Father, and Charles, and Lucy, and I went to the beach yesterday.

We took our dinner, and stayed all day.

Father and Charles went out a little way from the shore in a boat, and fished, while Lucy and I gathered sea mosses.
爸爸和查理斯劃了一條船去釣魚，而露西和我則在采海苔。
We took off our shoes and stockings, and waded into the shallow water.

We had a pail to put our seaweeds in.

We found such beautiful ones.

Some were purple, some pink, and some brown.

When they were spread out in the water, the purple ones looked like plumes, and the brown ones like little trees.
當它們在水里被攤開時，紫色的像羽毛一樣，棕色的則像小樹。
Such a funny thing happened to Lucy.
一件有意思的事情發(fā)生在露西身上。
She slipped on a stone, and down she went into the water.

How we both laughed! But the wind and sun soon dried Lucy's dress.
我們笑得合不攏嘴！風和陽光很快就把露西的裙子弄干了。
Then father came and took us in the boat for a row.
然后，爸爸過來接我們上船。
After that we had a picnic dinner in the woods.
劃過船后，我們在樹林里享用午餐。
Then father spread his coat on the grass, and took a nap while we children played on the beach.
