第 2 课:Too Difficult To Spell 太难拼写

A policeman returned to his police station one evening and reported to the sergeant that he had found an old car with no license plates. 一天傍晚,一个警察回到警察局,向警官报告说他发现了一辆没有牌照的旧汽车。

“ Where was it? ” asked the sergeant. “ In Ecclesiastes Street, beyond the bridge,” answered the policeman. “车在哪里?”警官问。“在 Ecclesiastes 大街,在桥的那边。”警察回答。

The sergeant opened the report book and began to write.警官打开报告本开始记录。

He asked the policeman how to spell the name of the street, but he was not sure whether the spelling was correct. 他问警察如何拼写那条大街的名字,但是他吃不准他的拼写是否正确。

At last he decided the name was too difficult for him to spell. So he ordered the policeman to write the report.后他觉得这个名字太难,他拼不出来。所以,他命令警察来写报告。

The policeman also tried to spell the name of the street, but he couldn't,either.最警察拼了半天,也拼不出来。

Then the policeman put his helmet on and began to walk out slowly.警察戴上他的头盔,慢慢地往外走。

“ Where are you going? ” the sergeant asked. “你到哪里去?”警官问。

“ Back to Ecclesiastes Street,” answered the policeman. “ I'm going to push the car round the corner into Green Street.”“回到 Ecclesiastes 大街去,”警察回答,“我要把那辆车推到 Green 大街的拐角上去。”
