The Wayle is a small river that cuts across the park near my home.威尔河是横穿过我家附近公园的一条小河。
I like sitting by the Wayle on fine afternoons. It was warm last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual. 我喜欢在天气晴朗的下午到河边坐坐。上星期日天气很暖和。于是我和往常一样，又去河边坐着。
Some children were playing games on the bank and there were some people rowing on the river. 河岸上有些孩子正在玩耍，河面上有些人正在划船。
Suddenly, one of the children kicked a ball very hard and it went towards a passing boat. 突然，一个孩子狠狠地踢了一脚球，球便向着一只划过来的小船飞去。
Some people on the bank called out to the man in the boat, but he did not hear them. 岸上的一些人对着小船上的人高喊，但他没有听见。
The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell into the water. 球重重地打在他身上，使他差点儿落入水中。
I turned to look at the children, but there weren't any in sight: they had all run away! 我转过头去看那些孩子，但一个也不见，全都跑了！
The man laughed when he realized what had happened. He called out to the children and threw the ball back to the bank. 当那个人明白了发生的事情时，笑了起来。他大声叫着那些孩子，把球扔回到岸上。
