China seems far, far away, and its people seem very strange to us;
中國似乎是個遙遠的地方，中國人民對我們來說很陌生；
but Chinese boys and girls are very much like the boys and girls you know.
但是中國的男孩和女孩和你們認識的男孩和女孩一樣，
They love their homes and parents, have their lessons to learn, and like to playgames.
愛家，愛父母，需要上課，喜歡玩游戲。
This story tells about a game which may seem queer to you,
這個故事講述的是一個游戲，你可能覺得奇怪，
but the Chinese boys and girls who played it thought it was great fun.
但玩這個游戲的中國男孩女孩認為它很有趣。
THE BIG RAIN
大雨
"Oh, little Ting Fang, it’s cold today!" said a Chinese mother as she stood in the door of her poor little house and shivered.
“哦，小方廷，今天很冷!”一位中國母親站在破舊小房子門口顫抖著說道。
Her son, Ting Fang, stood beside her and looked out into the narrow path between his house and the other houses in Ricksha Man Alley.
她的兒子方廷站在身邊，目光打在了黃包車人胡同里一條狹窄小路，兩邊是自家房子和其他房子。
"It has rained for two whole days," he said, "and such terrible rain it is!
雨下了整整兩天，”他說，“雨下得真大！
Just like long silver needles to prick us." Ting Fang shivered, too, and tucked his hands up in his sleeves to keep them warm.
打在身上如針刺一般。”方廷也打了個寒顫，雙手插在衣袖里取暖。
