We ordered one large pizza with eight slices. There were five of us at the table: Ada, Sam, Ravi, me, and my little sister Nina, who had invited herself.
我们点了一个大披萨，一共八块。桌边有五个人：艾达、萨姆、拉维、我，还有自己不请自来的小妹妹妮娜。
The box arrived warm and heavy. Nina counted the slices twice. 'Eight,' she announced. 'That is not enough,' said Sam. 'It is if we are fair,' said Ada, and she looked at me.
盒子送到时又热又沉。妮娜数了两遍。“八块。”她宣布。“这不够。”萨姆说。“只要公平就够。”艾达说，然后看了看我。
We tried to be fair. Each person got one slice, which left three. Nina ate one quickly and reached for another. Ravi said he was not very hungry. Sam said he was very hungry.
我们想做到公平。每人一块，还剩三块。妮娜很快吃完一块，又伸手去拿。拉维说他不怎么饿。萨姆说他非常饿。
Ada cut the last two slices into small pieces. It looked silly, but everyone laughed. Then Nina pushed her plate toward the middle. 'We can share mine too,' she said, with cheese on her chin.
艾达把最后两块切成小片。看起来有点傻，但大家都笑了。然后妮娜把她的盘子推向中间。“我的也可以分。”她说，下巴上还沾着奶酪。
We were still hungry. So we counted our coins on the table: enough for a small pizza, not a large one. Ada went out and came back with a box and a paper bag of apples.
我们还是饿。于是我们把桌上的硬币数了数：够买一个小披萨，不够买大的。艾达出门，回来时拿着一个盒子和一纸袋苹果。
We ate the small pizza and cut the apples into five parts. It was not the dinner we planned, but nobody complained. Nina fell asleep against my arm, and Sam whispered that sharing made the food taste better. I think he was right.
我们吃了小披萨，把苹果切成五份。这不是我们计划好的晚饭，但没有人抱怨。妮娜靠在我胳膊上睡着了，萨姆小声说，分享让食物更好吃。我想他是对的。
