背诵为王第一册 Unit73 Ellen’s Day

One day Mrs. Smith and her daughter, Ellen, went visiting a
family. There were six children. Ellen felt that she was going
to have a very good day.

The twins, Paul and Pauline, were Ellen's age, seven years
old. Bob and Ann were older. There was the little daughter,
Ruth, who was six, and the baby, who was just crawling around
on the floor.

Ellen ran and jumped and rolled a hoop with the children. Paul
took some fishing rods, and they all went down to the brook to
fish. Bob and Paul taught Ellen how to fish. It was fun, but
Ellen didn's catch any fish. Her clothes were wet, but it
wasn's Ellen's fault because children all get splashed when
they fish.

The five children went back to the house, but they paused to
rest several times.

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!

艾伦的一天

一天，史密斯太太和她女儿，艾伦，去拜访一户人家。那里有六个孩子。艾伦知道她会度过很快乐的一天。
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。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。

艾伦和那些孩子们一起跑、一起跳、一起滚铁环。保罗拿来一些钓鱼竿，他们都去小溪边钓鱼。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。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。

五个孩子回家了，但是他们停下来休息了几次。
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！
