Unit 21 Missing
第21單元 失蹤
Mr. Nicolas waited. All the other kids were gone. Where was his son, Mark? It was 3:30. Mark got out of the school by 3:00. He was getting impatient. He went into the school to see if anyone has seen Mark.
尼可拉斯先生還在繼續等著，其他所有小孩都走了，但是他兒子馬克呢？已經下午三點半了，馬克應該三點就放學了。他開始有點不耐煩，便走進學校看看有沒有人看到馬克。
His teacher said that he left with the other kids. Mr. Nicolas began to panic. He checked the school grounds. One of the other kids said they saw Mark get into a car with a strange man. Who was the man? Mr. Nicolas called the police. He said his son was missing.
他老師說他是和其他孩子一起離開的，這一來尼可拉斯先生開始慌了。他到學校操場察看時，有幾個人小孩說他們看到馬克和一個陌生人進入一輛車子里。那個人是誰呢？尼可拉斯先生趕緊報警，說他兒子失蹤了。
Soon, everyone was looking for Mark. They checked all the parks, the malls, and the bus stations. He was nowhere. Mr. Nicolas went home, every saddened by the events of the day. When he walked in the door, he saw Mark. "Dad, where have you been all day?" Mr. Nicolas was shocked. "Mark, where have you been all day? I was worried about you."
不久之后，大家便動員起來尋找馬克；他們找遍了所有的公園、購物中心和公車站，但是都不見馬克的蹤影。最后尼可拉斯先生只好先回家，今天發生的事情讓他覺得很難過；結果他一進門卻看見馬克。“爸，你一整天都跑哪里去了？”尼可拉斯先生大吃一驚。“馬克，那你一整天又都跑哪里去了？我好擔心你。”
"Oh," said MArk. "Mr. Smith, the next door neighbor, gave me a ride home. I have been here all day." Mr. Nicolas hugged his son. He was glad Mark was safe.
“哦，”馬克說：“是隔壁鄰居史密斯先生順路載我回家啦。我一整天都在這里。”尼可拉斯先生緊緊抱住他兒子，很高興馬克平安無事。
