牛津书虫系列《五个孩子和沙精》Chapter3 附中英双语文本

“我们上那儿去是因为我们想看看那是什么样子。”西里尔说，“可是我们下不来了，因为门被锁上了。”关于翅膀的事他当然什么都没说。
' But who locked the door？'the vicar asked.
“可谁锁的门？”牧师问。
' We don't know，'Jane answered. ' But we're not telling you everything. '
“不知道。”简说，“可我们不会把一切都告诉你的。”
'Ah！ There's a friend in it， then，'said the vicar's servant man， who was called Beale.
“啊！那么是有个朋友参与其中吧。”牧师的男仆说。他叫比伊尔。
' Yes， but we can't tell you about him，' said Anthea， think-ing of the Psammead. ' We really are very sorry， and please，can we go home now？ '
“是的，可我们不能告诉你他的事。”安西娅说，想起了赛米德。“我们真的非常抱歉；还有，请问，我们可以回家了吗？”
The vicar still did not understand，but he was a kind man， so he sent the children home in a carriage with his servant. Martha，of course， was very angry with them， but Mr Beale explained everything very well. He was a good-looking young man with a nice smile，and after a while Martha forgot to be angry.
牧师仍然不明白，可是他是个好心的人，所以他让仆人用马车送孩子们回家。马莎当然十分生他们的气，可是比伊尔先生把事情解释得很好。他是个漂亮的、脸上带着愉快的笑容的青年，不一会儿马莎就忘了生气了。
So the day ended happily after all.
所以，这一天总算快乐地结束了。
