A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed Jack and Ben are good friends. One day, they explore a forest together. When they go deep into the forest, suddenly they hear a sound. “What’s that? The sound is so terrible.” Ben says. “Oh! Bear! Look! A bear!” Jack says and climbs quickly on a tall tree. Ben tries to climb on the tree. But he can’t. “What can I do? Help me please! “Ben says to Jack. But Jack does nothing. The bear is coming. Ben lies down quickly and pretends to die. The bear looks at Ben and walking around him. Ben holds his breath. The bear smells Ben and thinks he’s dying, and then the bear goes away. When Jack sees the bear going far, he slides down from the tree and wakes Ben. “What did the Bear whisper to you?” Jack asks Ben. “Why didn’t you help me? Have you not heard the sentence: A friend in need is a friend indeed?” Ben shouted. 故事28 患难见真情 杰克和本是一对好朋友。一天,他俩结伴去森林探险。当他们深入森林时,突然听到一个声音。 “那是什么?这声音真恐怖。”本说。 “啊!是熊!快看!熊!”杰克边说边迅速爬到身旁的颗大树上。 本试着爬在树上,可是他做不到。“我怎么办啊?快帮帮我?”本朝杰克喊道。可是杰克什么也没有做。 熊来了。本赶快躺在地上装死。熊看看本。绕着他走了儿圈。本赶忙屏住呼吸。熊又低下头闻了本,以为他死了,然后就走开了。 杰克看到熊走远了,他才滑下树来,叫醒本。“熊刚才跟你说什么了?“杰克好奇地文本。 “你刚才为什么不帮我?难道你没有听对患难见真情这句话吗?”本大声喊道
going to the sun during the night
when the americans were getting ready to send their firstmen to the moon, an old irishman was watching them on tele vision in the bar of a hotel.
there was an englishman in the bar too, and he said tothe irishman,“the americans are very clever, aren't they?they're going to send some men to the moon. it's a very longway from our world.”
“oh that's nothing,”the irishman.answered quickly.“the irish are going to send some men to the sun in a fewmonths’ time. that's much farther away than the moon, youknow.”
the englishman was very surprised when he heard this.“oh, yes, it is.” he said,“but the sun's too hot for people togo to.”
the irishman laughed and answered.“well,the irish aren't stupid, you know. we won't go to the sun during theday, of course. we'll go there during the night.”
夜间到太阳上去
当美国人正准备将他们第一批宇航员送上月球时,有一个上了年纪的爱尔兰人在一家旅馆的酒巴里正从电视中观看着宇航员的壮举。
在酒巴里还有一个英国人,他对那个爱尔兰人说:“美国人真聪明,是吧?他们就要将几个人送上月球了。那儿离我们地球有好长好长的一段路呢。”
“呕,那又有什么,”爱尔兰人马上回话说。“再过几个月的时间爱尔兰人要将一些人送到太阳上去呢。你是知道的,那儿比月球要远得多了。”
那英国人听了这番话,感到很吃惊,他说:“噢,是的,是远得多了,不过太阳太热了,人们去不了那儿。”
爱尔兰人大笑起来,回答说:“咳,你知道,爱尔兰人可没那么蠢。我们当然不会在白天到太阳上去。我们在夜间上太阳那儿去。”
