“Hoist it on our tent, papa. We are playing Fourth of July.” “爸爸，我要在我们的帐篷上升起它。我们正在玩美国独立的游戏。”

“Is that what all this noise is about? Why not hoist your own flags?” “你们就是在为这件事吵吵嚷嚷吗？你为什么不把你自己的旗子升起来呢？”

“You might spoil my flag.” “你们可能会弄坏我的旗子。”

“Then we will all join to pay for it. But we will not spoil it, papa.” “如果那样的话，我们会赔给您的。但我们不会弄坏它的，爸爸。”

“Take it, then, and take the coil of rope with it.” “拿去吧。另外，把绳圈也一起拿去。”

“Oh! thank you. Hurrah for the flag, boys!” “噢，谢谢您！太好喽！伙计们，我们有旗帜喽！”
