Boston really loves ice cream! For example, the new Museum of Ice Cream just opened at the Seaport. My first job was to scoop (挖) ice cream at the Concord Centre. It was a 1 job for someone who is crazy about ice cream. Wearing the white polo shirt uniform, I was full of joy 2 the two miles from my home on that first hot summer day.
The first customer (顾客) was a boy with a Museum of Ice Cream map. “Lemon chip cone (甜筒), please!” he spoke happily. You see, lemon chip was among the most popular 3 .
I 4 found that the top of the freezer (冰柜) was empty. My smile froze. Just shy of my 5 , I couldn’t reach the bottom (底部) while standing up. This little boy would be watching a 6 that would be repeated many times an hour. I would put my head first into the freezer, feet waving in the air, trying not to lose my 7 and fall in. But sometimes I’d fall in.
By day’s end, I’d bike home, white polo shirt 8 with colourful marks from a hard day’s work, arms with too many cones. But Friday afternoons got me so 9 ! With my 45 from work—enough for two museum tickets—I’d race to the Museum of Ice Cream.
I felt this was teaching me something important, but I wasn’t sure what. When I bit into my weekly 10 —lemon chip, of course—I tasted something better: the sweetness of hot summers, cold freezers, and a girl who kept reaching even when the ice cream seemed too far.

波士顿人真的很喜欢冰淇淋!例如,新的冰淇淋博物馆刚刚在海港开放。我的第一份工作是在康科德中心挖冰淇淋。对于一个痴迷于冰淇淋的人来说,这是一份梦寐以求的工作。在第一个炎热的夏日,我穿着白色的马球衫制服,满心欢喜地骑行两英里从家来到这里。
第一位顾客是一个拿着冰淇淋博物馆地图的男孩。“请给我一个柠檬片甜筒!”他开心地说道。要知道,柠檬片口味是最受欢迎的口味之一。
我突然发现冰柜的上层空了。我的笑容僵住了。我的身高差一点,站着的时候够不到冰柜底部。这个小男孩将会看到一个每小时都会重复很多次的场景。我会先把头伸进冰柜,双脚在空中挥舞,努力保持平衡以免摔倒进去。但有时候我还是会摔进去。
一天结束时,我会骑自行车回家,白色的马球衫上满是一天辛苦工作留下的彩色痕迹,手臂上也拿着太多的甜筒。但周五下午让我非常兴奋!拿着我45美元的工资——足够买两张博物馆门票了——我会飞奔到冰淇淋博物馆。
我觉得这教会了我一些重要的东西,但我不确定是什么。当我咬下我每周的美食——当然是柠檬片口味的冰淇淋时——我尝到了更美好的东西:炎热夏日的甜蜜、冰冷的冰柜,还有一个即使冰淇淋看起来遥不可及也不断去够的女孩。
