   An Apple
  In the childhood we lived in the countryside and the life then was very hard and tiring.
  In those days apples are our favourite, but Dad was loath to buy one because they are possibly very expensive.
  One day, Dad went to Taipei for business and bought one apple home.
  Dad peeled it, split it in five and gave one piece for each of our five bothers and sisters. The slice was so thin and small but we dare not complain. Dad intended to speak but stopped after he noticed our displeasure. He sighed a deep sigh instead
  Twenty years have passed and I am already a mother. I come to understand Dad's difficulties of those days.
In retrospect of those days we complained it was too small and thin when father divided the apple into five pieces But we didn't know father and mother didn't get even a bite.
  If we had asked Dad to cut the into seven pieces and asked them to have a bite, it would have left us so sweet memory.

One apple
                          
  Our childhood in the countryside was not quite easy and we could say that was hard.
  At that time, apple was our favourite. But perhaps it was too expensive to buy, Papa seldom bought any for us. One day Papa finally brought one home after his business trip to Taipei.
  After peeling the apple, Papa cut it into five slices and five of his children got one. Ahh! What a thin and small slice it is. But we were not dare to make more comments. Papa found out what’s on our faces, but he said nothing.And he just couldn't help giving a deep sigh.
  Two dacades passed by and now I turn into a mother, experiencing what Papa used to experience.Tracking back to those old days, I realise that  while complaining those small thin slices, we never notice that Papa and Mama didn’t even try a bite!
  What a sweet memory it could be if we asked father to cut that apple into seven and let Papa and Mama have a try!

When we were young we used to live in the suburbs, and the Life was really hard and exhausting.

At that time, We loved to eat apples mostly. However, probably for the sake of its high expense, our father had always been reluctant to buy. Until one day, he finally bought aan apple when working back from Taipei.

After our father finished cutting the apple in five equally weighted proportion, he distributed us one proportion each. Ouch, It was so thin and so small, but we dared not to say. Father discovered our wrongly putted face and wanted to say, but finally he discarded and only sighed.

More than 20 years has passed since then, and I have already been a mother also. I now can intepret my father's difficult that he's reluctant to mention. In the retrospect, an apple was splitted into five part, and we children were still thinking they are tmall are thin. But we didn't think taht our father and mother didnot even get one bit!

If, at that time, we would ask the father to split it into 7 parts into order that father an dmother could taste it, how sweet the memories would have been!

An apple
When we was young, we lived in the countryside. The days then were hard and tired.
At that time, the favorite food for us was apple. However, the apple was too dear for my father to serve us.
One day, my father had a business to Taibei.  At last, he bought an apple back.
Having peeled the apple, he cut it into five parts and gave us, five brothers and sisters, each a piece. My God, it was really thin and papery. Although we didn't speak our mind out, father noticed our embarrassing expression. He opened his mouth but saying nothing, with a deep breath.
Twenty years later, I am a mother now, and begin to realize the difficuly of being parents in hard times. At that time, it was only one apple which was divided into five parts, but we, each child, got a piece. As to the parents, they never had a taste. How could we mind the slice of the apple?. Suppose we had asked father to cut it into seven parts, and mother and father all had had a chance to taste it, how wonderful a memory it would have been!

参考译文:
                                 An Apple

  My childhood was spent in the countryside in terrible bitterness and hardship, so to speak now.
  Apples, at that time, were to our greatest liking and it must be their dear prices that made my father never muster up enough courage to buy one. One day, returning from Taipei on a business trip, he finally managed to bring one home.
  After peeling the apple, my father cut it into five equal pieces and handed out to five of us children. Alas! How thin and small each piece was! But none of us dared to speak this out. Noticing our visible embarrassment with its meagreness and wavering between questions and silence, my father involuntarily expelled a deep sigh ...
  Twenty years have slipped by and I am a mother now. I started to feel for myself the sorrow of my father's then. How regretful I feel now to have hated our portion of the apple being too small and thin without even the slightest thought of our father and mother who did not even have just one bite when they sliced it into five pieces for each of us!
  If only we had asked father to cut it into seven equal pieces and had made them have a taste, how happy and sweet the memory would be now!

惭愧，差距太大。

一点体会：毕竟英语不是母语，在英译汉时总是逐字翻译的情况比较多，不能灵活的应用英语，做到对意译是比较困难的。
