A BACKWARD LOOK
內容回顧
Guillaume the flute player, King Midas and Marygold, August, and Hiawatha—do you see that you have become acquainted with some people you had never met before? You will perhaps find that your father and mother knew them years ago. It is strange how the boys and girls and men and women in stories become so well known. Almost anywhere you might go in our country you would find someone who knew of King Midas and of Hiawatha.
長笛手紀堯姆，邁達斯國王和瑪麗戈爾德，奧古斯特，還有希阿瓦塔——你意識到你已經認識了一些你以前從未見過的人嗎? 你也許會發現你的父母多年前就認識他們。奇怪的是，故事中的男孩和女孩，男人和女人怎么變得如此出名。幾乎在我們國家的任何地方，你都會發現有人知道邁達斯國王和希阿瓦塔。
As you think back over these four stories you have read, which one did you like best? Can you give some good reasons why you liked it best? What happenings in the stories can you see almost as if you had been there? If you had to choose one of these stories to tell, which one would it be? Did any of these stories teach a good lesson? Which one was it, and what was the lesson?
當你回想你讀過的這四個故事時，你最喜歡哪一個? 你能給出一些你最喜歡它的理由嗎? 故事中發生了什么?你能看到幾乎就像你去過那里一樣的情景嗎? 如果讓你從這些故事中選擇一個來講述，你會選哪個? 這些故事能讓我們學到什么嗎? 是哪一個，學到了什么？
Of course, there are many other stories you ought to read. And you will want to read them because it will be fun to do so. If you liked “The Golden Touch,” there are Hawthorne’s Tanglewood Tales and his Wonder Book. “Hiawatha’s Childhood” is only a small part of the whole poem. The Song of Hiawatha. Did you get time to read any of the other five stories in Miss Crownfield’s book The Feast of Noel? If one of your classmates were ill, and you wanted to take him some stories to read, what four or five would you choose?
當然，還有許多其他的故事你應該讀。你會想要閱讀它們，因為這樣做會很有趣。如果你喜歡《點金術》，這里有霍桑的《坦格伍德故事集》和他的奇幻小說。《海華沙的童年》只是整首詩《海華沙之歌》的一部分。你有時間讀克朗菲爾德小姐的書《諾埃爾的盛宴》中的其他五個故事嗎? 如果你的一個同學病了，你想帶他讀一些故事，你會選哪四篇還是哪五篇?
If you have already found the list of other “Stories We All Should Know” on page 432, you have had many happy hours with these books. Wouldn’t you like to tell the class some good story that you have found?
如果你已經在432頁找到了其他“我們都應該知道的故事”的列表，那么你一定在閱讀這些書的過程中度過了很多快樂的時光。你不想給全班同學講一些你發現的好故事嗎?
