英國語文第二冊(雙語) 第36課:校園里的熊
LESSON 34 The bear in school
第三十四課 校園里的熊
A boy rambling in the woods many years ago, in a part of America where bears used to live, one day found the cub of a Black Bear. It was very young, and looked like a little dog covered all over with thick brown hair.
很多年前一個男孩在美洲的一個樹林里閑逛，那兒曾有熊棲息。一天他發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個只黑熊的幼崽，它很幼小，看起來就像是一只渾身布滿了濃密棕毛的小狗。
The boy carried it home. It was fed and brought up about the house, and soon became as tame as a dog.
男孩把小熊帶回了家。它在房子里散養(yǎng)著長大了，很快就象一條狗一樣的溫順。
Every day the boy had to go to school some way off. It was not long before the bear went with him, and it used to roam about the fields till school was over.
每天男孩需要走一段路去上學。小熊跟著他一起去，沒過多久就習慣了在田里漫游直到男孩放學。
At first the other boys were afraid of Henry's bear, but before long they became great friends.
最初其他的男孩子們害怕亨利的熊，但很快他們就成了很好的朋友。
Many of them used to bring their dinners to school in small bags or baskets. These were hung on pegs on the wall, and at the play-hour they were taken down, and the bear was sure then to get a good share of the bread and butter, and apples and pears.
他們當中有許多都曾把晚餐用小袋子或框裝好帶到學校，掛在墻上的木樁上。等到了自由活動的時間，他們把食物袋取下來，而小熊肯定會分到它的那一份面包、黃油、蘋果和梨。
Things went on in this way for a long time; but one day the animal was nowhere to be seen. It had found its way to the woods, and did not return. Search was made for it, but without success.
這樣一直過了很久，但是有一天怎么也找不到這只小獸了。它發(fā)現(xiàn)了去樹林的路，然后就沒有回來過。大家有去找過它，但都沒有找到。
QUESTIONS
問題
What did the boy find in the woods? What did he do with it? What did it soon become? Where used it to go with him? What did the boys give it? Where had it gone when it was missed?
男孩在樹林里找到了什么？他怎么處理了所找到的東西？這東西后來變成了什么？它曾和男孩去哪里？男孩子們給它什么？它走失時去過哪里？
Many years passed away, in which time great changes took place in the school. The old master died, and a new one took his place.
很多年過去了，學校里也發(fā)生了很多變化。老校長死了，一個新人接替了校長的位置。
A new set of boys filled the seats in the old school-house.
一群新的男孩們坐在老校舍的座位上。
One very cold wintry day, while the master was out, a boy chanced to leave the door half open, and on a sudden a large black bear walked into the school!
一個寒冷的冬天，當校長不在時，一個男孩偶然地任校門半開著，突然一只大黑熊走進了學校！
The boys were in terror. Some ran to the door, others made for the tables. One big fellow jumped out of the window. Two or three little girls hid themselves under the desks. But one brave boy seized a piece of wood, and told the girls not to be afraid, for he would protect them!
男孩們害怕極了。一些跑向了門，另一些跑向寫字臺。一個大家伙從窗戶里跳了出來。兩三個小女孩藏在課桌底下。但是一個勇敢的男孩抓起一個木棍，告訴女孩們不要害怕，因為他會保護她們！
But the bear did not harm any one. It walked up quietly to the fire, and warmed itself. It seemed to be very much at home, and to feel very glad to get into such warm, snug quarters.
但是這只熊沒有傷害任何人。它靜靜地走向火爐，然后為自己取暖。它看上去就像是在自己的家里一樣，感受著溫暖舒適的房間帶來的愉悅。
It sat by the fire for a short time, and then walked up to the wall where the dinner baskets of the scholars were hanging.
它在火旁稍坐了一會兒，然后走向墻上掛著的學員們的晚餐籃。
Standing on its hind feet, it put its paw into the baskets, and helped itself to the bread and fruit, and other good things in them! It then quietly walked out of the school by the way it had walked in.
用后腳站立著，它把前爪伸進餐籃，自顧地吃起了面包、水果和其他裝在里面的好東西！然后它從進入校園的原路又走出的校園。
In the meantime, the boy who had jumped out of the window had alarmed the village.
與此同時，從窗戶里跳出來的那男孩通報了整個村子。
A number of young men started with their guns, to shoot the bear. As its track was very plain in the snow, they soon came up with it, and killed it.
很多年輕人開始拿起槍要射殺這只熊。由于腳印在雪里很清晰，他們很快找到了它，把它殺了。
Then it was that they found, by certain marks upon its skin, that the poor bear was no enemy, but the old friend of their own schooldays! Great was the sorrow felt for its death.
后來他們從這只熊皮上找到了一個特殊的記號，才發(fā)現(xiàn)這只熊不是害人的獸，而是他們當年上學時的老伙伴！于是為它的死很是悲傷。
