I wish I might open the gate, and walk in." 他立刻呼唤妈妈:“妈妈,快来看看这个美丽的花园。我真想打开门进去走走。” The gardener, being near, heard what Frank said, and kindly invited him and his mother to come into the garden. 正在附近的园丁听到了弗兰克的话,非常亲切地邀请他们进去。 Frank's mother thanked the man. 弗兰克的妈妈对园丁的好心表达了谢意, Turning to her son, she said,"Frank, if I take you to walk in this garden, you must take care not to meddle with anything in it." 并回头对儿子说:“弗兰克,如果我带你到花园里散步,你必须要小心,不能乱动任何花草树木。” Frank walked along the neat gravel paths, and looked at everything, but touched nothing that he saw. 弗兰克沿着洁净的碎石路小心地前行,他四处张望,小心翼翼地不敢碰触任何东西。 He did not tread on any of the borders, and was careful that his clothes should not brush the tops of the flowers, lest he might break them. 他也没有踩踏任何超出道路边界的地方,很小心地不让自己的衣服刮蹭柔嫩的鲜花,唯恐折断它们。 The gardener was much pleased with Frank, because he was so careful not to do mischief. 园丁对弗兰克的行为十分满意,因为他如此小心地不破坏任何花草。 He showed him the seeds,and told him the name of many of the flowers and plants. 他带弗兰克认识了许多不同的种子,还告诉他诸多鲜花和植物的名称。 While Frank was admiring the beauty of a flower, a boy came to the gate, and finding it locked, he shook it hard. 正当弗兰克悠闲地欣赏着美丽的鲜花时,一个小男孩跑到门口来,他看到大门被锁,便使劲地摇晃着。 But it would not open. Then he said, "Let me in; let me in; will you not let me in this garden?" 但是,门却依然没有被打开。接着,他喊道:“让我进去,让我进去,你不让我进这个花园了吗?” "No, indeed," said the gardener, 园丁对他说:“是的,不让你进来了。” I will not let you in, I assure you; for when I let you in yesterday, you meddled with my flowers, and pulled some of my rare fruit. 我明确地告诉你,再也不许你进来了;因为昨天让你进来后,你把我的鲜花都弄坏了,不仅如此,还把那罕见的果实也摘了下来。 I do not choose to let a boy into my garden who meddles with the plants. 我再也不允许一个随便破坏花草的小男孩进到花园里来了。 The boy looked ashamed, and when he found that the gardener would not let him in, he went slowly away. 这个小男孩有点难为情,当他发现园丁再也不让自己进去之后,慢慢地走开了。 Frank saw and felt how much happier a boy may be by not meddling with what does not belong to him. 不乱动本不属于自己的东西——做一个这样的好孩子多么快乐呀,弗兰克既看到也感受到了这一点。 He and his mother then continued their walk in the garden, and enjoyed the day very much. 他和妈妈继续在花园里漫步,愉快地享受着这美好的一天。 Before they left, the gardener gave each of them some pretty flowers. 在离开之前,园丁分别给了母子俩一些美丽的鲜花。 ************更多资料请访问听力课堂(www.tingclass.net)************
