LESSON 31 THE GREAT JUMP

第三十一課 出色的一跳

Ben and May were twins; that means that they were of the same age. May was not so tall as Ben was, and she was not so strong; but May thought more, learned more, and did more than Ben.

Ben和May是對(duì)雙胞胎，因此他們同齡。May沒有Ben高，不強(qiáng)壯，但是比Ben更愿意去思考，去學(xué)習(xí)，去行動(dòng)。

Ben could jump down one step of the stair at a time. When he held by the top of the rail, he could jump two steps at a time. Ben was proud that he could jump more than May could.

Ben一次可以跳下一個(gè)臺(tái)階。當(dāng)他依靠欄桿頂部時(shí)可以一次跳兩個(gè)臺(tái)階。Ben很自豪可以比May跳的多。

When Ben and May were just four years old, Ben thought that he would soon be a big boy, fit for school. He loved to talk, and he loved to boast, and so Ben said things which no wise boy would have said.

在Ben和May四歲那年，Ben覺得自己很快就是個(gè)大男孩了，適合上學(xué)了。他喜歡說大話，喜歡吹牛，所以Ben就會(huì)說一些不聰明的男孩會(huì)說到的話。

“I can jump—I can jump a great way!”cried Ben. “Now that I am four years old I can jump down four steps at a time, and not hold at all by the top of the rail!”

“我能跳---我能出色的完成一跳！”Ben大聲喊道。“我現(xiàn)在四歲了一次可以跳下4個(gè)臺(tái)階了，不用在靠欄桿幫忙了。”

“Oh no, dear Ben,”said May; “we must not try such a great jump as that. We must wait till we are tall and strong.” For May was too wise to boast.

“不要，親愛的Ben，”May說道，“我們不用跳的那么出色，我們要等到足夠強(qiáng)壯高大的時(shí)候.”May很聰明不說大話的。

“I can jump four steps at a time—I am sure that I can!” cried proud Ben. “I can do much more than you can; for you are but a girl, and I am a boy—a big, strong boy. Just look now how I can jump!”

“我能一次跳下4個(gè)臺(tái)階，我確定的！”Ben自豪的喊道。“我做的比你可以做到的要多得多，你僅是個(gè)女孩，而我是個(gè)高大強(qiáng)壯的男孩。你就看著我是怎么跳的！”

Ben ran up the four steps, and looked down from the high place on May with a smile.“Just look how I jump!”he cried once more.

Ben跑上了4個(gè)臺(tái)階，從高處往下笑著看May，再一次喊道“看好我是怎么跳的！”

Ben jumped down the four steps, but, as you may think, he came down on his nose, and not on his feet! Oh, how his nose was hurt! how fast it bled!

Ben跳下了4個(gè)臺(tái)階，正如你想的那樣，他是鼻子著地而不是腳著地！受傷的鼻子啊，鼻血流的多快?。?/p>

Poor Ben roared with the pain. He roared loud; he roared like a bull. May ran to help him up; and so did Aunt Jane, who had heard his loud roar, though she was in her own room, with her door shut. She could have heard him through two or three doors.

可憐的Ben因?yàn)橥创舐暤呐叵?，哭喊的聲音很大，像一頭牛一樣。May跑過去幫忙，盡管房門關(guān)著，阿姨Jane還是聽到了Ben的哭喊，也跑著過來幫忙。Jane即使隔著2個(gè)或3扇門也能聽到Ben的聲音。

Aunt Jane washed Ben's poor nose, and bound up his face, when she had put some oil on it to make it well. But it did not get well for a long time. The poor nose was nearly as big as a pear, and as red as the comb of a cock, for more than a week!

Jane洗了Ben的鼻子并涂上了一些油以后包扎了整張臉。但是還是好久都沒好起來。超過一周的時(shí)間，可憐的鼻子幾乎像梨一樣大，像雞冠一樣紅。

Do you not hope that the pain taught Ben to boast less, and to think more? You see that he was not yet a wise boy, though he was four years old. We may hope that poor Ben got more sense in his head by the time that he came to be five.

你不希望這次傷痛教會(huì)Ben少吹牛多思考嗎？你明白他不是個(gè)聰明的孩子盡管才4歲。我們或許希望在快5歲時(shí)可憐的Ben頭腦能開竅些。

Love not to talk,

愛不是說大話，

Love not to boast;

愛不是吹牛。

Grief comes to him who brags the most.

老是說大話的人總會(huì)出事故的。
