Lesson 22: The Giant (I)
第二十二課：巨人（一）
Once upon a time, there was a large, lovely garden.
從前，這有一大片美麗的花園。
Its grass was soft and green. Its trees were filled with singing birds.
草地翠綠柔軟。樹上滿是鳥兒鳴唱。
Every afternoon, children would play in the garden after school.
每天下午，孩子們放學后在花園里玩耍。
They ran in the grass and climbed the trees.
他們在草地上跑，爬樹。
They loved to listen to the singing of the birds. How happy they were!
他們喜歡聽鳥兒鳴唱。他們多么幸福?。?/div>
One day the children were playing in the garden when a giant appeared.
有一天，孩子們正在玩耍時，有個巨人出現了。
"What are you doing here?" the giant cried in a loud voice.
"你們在這里干什么？"巨人大聲喊道。
"This is my garden! You must leave immediately!" The children were frightened.
"這是我的花園！你們必須馬上離開！"孩子們嚇壞了。
They ran away and dared not come back.
他們跑開了，再不敢回來了。
The next day, the giant built a high wall around his garden and put a notice on a board:
第二天，巨人圍著花園建起一堵高墻，豎起一塊
DO NOT ENTER! The poor children no longer had a place to play.
"禁止入內！"的牌子。可憐的孩子們再也沒有地方玩耍了。
Summer turned to fall and fall turned to winter.
夏天過后，秋天到了；秋天過后，冬天來了。
When spring came, flowers blossomed and the birds began to sing across the land.
當春天來臨時，大地上花兒綻放，鳥兒開始唱歌。
But in the giant's garden, it was still winter.
但是在巨人的花園里，仍然還是冬天（的景象）。
The green grass was covered with snow, and the cold winds kept the birds away.
綠草仍然被雪覆蓋，寒風刮走了鳥兒們。
"I don't understand why spring is so late coming to my garden this year," said the giant.
"我不明白為什么今年花園的春天來得這么晚？"巨人說道。
He felt sad as he looked through the window at his frozen, white garden.
當他透過窗戶看到冰凍雪白的花園時，他感到十分難過。
One morning as the giant was lying awake in his bed, he heard lovely music coming through the window.
一個清晨，當巨人醒著躺在床上的時候，他聽見窗外飄來優美的音樂。
He thought it must be the king's musicians passing by.
他想一定是國王的樂師們（從外面）經過。
"Perhaps spring has come at last," he said as he jumped out of his bed and looked outside.
"或許，春天最終還是來了。"他跳下床，看著窗外。
What did the giant see?
巨人看到了什么？
