54. Helping an Old Woman 幫助老奶奶
Jane and Peter, her younger brother, come from America. They are now studying in China because their parents are working here. They learn what Chinese children learn in school and they like to talk in Chinese.
珍妮和她弟弟彼得來自美國,由于他們的父母來中國工作,他們也來中國讀書。他們在學校與中國學生一起學習,他們喜歡講中文。
One day on the way back home they saw an old woman walking in front of them. She was carrying a basket filled with oranges in her right hand, and a stick, in her left hand. 一天,在回家的路上,他們看見一個老太太在前面走,右手提著一藍橘子,左手拿著拐杖。
Suddenly, the old woman slipped and fell on a piece of banana skin someone had left carelessly on the ground. When Jane and Peter saw what had happened, they looked at each other. "What should we do?" Peter was quicker than his sister. He burst out in Chinese, "Learn from Lei Feng!" They rushed up to the old woman. Peter helped her up while Jane picked up the oranges and put them back in the basket. The old woman thanked Jane and Peter. She also praised them for being such helpful children.
突然老人踩在一塊丟在地上的香蕉皮滑倒了。珍妮和彼得看著所發(fā)生的一切,互相看了一眼,“我們該怎么辦?” 彼得比他姐姐快,用中文沖口而出:“向雷鋒學習!”他們跑向前,彼得幫老人站起來,珍妮揀起地上的橘子放回籃子。老太太感謝珍妮和彼得,稱贊他們是助人為樂的好孩子。
