哥伦布英语 第 73 课：Ellen's Day 艾伦的一天

One day Mrs. Smith and her daughter, Ellen, went visiting a family. 一天，史密斯太太和她女儿，艾伦，去拜访一户人家。

There were six children. Ellen felt that she was going to have a very good day. 那里有六个孩子。艾伦知道她会度过很快乐的一天。

The twins, Paul and Pauline, were Ellen's age, seven years old. Bob and Ann were older. 保罗和波林是双胞胎，和艾伦一样大，七岁。鲍勃和安年长一点。

There was the little daughter, Ruth, who was six, and the baby, who was just rawling around on the floor. 接下来还有个小女儿鲁思，六岁，还有一个小婴儿，还在地上到处爬。

Ellen ran and jumped and rolled a hoop with the children. 艾伦和那些孩子们一起跑、一起跳、一起滚铁环。

Paul took some fishing rods, and they all went down to the brook to fish. 保罗拿来一些钓鱼竿，他们都去小溪边钓鱼。

Bob and Paul taught Ellen how to fish. It was fun, but Ellen didn't catch any fish. 鲍勃和保罗教艾伦怎么钓鱼。那很有趣，但是艾伦一条鱼都没捉到。

Her clothes were wet, but it wasn's Ellen's fault because children all get splashed when they fish. 她的衣服湿了，但这并不是艾伦的过错，因为所有的孩子在钓鱼时都会被溅湿。

The five children went back to the house, but they paused to rest several times. 五个孩子回家了，但是他们停下来休息了几次。

It was soon time to go home, so Mrs. Smith put a shawl around Ellen. She had had such a wonderful time with so many children! 很快就到回家的时候了，史密斯太太给艾伦围上了围巾。她和这么多孩子一起度过了多么快乐的时光啊！
