THE BOAT UPSET
翻船
"Sit still, children. Do not move about in the boat," said Mr. Rose to the young folks he was taking for a trip on the water.
“老實(shí)坐著，孩子們。不要在船里動來動去。” 羅斯先生對年輕人說。他正在水中劃船。
The boat was a large one, and could not easily be upset.
船很大，很難被弄翻。
There were in it Mr. and Mrs. Rose, the boatman, and several little boys and girls.
船上坐著羅斯先生和羅斯太太、 船夫，還有一些小男孩和小女孩。
"Keep still, please, young gentlemen," said the boatman, when Edgar Rose and Thomas Read began to move from one side to the other.
“請老實(shí)點(diǎn)兒，年輕的先生們。”當(dāng)埃德加?羅斯和托馬斯? 瑞德開始從船的一頭挪到另一頭時(shí)，船夫說。
They kept quiet for a short time only. Edgar soon wanted a stick which Thomas held in his hand.

He lost his balance in trying to get the stick, and fell into the water.

Mr. and Mrs. Rose both started up, and stretched out their arms to save him; but in so doing, they upset the boat.

Every one fell into the water, and all were in the greatest danger of being drowned.

Children should always be careful and quiet when they are in a boat on the water, and should obey what older people tell them.
