求翻译这段英文

Gertrude was just an average kid with an average life.She lived in an average sized house in an average neighborhood in a totally typical town.At home, she helped out just enough to slide by.At school, she did just enough homework to stay out of trouble.She had straight C's in all of her classes.

One day Gertrude's teacher, Mr. Mister, stopped her after class."Gertrude," he said, "I know that you can do better.I've seen the work you do in class, and some of it is amazing... way better than C' work."Gertrude knew that there were moments when she did try a little harder than what everyone expected, like when she put extra elbow grease into some of the dishes to make them really sparkle; or, when she took extra time with her handwriting on a few problems of her homework to make it look fancy.But she just didn't have confidence in herself.She didn't really believe that she could change; in fact, she was scared by the thought of having the power to become whatever she wanted.She had done just enough to get by for so long that being mediocre was her lifestyle.She stopped listening to Mr. Mister about half way through and just nodded her head until he stopped.Then, she walked out at an average pace.
