LESSON 27

A wet night

0:00 / 0:00

原文

Late in the afternoon, the boys put up their tent in the middle of a field. As soon as this was done, they cooked a meal over an open fire. They were all hungry and the food smelled good. After a wonderful meal, they told stories and sang songs by the campfire.

But some time later, it began to rain. The boys felt tired, so they put out the fire and crept into their tent. Their sleeping bags were warm and comfortable, so they all slept soundly. In the middle of the night, two boys woke up and began shouting.

The tent was full of water. They all leapt out of their sleeping bags and hurried outside. It was raining heavily and they found that a stream had formed in the field. The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under their tent.

译文

下午晚些时候,孩子们在田野中央搭起了帐篷。完成这一切后,他们就在明火上做饭。他们都很饿,食物的味道也很香。一顿美餐后,他们在篝火旁讲故事、唱歌。

但过了一段时间,天开始下雨了。男孩们感到累了,所以他们扑灭了火,爬进了帐篷。他们的睡袋又暖和又舒服,所以他们都睡得很香。半夜,两个男孩醒来并开始大喊大叫。

帐篷里充满了水。他们都从睡袋里跳出来,急忙往外走。雨下得很大,他们发现田野里形成了一条小溪。小溪蜿蜒穿过田野,然后流到他们的帐篷下面。
