品的長期崇拜者，你是如何通過這些孩子的眼睛觀察世界的？

I feel like that's part of my job is to show up with my whole self and my whole self is joyful hopeful and broken hearted I put all of that in there because I remember what it was like as an 8 year-old children's book author Kate day Camillo's own childhood reads like the start of a grim fairytale for years she endured chronic pneumonia.

我覺得這是我工作的一部分，我的工作就是帶著完整的自我出現，而我的完整自我是快樂的、充滿希望的、心碎的。我把這些都寫進去，是因為我還記得作為一個 8 歲的童書作家凱特-日-卡米洛的童年是什麼樣子，她的童年就像一個殘酷童話的開頭，多年來她一直忍受著慢性肺炎的折磨。

I would be home and sick and so I learned to live in books, I learned to live in my imagination.

我會在家生病，於是我學會了生活在書本里，學會了生活在想象中。

With Kate's health in mind her mother moved the family to Florida, her father remained behind.

考慮到凱特的健康，她的母親舉家搬到了佛羅里達，她的父親留了下來。

My father leaving that is the heartbreak that I think that I that's how I can connect to kids now because of that early loss, it puts a longing in place and that longing is what I tap into everybody's heartbroken in one way or another and we forget that.

我父親的離開讓我心碎，我想這就是我現在能與孩子們溝通的原因，因為早年的失去，讓我產生了一種渴望，而這種渴望正是我所挖掘的，每個人都會以這樣或那樣的方式心碎，而我們卻忘記了這一點。

After college Kate spent 10 years calling herself a writer without ever lifting a pen.

大學畢業後，凱特花了 10 年時間自稱作家，卻從未動過筆。

I turned 30 and I thought wow I could like literally spend the rest of my life talking about this thing that I say that I want to do not doing it so I started to write do you want to guess how many rejection letters I got.

我到了 30 歲，我想，哇，我真的可以用我的餘生來談論我說我想做的這件事，而不是去做它，所以我開始寫作，你想猜猜我收到了多少封退稿信嗎？

Over the next 6 years Kate sent her work out into the world, the world didn't notice that she persevered 5050.

在接下來的 6 年裡，凱特將她的作品推向世界，世界並沒有注意到她堅持了 5050 次。

I remember thinking this is what I'm supposed to be doing.

我記得當時我在想，這才是我應該做的。

She tacked each rejection on to a wall and there were plenty. 473.

她把每一份拒絕都貼在牆上，而且數量很多。473.

Why would you keep them so you can see them they motivate you.

你為什麼要留著它們，這樣你就能看到它們，它們會激勵你。

They did people think okay, this is something I'm supposed to do therefore it should be easy for me and so you sit down in front of the blank page and it's really hard and a lot of people just get up and don't come back to it right, but you have to be patient with yourself and patient with the world a little book called because of when Dixie had been lost in a pile of the publishers when someone happened upon it you could never have expected the success of that but Jenna no, I mean for a middle grade novel from a first-time author.

人們認為好吧，這是我應該做的事情，是以對我來說應該很容易，所以你坐在空白頁前，這真的很難，很多人只是站起來，不回來了吧，但你必須對自己有耐心，對世界有耐心，因為當迪克西已經丟失在一堆出版商的小書，當有人偶然發現它，你可能從來沒有預料到的成功，但詹娜沒有，我的意思是中年級小說的首次作者。

If I was really really lucky I would sell 5,000 copies I was in no way prepared for what happened.

如果我真的非常幸運的話，我會賣出 5000 冊。

Kate's first book sold over 11 million copies. 2 decades and over 25 books later, many of which have been adapted for screen and stage Kate's still in.

凱特的第一本書銷量超過 1100 萬冊。20 年過去了，凱特寫了超過 25 本書，其中許多被改編成電影和舞臺劇。

What makes me feel kind of dizzy to think about it, the wonder of it never goes away and I can't get over it and I think never let me take this for granted so 43 million books in France.

一想到這些，我就感到頭暈目眩，這種奇妙的感覺從未消失過，我無法忘懷，我想永遠不要讓我認為這是理所當然的，法國有 4 300 萬本書。

You've won 2 new berries and opera based on one of your books you have movies based on your books but what gives you the most satisfaction.

你已經贏得了兩部新的漿果和歌劇，這些都是根據你的一本書改編的，你還有根據你的書改編的電影，但什麼能讓你最滿意？

That's the most exciting thing to connect with the readers I say this to kids it's like we have this connection you never meet me if we never talk if you never write me a letter.

與讀者建立聯繫是最令人興奮的事情，我對孩子們說過，就像我們有這種聯繫一樣，如果你從未見過我，如果我們從未交談過，如果你從未給我寫過一封信。

You can still find me in a book and I can find you in a book and that's the miraculous thing about storytelling that's why I feel like I know you.

你仍能在書中找到我，我也能在書中找到你，這就是講故事的神奇之處，也是我覺得我瞭解你的原因。

Wow, I'm in love with you know you read all those.

哇，我愛上你了，你知道你讀過所有這些書。

We Dixie also I'm really excited because the Ramey Nightingale series is on the list, but we have a list for all sorts of all ages, I recommend a book for all of your kids even for you.

我們迪克西也讓我非常興奮，因為拉米-南丁格爾系列也在書單上，但我們有一份適合各種年齡段的書單，我推薦給所有孩子甚至是你的孩子一本書。

If this is a book list that I think kids will gravitate towards but it's really important you guys kids that read during the summer.

如果這是一份我認為孩子們會喜歡的書單，但孩子們在暑期閱讀真的很重要。

Yeah, come to school prepared and September.

Yeah, so great to your kids read these folks you tell my kids that right now, but Kate is incredible, I'm in love with her.

是啊，讓你的孩子們讀這些人的書真是太棒了，你現在就可以告訴我的孩子們，凱特真是不可思議，我愛上她了。
