Chapter 2: The Strict School
第2章：严厉的学校
Salem House was very strict, where headmaster Mr. Creakle often whipped students. At school, I met Steerforth, a clever but selfish young man from a wealthy family. Despite the harsh environment, I tried my best to study. Steerforth was friendly to me, but I could sense his arrogance.
萨伦学校非常严格，校长克里克尔先生经常用鞭子体罚学生。在学校里，我遇到了斯蒂福，一个聪明但自私的富家子弟。尽管生活艰难，但我努力学习。斯蒂福虽然对我很好，但我总能感觉到他的傲慢。
My mother passed away shortly after I left. Losing her broke my heart. I had to learn to be strong without her. This experience taught me that life is unpredictable, and we must cherish the people we love while they are with us. Despite all the hardships, I continued my studies, hoping that education would help me build a better future.
我的母亲在我离开后不久就去世了。失去她让我非常伤心。我必须学会在没有她的情况下坚强地生活。这段经历教会我，生命是无法预测的，我们必须珍惜与爱人在一起的时光。尽管面临所有困难，我继续学习，希望教育能帮我建立更好的未来。
