THE YOUNG TEACHER

小老師

Charles Rose lived in the country with his father, who taught him to read and to write.

查爾斯.羅斯和父親住在鄉(xiāng)下。在那里，父親教他讀書(shū)和寫(xiě)字。

Mr. Rose told his son that, when his morning lessons were over, he might amuse himself for one hour as he pleased.

羅斯先生告訴兒子，每天上午的課程結(jié)束后，他可以隨意玩耍一個(gè)小時(shí)。

There was a river near by.

他們的住處附近有一條河。

On its bank stood the hut of apoor fisherman, who lived by selling fish.

河岸上有一個(gè)小屋，住著一個(gè)可憐的窮漁夫，靠打魚(yú)為生。

His careful wife kept her wheel going early and late.

漁夫那勤勞的妻子總是從早忙到晚，一刻也不閑著。

They both worked very hard to keep themselves above want.

他們都很努力地想讓自己的生活更好些。

But they were greatly troubled lest their only son should never learn to read and to write.

但是，他們又在為自己唯一的兒子無(wú)法學(xué)習(xí)而犯愁。

They could not teach him themselves, and they were too poor to send him to school.

他們既無(wú)法自己教孩子學(xué)習(xí)，又因?yàn)樨毟F而沒(méi)有能力送孩子去學(xué)校里學(xué)習(xí)。

Charles called at the hut of this fisherman one day, to inquire about his dog, which was missing.

有一天，查爾斯來(lái)到這個(gè)漁夫家中，問(wèn)他有沒(méi)有看到一條走失的狗。

He found the little boy, whose name was Joe, sitting by the table, on which he was making marks with a piece of chalk.

他看到漁夫的兒子——一個(gè)名叫喬的小男孩正坐在桌子上，用一支粉筆在上面做記號(hào)。

Charles asked him whether he was drawing pictures.

查爾斯問(wèn)他是否在畫(huà)畫(huà)。

"No, I am trying to write," said little Joe, "but I know only two words. Those I saw upon a sign, and I am trying to write them."

“沒(méi)有，我在試著寫(xiě)字呢，”喬說(shuō)，“但是，我只認(rèn)識(shí)兩個(gè)字，是從一個(gè)標(biāo)牌上看到的，我正要試著寫(xiě)下來(lái)呢。”

"If I could only learn to read and write," said he, "I should be the happiest boy in the world."

“要是我能學(xué)習(xí)閱讀和寫(xiě)字就好了，”他繼續(xù)說(shuō)，“那我就成了世界上最幸福的人。”

"Then I will make you happy," said Charles.

查爾斯說(shuō)：“那么，我來(lái)讓你幸福吧，”

I am only a little boy, but I can teach you that.

我雖然只是一個(gè)小孩子，但是我能教你閱讀和寫(xiě)字。

My father gives me an hour every day for myself.

父親每天都會(huì)給我一個(gè)小時(shí)的時(shí)間。

Now, if you will try to learn, you shall soon know how to read and to write.

如果你想學(xué)習(xí)，很快就能學(xué)會(huì)如何閱讀、如何寫(xiě)字了。

Both Joe and his mother were ready to fall on their knees to thank Charles.

喬和他的媽媽都快要跪下來(lái)感謝查爾斯了。

They told him it was what they wished above all things.

他們告訴他，這正是自己最大的心愿。

So, on the next day when the hour came, Charles put his book in his pocket, and went to teach Joe.

于是，在第二天可以自由活動(dòng)的時(shí)候，查爾斯將書(shū)本放到口袋里，準(zhǔn)備去給喬上課。

Joe learned very fast, and Charles soon began to teach him how to write.

喬非常聰明，學(xué)得很快，查爾斯已經(jīng)開(kāi)始教他如何寫(xiě)字了。

Some time after, a gentleman called on Mr. Rose, and asked him if he knew where Charles was.

過(guò)了一段時(shí)間，有一位紳士前來(lái)拜訪羅斯先生，問(wèn)他是否知道查爾斯在哪里。

Mr. Rose said that he was taking a walk, he supposed.

羅斯先生說(shuō)，他以為查爾斯出去散步了。

"I am afraid," said the gentleman, "that he does not always amuse himself thus. "

這位先生說(shuō)：“我很擔(dān)心，他不會(huì)一直自己玩的。”

I often see him go to the house of the fisherman. I fear he goes out in their boat.

我經(jīng)常看到他去漁夫住的小屋。我擔(dān)心他會(huì)坐船出去。

Mr. Rose was much troubled.

羅斯先生有點(diǎn)慌亂了。

He had told Charles that he must never venture on the river, and he thought he could trust him.

他曾經(jīng)囑咐過(guò)查爾斯不要到河里去玩，那樣很危險(xiǎn)，而且他還以為應(yīng)該相信孩子。

The moment the gentleman left, Mr. Rose went in search of his son.

就在那位先生離開(kāi)后，羅斯也出去尋找兒子。

He went to the river, and walked up and down,
