Arthur 亞瑟 D.W. 朵拉

前情提要：舒老師帶著亞瑟和同學(xué)們到博物館參觀。在館內(nèi)，亞瑟急急忙忙地找衛(wèi)生間，卻誤入了印第安展廳……

“I’m in big trouble,” said Arthur, “if I don’t get out of here fast.”

He ran out the door and left the Indians behind him.

“我得趕緊離開(kāi)這里，不然就麻煩了?！?/p>

亞瑟對(duì)自己說(shuō)。

他飛快地跑出門(mén)，離開(kāi)了那些印第安人模型。

“What’s so funny?” asked Mr. Ratburn.

He turned around and saw only Indians makingbasketsandarrows.

“什么事那么好笑？”舒老師問(wèn)。

他轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身，只看見(jiàn)正在編籃子和做箭頭的印第安人模型。

Arthurcreptalong the dark hall to the next door.

“I sure hope this is the boys’ bathroom,” hesighed.

亞瑟在走廊里摸黑朝前走，走到又一扇門(mén)前。

他自言自語(yǔ)地說(shuō)：“但愿這一定是衛(wèi)生間。”

And Arthur’s teacher was telling his class all about it.

Everyone laughed when they saw Arthur.

Mr. Ratburn turned to see what they were laughing at.

But not before Arthur became a Pilgrim boy.

舒老師正在外面給其他同學(xué)講解這一時(shí)期的歷史。

同學(xué)們看見(jiàn)亞瑟，又哄笑起來(lái)。

舒老師轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身去看大家到底在笑什么，可惜亞瑟已經(jīng)假扮成一個(gè)清教徒小孩兒了。

When Mr. Ratburn’s class left, Arthurtook offthe Pilgrim hat.

“I’ve got to go NOW!” he said. He leftin a hurry.

直到舒老師和同學(xué)們都走開(kāi)了，亞瑟才摘下清教徒的帽子。

“我得趕緊離開(kāi)這兒！”他邊說(shuō)邊慌慌張張地跑了出去。
