美国小学英语教材3:第77课 玩具谷的幸运男孩(5)

 The little boy was¹ so busy that he did³ not have time to be lonesome, 他非常忙，他没有时间感到孤独，

and he quite forgot⁴ how sad he had⁶ been because he could⁷ not go to the city. 他已经彻底忘记了自己因为无法进城而无比悲伤过。

What fun it was to see a rabbit or a bear or a goat⁸ come out of the wood! 看到一只兔子、一只熊或是一只山羊从木头中走出来是多么的有趣啊！

By spring Franz had made⁹ many kinds of animals. 到了春天的时候，弗朗茨已经做出了许多种动物。

When his mother and John came¹⁰ home, they found¹¹ that the little boy had been busy and happy all winter. 当妈妈和约翰回家的时候，他们发现弗朗茨一个冬天都很忙碌，也很快乐。

"Have the animals all been made with the luck¹² knife?" asked John. 所有的动物都是用把幸运的小刀做的？约翰问。

"Yes," Franz answered. "It's a splendid¹³ knife, but I don't see yet¹⁴ where the luck comes in." 是的，弗朗茨回答说。那真是一把好刀，但是我没发现运气从何而来。

Again the boy's grandfather smiled as² if he knew a secret¹⁵. 祖父又笑了，好像知道一个秘密。

In a few¹⁶ days Franz's mother got⁵ a letter from a friend in the city, saying¹⁷ that she and her little boy were coming to the mountains for the summer. 几天以后，弗朗茨的妈妈收到了一封来自城里朋友的信，说他和他的小儿子要来山里度过夏天。

A week later¹⁸ they arrived at Franz's home. 一周后他们来到弗朗茨的家里。

Almost¹⁹ as soon as the boy came into the house, he saw²⁰ the wooden²¹ animals that Franz had made. 那个男孩刚一走进屋就看到了弗朗茨刻的动物木雕。

"Oh, oh!" he cried, "dogs, cats, sheep, and goats²², and all made of wood! I want them." 哦，哦！他嚷道，小狗、小猫、绵羊、山羊都是木头做的，我想要他们！

"He means²³ that he wants to buy them," said²⁴ his mother. "Will you sell them, Franz?" 他的意思是说，他想买这些木雕，弗朗茨，你愿意卖吗？他的妈妈说。
