"Well, George," said Uncle Robert, "we're glad to see you. “喂,乔治,”罗伯特叔叔说,“很高兴见到你。 Arthur will show you a good time, and will try to teach you as many interesting things about the city 亚瑟会带你去玩,并尽量教你关于城市的趣事,
as you taught him about the country last summer. 就像你去年夏天教他关于乡下的事情一样。
But first of all, you will need to learn what we all try to learn in the city, to be very careful. 但是首先,你需要了解我们在城市里要努力学习的东西,要非常小心。
If you had crossed the tracks where you got off, you might have met with an accident." 如果你从你下车的地方穿过轨道,可能会遭遇车祸。”
"Oh, I'll look out for George, father," said Arthur. “噢,爸爸,我会照顾乔治的,”亚瑟说,
"You've taught me how to take care of myself, “你已经教会我如何照顾自己了,
and ever since Willie Barnes got hurt by a street car, I've been mighty careful. 而且自从威利·巴尼斯被电车伤到以来,我已经非常小心了。
George, I've got a fine program of sightseeing and fun planned for you, 乔治,我已经为你定制了一个完美的观光旅游计划,
there will be something doing all the time." 你会一直有事可做得。”
"I think I know how to look out for myself, Uncle Robert, even if I am from the country." said George. “我想我知道如何照顾自己,罗伯特叔叔,即使我来自乡下。”乔治说。
"It isn't only country boys, George, who must keep their eyes open in the city," replied his uncle. “不只是乡下男孩在城市里需要睁大眼睛注意,乔治,”叔叔回答说,
"Boys born and brought up in the city, and grown-ups, too, must look where they are going. “在城市里出生长大的男孩和成年人也必须注意。
Some of us find we can't always escape danger even when we are careful. 许多人发现即使有时非常小心,还是不能避免危险。
You'll soon get used to the city, but no matter how long you are here, 你会很快适应城市生活的,
you will always find that it pays to be on the safe side. 不管在这儿待多久,你都会发现注意安全是值得的。
'Safety First' is our motto, George, in these days of heavy street traffic." 城市交通繁忙,安全第一是我们的座右铭,乔治。” |
