Ⅳ. 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题或翻译画线部分。
The Secret Garden is one of the classical novels for children. Many adults like reading it as well. It was written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It tells a story about a girl called Mary. Mary was an English girl who was born in India. Her parents worked there and often spent much time on parties, so she was very lonely.
After her parents both died of a kind of terrible illness, she had to return to England and live with one of her relatives in a big manor(庄园). There, Mary heard of a secret garden. Ten years ago, her uncle Mr Craven locked it and nobody had been there since. At last she found the key with the help of a bird, and opened the door of the garden secretly.
Mary also heard a boy's crying in the building. It was Colin, her cousin, Mr Craven's son. He was in bed for a long time. And he thought he couldn't walk like other boys and would die soon. Mary helped him—she took him into the secret garden. The power of nature made Colin stand up and finally get back his father's love.
The novel has been popular since the 20th century. It has been made into films and plays. If you watch it in the cinema or theatre, it may touch you deeply.
