英国语文第一册(双语) 第34课:百灵鸟
LESSON 34 THE LARK
第三十四课 百灵鸟
Three boys, Dick, Sam, and Ned, went out to play in the fields, and fine fun they had.
Dick，Sam还有Ned三个男孩在田间玩耍，很开心。
As they sat down to rest for a short time, they heard a lark sing.
在他们坐下来短暂休息时，听到一只百灵鸟在唱歌。
How well he sings!” said Dick. “He must be quite close to us, I think,” said Sam.“I should like to see him,” said Ned.
唱的多好啊！”Dick感慨道，Sam说“我觉得它离我们一定很近，”Ned接着说“我想看看它.”
There he is, then,”said Sam; “so you can soon have your wish.”
Sam说“他在那，很快你就可以实现愿望了。”
Where?”said Dick; and up he sprang, just in time to see the lark as he rose once more high in the air. See, there he is, as he sings his sweet song to the boys.
哪儿呢？”Dick快速的起身问道，就在此时他看到这只百灵鸟再一次飞向天空。看，在那儿，一边唱着美妙的歌曲一边向男孩飞来。
Just then Dick saw that Ned had a small stone in his hand. Dick thought that he meant to throw it at the poor lark. So he said, "Ned, do you mean to throw that stone at him?"
就在这时Dick看到Ned的手里拿着一个小石子。Dick觉得Ned想把石子扔向百灵鸟。所以就说道“Ned，你是要对百灵鸟扔石子吗？
"Yes; why not? What harm would there be?"said Ned;“I want you to see how well I can aim.”
是啊，为什么不呢？会有什么伤害呢？”Ned回答道，“我想让你看看我瞄的有多准。”
For shame, Ned!” said Dick.“Throw down the stone. Why should you want to kill the poor bird, that sings so sweet a song to us? If you like, I will soon show you that I can aim quite as well as you can. But I should not like to aim to do ill.” This made both Ned and Sam laugh; and Ned threw down the stone.
太丢脸了，Ned”Dick说道，“把石子扔掉。你为什么想杀死这只歌唱如此美妙的鸟儿呢？等会我给你展示我也可以瞄的像你一样准。但我不会用它做些不好的事情。”这让Ned和Sam都笑了，Ned也扔掉了石子。
The lark went on with his song. Ned said,“I do like to hear the lark sing; how glad I am that I did not try to kill him.”
这只百灵鸟继续歌唱。Ned说“我喜欢听它唱歌，我很高兴我没有试图伤害它。”
