Lisa’s Loose Tooth

Frank and Lisa were visiting their grandparents. “ Get dressed and come down to breakfast. Also, find your bathing suits because we’ll be swimming at the lake, ” said Mom. Frank couldn’t find his bathing suit. “ Mom told you to pack your bathing suit, ” scolded Lisa. “ I guess you won’t be going swimming today. ”

弗兰克和丽莎正在看望他们的祖父母。 穿好衣服下来吃早餐。还有，找到你的泳衣，因为我们将在湖边游泳。”妈妈说。 弗兰克找不到他的泳衣。 妈妈叫你把泳衣收拾好，”丽莎责备道。“我想你今天不会去游泳了。”

“ Be quiet! ” said Frank. “ I can wear my shorts to swim, as long as I bring an extra pair. ” “ Lisa! Frank! Your breakfast is getting cold, ” called their grandma. “ We’re coming! ” answered Lisa. “ Found it! ” shouted Frank happily. “ Found—? Frank, this room is a mess! Why are all your clothes on the floor?” asked Mom.

安静！”弗兰克说。“我可以穿短裤游泳，只要我多带一条。” 丽莎！弗兰克!你的早餐变冷了，”他们的奶奶喊道。 我们来了！”丽莎回答。 找到了！”弗兰克高兴地喊道。 找到什么？弗兰克，这房间一团糟！为什么你的衣服都在地板上？”妈妈问。

“ He couldn’t find his bathing suit, " said Lisa. “ Frank, you must put your clothes away before you have breakfast, ” said Mom. “ Yes, Mom, ” answered Frank. “ How many pancakes can you eat?” asked Grandma at breakfast. “ I can eat three, ” said Lisa. “ Do you have maple syrup?”

他找不到他的泳衣，”丽莎说。 弗兰克，你必须在吃早餐之前把衣服收好。”妈妈说。 好的，妈妈，”弗兰克回答。 你能吃多少煎饼？”奶奶在早餐时问道。 我可以吃三个，”丽莎说。“你有枫糖浆吗？”

“ Yes, ” replied Grandpa. “ It’s real. I made it this spring. ” “ You made it? How?” asked Lisa. “ Well, it takes a lot of work. But each spring, as the weather gets warmer, the sap begins to run in the maple trees. ” “ Sap?” asked Lisa with a mouthful of pancakes.

有的，”爷爷回答。“这是真的。我是今年春天做的。” 你做的？怎么做？”丽莎问。 嗯，这需要很多工作。每年春天，随着天气变暖，枫树的树液开始流动。” 树液？”丽莎吃了一口煎饼问道。

“ Sap is tree blood, ” said Grandpa. “ Yuck, ” said Lisa. “ Syrup is made from blood! ” “ Lisa, tree blood isn’t like human blood. Tree blood, sap, is mostly water and sugar. After a long winter’s nap, a tree needs a nice long drink of sweet water. In the spring I take some of the sweet water from my maple trees and make maple syrup. ”

“树汁是树的血，”爷爷说。 “糟糕，”丽莎说。“糖浆是用血制成的！” 丽莎，树血不像人血。树汁主要是水和糖。在漫长的冬季小睡之后，一棵树需要一杯甘甜的水。 在春天，我从枫树上取一些甜水，制成枫糖浆。”

“ Are there any pancakes left for me?” asked Frank. “ Sure, there’s plenty. How many can you eat?” asked Grandma. “ I can eat three, ” said Frank. “ Pass the syrup, please. ” “ Where’s Dad?” asked Frank Oh, he took the boat to the lake thismorning to go fishing, ” answered Mom.

还有给我的煎饼吗？”弗兰克问。 当然，有很多。你能吃多少？”奶奶问。 我可以吃三个，”弗兰克说。“请把糖浆递给我。” 爸爸呢？”弗兰克问道 哦，他今天早上乘船去湖边钓鱼，”妈妈回答。
