「英語輕鬆學」之《The Snow Day》下雪的一天育兒頭條網

繪本賞析

小男孩彼得，一早醒來發現昨夜下了雪，興奮地跑到雪地裡玩各種遊戲，他堆了一個雪人和一個天使。回家前，還把在院子裡捏的雪球放進口袋裡，想留到明天再玩。回家後彼得泡在浴缸裡，還忍不住一再回味，於是睡前去翻口袋，找尋帶回來的雪，口袋卻是空的，小雪球不見了，讓他很失望。上床後又夢到太陽溶融了所有的雪。但他一覺醒來，窗外卻正在下著雪。

One winter morning Peter woke up and looked out the window. Snow had fallen during the night. It covered everything as far as he could see.

一個冬天的早晨，彼得醒來，昨晚下了一場雪，他一眼望去，到處都被雪覆蓋了。

After breakfast he put on his snowsuit and ran outside. The snow was piled up very high along the street to make a path for walking.

吃完早餐，他穿上防雪衣，跑到屋外，路的兩旁堆滿了高高的雪，只空出一條可以走的路。

Crunch, crunch, crunch, his feet sank into the snow. He walked with his toes pointing out, like this:

咔嚓，咔嚓，他的腳陷進雪地裡。他一下子腳趾朝外走，像這樣:

He walked with his toes pointing in, like that:

他一下子腳趾朝內走，像這樣:

Then he dragged his feet s-l-o-w-l-y to make tracks.

然後，他拖著腳，慢慢地，在雪地上劃線。

And he found something sticking out of the snow that made a new track.

然後，他發現雪地裡露出一樣東西，拿它畫出了一條新的線。

It was a stick --- a stick that was just right for smacking a snow-covered tree.

哦，是一根樹枝。樹枝正好可以用來拍打樹上的雪。

Down fell the snow --- plop!--- on top of Peter's head.

雪掉下來了，啪，掉在彼得的頭上

He thought it would be fun to join the big boys in their snowball fight, but he knew he wasn't old enough --- not yet.

他覺得和大哥哥們打雪仗一定很好玩，但他知道自己還不夠大。

So he made a smiling snowman, and he made angels.

於是他做了個微笑的雪人,又做了個天使。

He pretended he was a mountain-climber.

他假裝自己是個登山者。

He climbed up a great big tall heaping mountain of snow --- and slid all the way down.

他爬上一座又高又大的雪山,再一路滑下來

He picked up a handful of snow --- and another, and still another. He packed it round and firm and put the snowball in his pocket for tomorrow. Then he went into his warm house.

他抓起一把雪，一把，在一把，他把雪壓成圓圓硬硬的雪球，放進口袋裡，留著明天玩。然後他回到溫暖的家裡。

He told his mother all about his adventures while she took off his wet socks.

當媽媽給他脫溼的襪子時，他把這段冒險旅程全部告訴了她。
