Mrs. CatherineThey stripped off their clothing and jumped in the water tom around the buoy she had just noticed. Soon her beautiful lawn resembled an abandoned campsite with cans thrown everywhere. She looked up at the calendar and moaned: it was Spring Break. As she looked at the buoyant children on the water, the crowd in her lawn burgeoned into a regular party. She had never taken into her calculations that other people might like the peacefulness of her new bungalow at all. But she decided to play along, got hermsuit on, and went out and joined the party. Soon guests and new friends were going in and out of her home and Mrs. Catherine was happier than ever. A by-product of her good sportsmanship and friendliness was that her name became the buzzword formming at this location.他们脱下衣服跳进水中，围着她先前注意到的那个救生圈游起泳来。不一会儿，她那漂亮的草坪就像是一个到处扔满饮料罐、被遗弃了的营地。她抬头一看日历，悲叹道：原来学生放春假了。在她看着水上快乐的孩子们的时候，她家草坪上的人群已经迅速发展成了一个标准聚会。她可从来没估计到其他人也有可能喜欢她这所新居的宁静。但她还是决定和他们一起玩，她换上泳装，走出家门，加入了聚会。很快客人们和新朋友们就在她家进进出出了。凯瑟琳太太还从来没有这样高兴过。她具有良好的运动员素质，而且为人友善，这给她带来了一个意外的结果，那就是她的名字在那儿成了代替“游泳”的时髦词儿。
