30 鳥窩與頭發(fā)
My niece, a kindergarten teacher, was suffering fromfood-poisoning. After she got a little better, she wentto kindergarten in a peach scarf.
我的侄女是一位幼兒園老師,她食物中毒了。剛感覺好一點(diǎn)就披了條桃紅色的圍巾到幼兒園了。
One of her pupils said to her, “Ma’am, when Idumped the litter, I found a bird built its nest in themaple outside the classroom.”
一個學(xué)生告訴她說:“老師,在我出去倒垃圾的時候,我看到一只鳥兒在教室外的楓樹上壘了個窩。”
“What kind of bird?” my niece asked.
“是什么鳥兒?”我侄女問她。
“I didn’t see the bird, ma’am, only the nest.” replied the child.
“我沒看到鳥兒,老師,只看到鳥窩。”那孩子回答說。
“Then, can you give us a description of the nest?” My niece encouraged her.
“那么,你能給我描述一下這個鳥窩嗎?”我侄女鼓勵她道。
“Well, ma’am, it just resembles your matted hair,” the child burst out.
“哦,老師,就像你糾纏在一起的頭發(fā)一樣。”孩子脫口而出。
