英语原文

My mom was big on garage sales and wouldn't miss a Saturday to get me out of my deep slumber to go along with her. My neighbors were having their annual garage sale along with three other families. My mom caught a glimpse of the 3-foot porcelain doll before I did. She decided to purchase it for me, since at the time, I was a doll collector. I had never owned such a beautiful masterpiece.

　　She stood tall, showing an air of confidence. Her dark, human like hair, hung in loose curls around her almost angelic face. The attire consisted of a formal evening gown, immaculate in detail. The dark material formed nicely around the torso, and flared out from the waist down into a full skirt of deep green velvet trimmed with fine lace. I was ecstatic with the new edition to my collection and spent the remainder of the day showing her off to my friends.

　　I went to bed that night feeling contentment. I set the doll, which I had named Sarah, onto the shelf alongside of my other possessions. I turned off the light, and fell asleep almost instantly. It seemed only a couple of minutes, when I was awakened by a voice singing. It was a high soprano voice, almost like a voice of an angel. It was singing some kind of a lullaby...a lullaby that a mother would sing to her newborn child. I sat up straight in my bed, not sure where the voice was coming from.

　　妈妈很喜欢在旧货市场买东西，每个周六早晨，她都会把我从美梦中叫醒和她一起去逛旧货市场。我们的邻居正和另外三个家庭进行他们一年一度的旧货出售活动。妈妈先于我看到了一个3英尺高的瓷娃娃。她决定给我买那个娃娃，因为当时我正在收集各式玩偶。我还没有像这么漂亮的娃娃呢。

　　她身型较高，感觉很自信。她乌黑的如同真人般的卷发垂在天使般的面庞边。她的衣服是一套正式的晚装，细节做得很漂亮。深色衣料贴合得裹着上半身，腰部以下是带着漂亮蕾丝花边的深绿色天鹅绒裙子。我为这个新的收藏品而着迷，那天剩下的时间我就一直拿着它向朋友们炫耀。

　　当晚我倍感满足的上床睡觉。我给娃娃取名莎拉，把它和我其他的收藏品一起放在架子上。我关了灯很快就进入梦香。几分钟后，我就被一阵歌声吵醒。是女高音，听着就像天使的声音似的。它唱的是摇篮曲，是那种妈妈唱给新生婴儿的摇篮曲。我从床上坐起来，不确定声音是从哪传来的。
