LESSON 8 The saiior and the monkeys

第八課 水手和猴子

A sailor once went ashore on the coast of South America. He had with him a number of red woollen caps for sale. On his way to a town at some distance from the coast, he had to pass through a forest, in which troops of monkeys were everywhere seen climbing among the trees.

從前，一個(gè)水手在南美的海岸靠岸，他有很多紅毛帽子要賣。在他去小鎮(zhèn)的路離海岸有一段距離，他已經(jīng)穿越了一座有很多在樹(shù)上爬的猴子的森林。

At noon, as the sun was right overhead, the sailor had to take shelter from its burning rays. He lay down to rest under the shade of a large tree.

中午時(shí)分，熱辣辣的太陽(yáng)直掛天空，水手不得不尋找陰涼地避下太陽(yáng)，他躺在一棵大樹(shù)下的陰涼處休息。

Taking one of the caps out of his bundle, he put it on his head, and soon fell fast asleep.

拿出一捆帽子里的一頂帽子放在頭上，很快他就睡著了。

When he awoke, he found, to his utter amazement, that the caps were all gone! A most unusual chattering among the dense branches above him drew his attention. Looking up, he saw the trees alive with troops of monkeys, and on the head of each monkey was a red woollen cap!

醒過(guò)來(lái)的時(shí)候，他才驚訝的發(fā)現(xiàn)，他的帽子全都不見(jiàn)了！茂密的樹(shù)枝里奇怪的喧鬧聲引起了他的注意。抬頭一看，他才發(fā)現(xiàn)樹(shù)上住著猴子家族，每個(gè)猴子都有一頂紅毛帽子！

The little mimics had watched his proceeding; and, having stolen his caps while he slept, had adorned their black pates with their booty.The monkeys gave no heed to his shouts, but only grinned at his rage.

小家伙看到什么就模仿什么，所以趁他睡覺(jué)的時(shí)候偷走了他的帽子，用獲得的戰(zhàn)利品裝飾自己的腦袋。猴子沒(méi)有注意到他的吼叫，雖然他很憤怒，但是猴子只是一個(gè)勁的笑。

Finding every attempt to get back his caps fruitless, he pulled off the one which he had put on his head, and threw it on the ground, crying out,"Here, you little thieving rogues, if you will keep the rest, you may take this one too!"

每次嘗試都無(wú)法奪回帽子，他就把帽子脫下來(lái)扔在地上，大叫：“喂！你個(gè)小偷，如果你還是留著的話，你也會(huì)得到報(bào)應(yīng)的?！?/p>

No sooner had he done this, than, to his great surprise, the little animals at once did the same. Each snatched the cap from his head and threw it on the ground! The sailor regained all his caps, and marched off in triumph.

他做完之后，出乎他意料的是，小猴子們都模仿他。每一頂被偷的帽子都被扔在地上，水手又拿到了所有的帽子，就凱旋而歸了！

QUESTIONS

問(wèn)題

Who is that lying on the ground? What is he doing? What do you see on the trees? What have they got on their heads? What is the monkey on the ground doing? Where did the others get their caps? How were they made to give them up again?

誰(shuí)躺在地上？他在干嘛？你在樹(shù)上看到什么？他們頭上的東西怎么來(lái)的？猴子在地上干嘛？其他人在哪里拿到帽子的？怎樣讓他們放棄帽子的？
