Question

帮忙翻译一下

July 21st,2007 was a typical English summer’s day — it rained for 24 hours! As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I left work at 5 pm, however，the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door, a wave of water greeted me. Thank God the kids weren’t with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. And the plaster had to be torn off the walls, ceilings pulled down.
At first we tried to push on through. We didn’t want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community (社区). We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours，and I’d never thought how much I’d miss that.
Although our situation was very bad, it’s difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what’s happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought，“We didn’t have a straw hut(茅草房) that was swept away, and our house is still standing. We’re lucky.”
We moved back home in August. With December coming，there’s still reconstruction work to be done, so it’s difficult to prepare for Christmas. But I can’t wait—I’m going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year, I won’t need any gifts — living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replacing things, there’s really no rush—we have our home back, and that’s the main thing.

2007年7月21日是一个典型的英国夏天的一天，雨一直下了24个小时！像往常一样，我冲回家从工作在中午去看房子。没什么不对劲。在我离开的时候，下午5点下班，但是，在我们村被洪水淹没的道路。我们的房子没有被淹没，但是，当我打开门，一股水向我打招呼。感谢上帝，孩子没有与我，因为房子是5英尺深的水。我们失去的一切都在楼下。和灰泥已经被撕裂了墙壁，天花板上拉下来。
起初我们试图突破。我们不想把孩子离开了家，所以我们在楼上。我们把一张塑料地板保护我们免受潮湿。但三个月后，我们感觉很不舒服，所以我们走到一个木房子在公园。房子很小，但首先我们都只是很高兴在一个新的地方。不幸的是，事情发生了比预期更长的时间，就在那里住了10个月。那里的生活很不方便。最让我惊讶的是我多么想成为社会的一部分（社区）。我们生活在一个友好的社区的好邻居，我从没想过我是多么的想念。
虽然我们的情况很糟糕，很难觉得太对不起自己，当你看别处。我看了一个报道的洪水在印度北部和思想，“我们没有稻草小屋（茅草房），被冲走，和我们的房子还在。我们是幸运的。”
我们在八月搬回家。随着十二月的到来，还有重建的工作要做，所以很难准备圣诞节。但我不能等等——要把党的朋友们在村里的支持表示感谢。这一年，我不需要任何礼物-生活两个月没有回家，让我意识到我们真正需要或错过所有的东西。虽然我们更换的东西，真的没有rush-we我们回家了，这是最主要的事情。
