LESSON 34 THE LARK
第三十四課 百靈鳥
Three boys, Dick, Sam, and Ned, went out to play in the fields, and fine fun they had.
Dick，Sam還有Ned三個男孩在田間玩耍，很開心。
As they sat down to rest for a short time, they heard a lark sing.
在他們坐下來短暫休息時，聽到一只百靈鳥在唱歌。
How well he sings!” said Dick. “He must be quite close to us, I think,” said Sam.“I should like to see him,” said Ned.
唱的多好啊！”Dick感慨道，Sam說“我覺得它離我們一定很近，”Ned接著說“我想看看它.”
There he is, then,”said Sam; “so you can soon have your wish.”
Sam說“他在那，很快你就可以實現愿望了。”
Where?”said Dick; and up he sprang, just in time to see the lark as he rose once more high in the air. See, there he is, as he sings his sweet song to the boys.
哪兒呢？”Dick快速的起身問道，就在此時他看到這只百靈鳥再一次飛向天空。看，在那兒，一邊唱著美妙的歌曲一邊向男孩飛來。
Just then Dick saw that Ned had a small stone in his hand. Dick thought that he meant to throw it at the poor lark. So he said, "Ned, do you mean to throw that stone at him?"
就在這時Dick看到Ned的手里拿著一個小石子。Dick覺得Ned想把石子扔向百靈鳥。所以就說道“Ned，你是要對百靈鳥扔石子嗎？
"Yes; why not? What harm would there be?"said Ned;“I want you to see how well I can aim.”
是啊，為什么不呢？會有什么傷害呢？”Ned回答道，“我想讓你看看我瞄的有多準。”
For shame, Ned!” said Dick.“Throw down the stone. Why should you want to kill the poor bird, that sings so sweet a song to us? If you like, I will soon show you that I can aim quite as well as you can. But I should not like to aim to do ill.” This made both Ned and Sam laugh; and Ned threw down the stone.
太丟臉了，Ned”Dick說道，“把石子扔掉。你為什么想殺死這只歌唱如此美妙的鳥兒呢？等會我給你展示我也可以瞄的像你一樣準。但我不會用它做些不好的事情。”這讓Ned和Sam都笑了，Ned也扔掉了石子。
The lark went on with his song. Ned said,“I do like to hear the lark sing; how glad I am that I did not try to kill him.”
這只百靈鳥繼續歌唱。Ned說“我喜歡聽它唱歌，我很高興我沒有試圖傷害它。”
