以下是小编根据具体的题目要求，给出的参考答案：

我要告诉你的经历是我曾经为随身听存钱。随身听是一种小型音乐播放设备，比现在的手机稍微大一些。你可以带着它四处行动，随时随地听音乐。

The experience I am going to talk about is that I saved money for a Walkman, which is a small equipment to play music, a little bigger than the cellphone. With it, you can listen to music anywhere at any time.

那大概是11年前我上高中的时候。那时手机仍然是一件新鲜事物，并且功能很少。MP3甚至都没有出现。大多数人听音乐只能选择收音机。如果你拥有一个随身听，基本就站在了潮流的前沿，走在学校里会吸引无数人的目光。

That is about 11 years ago, when I was in the secondary school. At that time, cellphone was still a luxury that few people could afford, and Mp3 player was very rare. If people wanted to listen to music, they were likely to turn to the big tape recorder. If you had a Walkman then, you were standing at the edge of fashion and would attract huge attention in the campus.

我一直都想要一个。但因为它与学习无关，我不太可能从父母那里得到钱。所以我开始削减一切不必要的开支。停止参加任何社交活动，并且将自己的吃饭钱从每天20削减到15块。

I always wanted one. But since it was not relevant to my study, it was almost impossible to get sponsorship from my parents. So I decided to save money by myself. Do not copy or repost it. I cut off all the non-essential spending, stopped attending any social activity that might cost money, and reduce my food budget from 20 RMB a day to 15 RMB.

三个月后，我终于存够了买随声听的钱。趁着周末自己去买了一个(special day out)。打开它的一瞬间，我有一种巨大的满足感，觉得自己这三个月来悲惨的生活还是值得的。

3 months later, I saved about 600 yen, just enough to buy the Walkman. That weekend, I went to the shopping mall and got what I wanted. The moment I opened the box, I felt a great sense of satisfaction. Everything I had suffered finally paid off.
