Around 12 or 13 years old, my ideal about future career was quite obscure. Railroad train, which I thought was amazing at that time, intersted me a lot and I wanted to be the driver, although quite impossible. Longhai railroad was just opposite my school where a very long tunnel extended to Baoji-Xi'an. It's totally another world beyond Baoji and Xi'an. What would the world look like? For me, I knew nothing but Tian An Men. I was not sure about being a train driver, as it was no big deal except amazing. Were there something I fervently hoped? cook. Yes, to be a school cook was what I was always dreaming of. The most expensive dish in my school canteen was 15 cents, while 5 cents for the cheapest. I could not even afford the 5 cents dish, but the cooks could eat 15 cents dish everyday. That's why I thought cook was the best choice.

感谢大家的支出，以下是对眉批的说明，如果要继续探讨，可以给我留言或者发站内信:

1.intersted me a lot 这个说法应该没问题吧？就是让我很感兴趣。interest是让...感兴趣的意思。

2. the driver 这个请看上文，the 指代 railroad train.

3.nothing except 和 nothing but 可以互用。
