Question

翻译下面英语短文 谢谢大家啦~~

A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting（诱人的）apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn't much of a fruit-eater, preferring a bar of chocolate if given the choice but, as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the hungrier he felt and the more he wanted that apple.

He stood on tiptoe(脚尖)，stretching as high as he could, but even as his tallest height he was unable to touch it. He began to jump up and down, as high as he could, at the top of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of reach .

Not giving up, he though, if only he had something to stanf on. His school bag wouldn't give enough height and he didn't want to break the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking around he hoped he might find an old box, a rock, or, with luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use.

He had tired everything he could think to do. Without seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walkaway . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his efforts , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he thought like this, the more unhappy he became.

However the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn't always get what get he wanted. He started to say to himself. "This isn't helpful I don't have the apple and I'm feeling miserable as well. There's nothing more I can do to get the apple—that is unchangeable—but we are supposed to be able to change our feelings. If that's the case, what can I do to feel better?"

一个男孩从学校步行回家，当他看到一个又大又诱人的苹果在篱笆内的大树的树枝上。这个男孩不是特别喜欢苹果，如果有选择他更喜欢的巧克力。男孩盯着苹果想：但是，正如他们所说，禁果很诱人。他越看着它越饿。他觉得，他更希望得到苹果。

他蹑手蹑脚过去，伸长了身子，但即使到了他最高的高度，他无法去触摸它。他跳了起来，只要他的手能比苹果高。不过，它仍然遥不可及。

他认为如果有东西垫在脚下他便能成功。但他的书包不够高，而且他不想打破里面的东西，比如他的饭盒，铅笔盒，和Game Boy游戏机。环顾四周，他希望找到一个旧箱子，一块石头，或运气好的话，甚至一个阶梯，但这里太干净了，没有什么他可以垫。

他累了，他认为他尽力了。看来没有其他的选择，他放弃了，准备走开。起初，他感到愤怒和失望以及饥饿，他想尽一切办法得到苹果。他越想越不快。

然而，我们的故事里的男孩是一个相当聪明的家伙，即使他不能总是得到他想要的。他开始对自己说。 “这没有任何帮助，所以没有苹果，我感觉我好可怜。我可以得到苹果，这是不可改变的，但我们应该是能够改变我们的感情，仅此而已。如果是这样的话，我会感觉好一些吗？“
