Lesson 117

- 课文：When my husband was going into the dining room this morning, he dropped some coins on the floor. There were coins everywhere. We looked for them, but we could not find them all. While we were having breakfast, our little boy, Tommy, found two small coins on the floor. He put them both into his mouth. We both tried to get the coins, but it was too late. Tommy had already swallowed them! Later that morning, when I was doing the housework, my husband phoned me from the office. 'How's Tommy?' he asked. 'I don't know,' I answered, 'Tommy's been to the toilet three times this morning, but I haven't had any change yet!'

- 翻译：今天早晨我丈夫走进饭厅时，把一些硬币掉在地上了。到处都是硬币。我们找了起来，但没能把它们全部找到。正当我们吃早饭时，我们的小男孩汤米在地上找到了两枚小硬币。他把这两枚硬币全都放进了嘴里。我们俩都试图把硬币弄出来，但太晚了。汤米已经把它们咽了下去！那天上午的晚些时候，当我正在做家务时，我丈夫从办公室打来电话。“汤米怎么样？”他问。“我不知道，”我回答说，“汤米今天上午已经去了三次厕所了，但我还没看到硬币呢！”

Lesson 118

Lesson 119

- 课文：Do you like stories? I want to tell you a true story. It happened to a friend of mine a year ago. While my friend, George, was reading in bed, two thieves climbed into his kitchen. After they had entered the house, they went into the dining room. It was very dark, so they turned on a torch. Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them. "What's up? What's up?" someone called. The thieves dropped the torch and ran away as quickly as they could. George heard the noise and came downstairs quickly. He turned on the light, but he couldn't see anyone. The thieves had already gone. But George's parrot, Henry, was still there. "What's up, George?" it called. 'Nothing, Henry,' George said and smiled. 'Go back to sleep.'

- 翻译：你喜欢听故事吗？我要告诉你一个真实的故事。这是一年前发生在我的一个朋友身上的事。当我的朋友乔治在床上看书时，两个小偷爬进了他的厨房。他们进到屋里后，走进了饭厅。饭厅很暗，于是他们打开了手电筒。突然他们听到身后有声音。“什么事？什么事？”有人叫着。小偷扔下了手电筒，飞快地逃走了。乔治听到了响声，迅速地下了楼。他开了灯，但不见一个人。小偷逃走了。但乔治的鹦鹉亨利仍在那里。“什么事，乔治？”它叫着。“没事，亨利。”乔治笑着说，“接着睡觉吧。”

Lesson 120

- 课文：It was Sunday. I never get up early on Sundays. I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime. Last Sunday I got up very late. I looked out of the window. It was dark outside. 'What a day!' I thought. 'It's raining again.' Just then, the telephone rang. It was my aunt Lucy. 'I've just arrived by train,' she said. 'I'm coming to see you.' 'But I'm still having breakfast,' I said. 'What are you doing?' she asked. 'I'm having breakfast,' I repeated. 'Dear me,' she said. 'Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!'

- 翻译：那是个星期天。星期天我从不早起。我有时一直睡到吃午饭的时候。上个星期天我起得很晚。我向窗外望去。外面一片昏暗。“鬼天气！”我想，“又下雨了。”正在这时，电话铃响了。是我的姑母露西打来的。“我刚下火车，”她说，“我这就来看你。”“但我还在吃早饭呢，”我说。“你在干什么？”她问。“我正在吃早饭，”我又说了一遍。“天哪，”她说，“你总是起得这么晚吗？现在已经一点钟了！”
