第1單元 吃餡餅比賽
The school band had to raise money for their annual field trip. Some years they had a garage sale, some years a bake sale. This year they were going to do something different. They were going to have a pie-eating contest. Everyone paid five dollars to enter the pie eating contest and the person to eat the most pies won a prize!
學(xué)校樂(lè)隊(duì)為了一年一度的實(shí)地旅行演出，必須募集資金。過(guò)去有幾年他們舉辦了車庫(kù)售物，有幾年則是賣(mài)各種烤面包。但今年他們想來(lái)點(diǎn)不一樣的，他們要辦個(gè)吃餡餅比賽。要參加吃餡餅比賽的人必須付五塊錢(qián)，然后吃最多餡餅的人就可以贏得獎(jiǎng)品!
Thekids at school called Joe “Piggy”. It was not very nice. They called him Piggy because he could eat more than any other kid. When Piggy heard about the pie-eating contest he was sure he could win. He paid his five dollars.
學(xué)校的孩童都叫喬“小豬”，實(shí)在很不好聽(tīng)。他們會(huì)叫他小豬是因?yàn)樗热魏我粋€(gè)小孩都還要會(huì)吃。當(dāng)小豬聽(tīng)到吃餡餅比賽的消息時(shí)，他確定自己會(huì)贏，于是付了五塊錢(qián)去參加比賽。
When thejudge yelled, “start”, everyone had 15 minutes to eat pies. Joe started withapple pie. Then he had a blueberry pie, and then another apple. By his fourth pie he was feeling full, but the boy next to him was already finished with his fifth.

He had to keep eating. The time was running out. He stuffed down a custard pie and then two more blueberry pies all within five minutes. Just in time to win the contest.
他必須繼續(xù)吃才行，不然時(shí)間快要到了。他在最后五分鐘內(nèi)塞進(jìn)了一個(gè)蛋奶餡餅和兩個(gè)藍(lán)莓餡餅，剛好及時(shí)在這場(chǎng)比賽中獲勝。
