哥伦布英语 第 42 课：Two Goats on the Bridge 两只山羊在桥上

One day a goat started to cross a little bridge. 有一天，一只山羊开始过一座小桥。

At that very minute, another goat started out from the other side of the bridge. 就在同时，另一只山羊从桥的另一头开始过桥。

When they saw one another, they knew that one of them would have to go back.当他们看到对方时，他们知道他们中的一个必须得退回去。

"Go back!?cried the first goat. "Where is no room for you to pass here while I
am crossing." “回去！”第一只山羊喊道，“我过桥的时候没有地方让你过去。”

"It is you who must go back!?cried the other goat. "You can start again after
I cross over.?“是你必须回去！”另一只山羊叫道。 “我过去以后你再开始过。

The first goat said as he was in the right and would not give way. ”第一只羊说。他觉得自己是对的，所以他不肯让路。

"We will see!"cried the other goat, and they started to fight. “我们走着瞧！”另一只山羊喊道，然后他们开始打起来。

In another minute, the two goats fell into the water. 很快，两只羊都掉到了水里。

A man who was fishing saw the fight. He laughed as he pulled the goats out of the water. 一个正在钓鱼的人看到了这场争斗。他笑着把山羊从水里拉了出来。

"You see,?said he." When everyone thinks he is right, something always goes wrong!" “你们看，”他说，“当每个人都觉得自己是正确的时候，就一定会出事！”
