LESSON 28 The soldier and the horse

第二十八課 士兵和馬

A poor soldier was one day passing along a street in London.

一天，一個潦倒的士兵沿著倫敦的一條大街上走著。

All at once he was seen to stop, and look for some time at a horse on the other side of the street.

他突然停下來，盯著對面街道上的一匹老馬看了很長一段時間。

"I know him! I know him!" cried he, as he ran across the street.

“我認(rèn)識他！我認(rèn)識他！”他哭著跑到街對面。

"He is my own old horse. Dear old fellow!"The horse seemed to know the voice.

“他是我的老馬。親愛的老家伙！”馬似乎很熟悉這個聲音。

He laid back his ears, and pushed his nose against the hand that stroked him so kindly.

他垂下了耳朵，把鼻子湊到士兵那雙溫柔的手上。

After a few moments, the poor soldier put his hand in his pocket; and as he did so he said, "Yes, he shall have it, though it were my last penny! I have enough to buy him a feed of corn."

幾分鐘后，可憐的士兵把手放在口袋里摸了摸，他說：“雖然這是我最后一分錢！但是足夠用來給我的老馬買點玉米的飼料?！?/p>

Away he went to bring it; and in a few minutes he came back with the corn, and stood kindly feeding the horse with his own hand.

隨后他轉(zhuǎn)身而去，不一會兒就拿著玉米飼料回來了，自己親手將飼料喂給了老馬。

After staying beside him for some time, he asked where his stable was,

在老馬身邊待了一會后，他問他們要去哪里，

that he might go and see him some other day.

以便以后可以常去探望它。

He then went his way, saying to the driver as he left,

得到答復(fù)之后他便打算離開，走之前對車夫說：

"Be good to him, poor fellow! and use him well."

“好好對待這個可憐的家伙！”

It was a beautiful sight; and it was no wonder that some little boys who stood near, cried out, Hurrah! when they saw the poor soldier's kindness to his old friend.

這是一幅美麗的畫面；也難怪一些小男孩看到那可憐的士兵對他的老朋友的好意時禁不住拍手叫好！

It was a lesson on kindness to animals which they were not likely soon to forget.

這是一堂很有教育意義的課，教育人們對那些很難輕易忘懷的小動物們表示自己的友好之情。
