乡村公路

Very far away from the city lived a farmer and his wife. There was a narrow dirt road in front of their house. On the road, there was a big hole filled with water. The hole was very deep.

离城市很远的地方住着一位农民和他的妻子。他们家门前有一条狭窄的土路。 在路上，有一个装满水的大洞。这个洞很深。

Drivers on the road didn’t know just how deep. When they drove into the hole, they could not drive out. One day, a man in a new car was driving down the road.

路上的司机不知道有多深。他们把车开进洞里，却开不出来了。 一天，一个人开着一辆新车在路上行驶。

He noticed the hole with the water, but he didn’t think it was very deep. He drove into the hole, and his car became stuck. The man saw the farmer on his tractor, working in the field. He waved to the farmer.

他注意到了那个有水的洞，但他不认为它很深。他开车进了洞，他的车被卡住了。 那人看见农夫在拖拉机上，在地里干活。他向农夫挥手。

The farmer drove over to the man in the new car. “ Is there a problem?” asked the farmer. “ Yes, ” said the man. “ My car is stuck in this hole. Can you help me?”

农夫把车开到新车上的人跟前。 “有问题吗?”农夫问。“是的，”那人说。“我的车卡在这个洞里了。你能帮帮我吗?”

“ Maybe, ” said the farmer, “ but I’m very busy. ” “ If you help me, I’ll pay you, ” said the man. “ Okay, ” said the farmer.

“也许吧，”农夫说，“但我很忙。” “如果你帮我，我就付钱给你，”那个人说。 “好吧，”农夫说。
