BETSY FINDS A WAY
貝琪有辦法
Dorothy Canfield Fisher
作者：桃樂茜·甘菲德·費(fèi)希爾
Mrs. Fisher is one of our best story-tellers today. She writes stories for grown-up people and for boys and girls, too. Here is one of her stories. It is about a little girl who, like Paul Seabury, just had to find a way to do something.
費(fèi)雪太太是如今最會講故事的人之一。她為成年人寫故事，也為男孩和女孩寫故事。這是她的一個故事。故事講述的是一個小女孩，像保羅·西布里一樣，不得不想辦法做點(diǎn)什么。
Betsy's birthday
貝琪的生日
Betsy was to celebrate her tenth birthday by going to Woodford to the County Fair. Aunt and Uncle Putney, with whom she lived, weren’t going to the Fair that year. But the Wendells, on the next farm, said they could make room for the two little girls; for of course Betsy’s little friend, Molly, was going along.
貝琪要去伍德福德參加縣博覽會，慶祝她的十歲生日。那一年，和她住在一起的帕特尼姨媽和姨父都不去趕集。但是隔壁農(nóng)場的溫德爾一家說，他們可以給兩個小女孩騰出地方來；因為貝特西的小朋友莫莉當(dāng)然也去了。
When they arrived at the Fair, the two little girls were allowed to wander about as they pleased until noon, and they thoroughly enjoyed the many sights and sounds and smells of their first County Fair. At noon they met the Wendells in front of Industrial Hall for a picnic lunch. As they ate, the children talked happily of the merrygo- round, the balloon-seller, and the popcorn stands. The Wendells had met some cousins who wished to ride home with them.
當(dāng)她們到達(dá)集市時，兩個小女孩得到允許隨意逛到中午，她們盡情地欣賞著第一次鄉(xiāng)村集市上的許多景色、聲音和氣味。中午，他們在工業(yè)大廳前會見了溫德爾一家，一起去野餐。吃的時候，孩子們高興地談?wù)撝螛讽椖?、賣氣球的人和爆米花攤。溫德爾夫婦遇到了幾個表親，他們想和他們一起騎車回家。
