LESSON 44

Through the forest

0:00 / 0:00

原文

Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men. They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag. In the struggle, the strap broke.

And with the bag in their possession, both men started running through the trees. Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them. She was soon out of breath, but she continued to run.

When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag. So she ran straight at them. The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away. The strap needs mending, said Mrs.

Sterling later. But they did not steal anything.

译文

当安妮·斯特林夫人追赶两个男人穿过森林时,她没有想到自己所冒的风险。当她和孩子们在森林边缘野餐时,他们冲向她,试图偷她的手提包。在挣扎中,带子断了。

拿着袋子后,两人开始穿过树林。斯特林夫人非常生气,追了上去。她很快就气喘吁吁了,但她还是继续跑。

当她追上他们时,她看到他们已经坐下来,正在检查袋子里的东西。于是她径直向他们跑去。男人们吓得丢下包逃跑了。女士说,表带需要修理。

稍后英镑。但他们并没有偷任何东西。
