Stratford-upon-Avon
艾汶河畔的斯特拉福鎮
It was a sunny day in October 1579 when I first met Will,just outside Stratford,near a big field of apple trees.
我第一次遇見威爾是在1579年10月的一天。那天,陽光明媚,就在斯特拉福鎮外一座大蘋果園附近,
I saw a boy up in one of the trees.He had red hair and looked about two years older than me.
我看見有棵蘋果樹上坐著一位小男孩,長著紅棕色頭發,看模樣大概大我兩歲。
What are you doing up there?I called.
你在上邊干什么?我叫道。
Just getting a few apples,he said,smiling
摘蘋果。他笑著答道。
Those are Farmer Nash's apples,I said,and he'll send his dogs after you if he sees you.
那可是納什農場主的蘋果,我說,如果他發現了,就要放狗咬你的。
Mr Nash has gone to market,the boy said.Come on!They're good apples.
納什先生去集市了,男孩說道,來吧!蘋果不錯。
The next minute I was up the tree with him.
一會兒我也上了樹。
