英语翻译
翻译下列短文.
People like artists and writers usually work on their own,with no one else around.Most of my friends all work with other people in shops and so on,and they tell me that they would never get things done if they work alone.
I was born in a small village in the country where everyone knew everyone else:that is,they knew everyone except a writer who kept himself to himself.By the time I was old enough to learn people's names,he had been living in the village for at least twenty years,but the villagers still regarded him as a stranger Every morning he would walk down to the local shops to do his washing ,and although he had to greet everyone he met,only two or three would return his greeting.Just occasionally,someone would ask him what he was doing,and every time his answer would be the same:“I'm still writhing the book.” And that was all we ever learned about him.
Because no one had ever visited his house,I remember once walking up to the house with three or four other boys to see if we could see what he did.We climbed up to the windows and looked in,expecting to see our writhing typing at his desk.Instead,he was sitting in an armchair reading a book.

一楼的肯定是机器翻译的,白吃都看得懂~!
像艺术家和小说家那样的人多数都是自己工作的,没有其他人在旁边帮助.很多我的朋友都和别人在商店里一起工作或者其他的公司,他们告诉我,他们无法只靠自己把工作做完.
我在一个小镇上出生,那个小镇上的每个人都认识其他人,但是除了一个不怎么经常出现的小说家.当我成长到可以记得所有人的名字的时候,那个作家在这个小镇上住了将近20年,但是,小镇的居民都还认为他是个陌生人.每一天的早晨,他会走到本地的商店去洗他的衣服,还有和每个与他见面的人问好,但只有2到3个人会回礼. 就只有很少的时候,才会人问他：“你在做什么”,每一次他都会回答同样的答案：“ 我一直在写书”（你是不是拼写错了 writhing? writing?）这就是我们认识他的全部.
因为没有人去他的家拜访,我记得一次跟3个或者4个男孩走到他家去拜访他,如果我们能看到他做什么.我们爬上窗口往里看,除了看到打字机之外,就只有他正坐在扶手倚那看书.
不可能全篇完全照英文意思翻译,会很空洞,所以我加上了自己的一些东西,可以保证百分之百原来的意思~
