It was Papa's birthday. Sam and Jesse wanted to give Papa a present. Let's give him a present he will love, Sam said. What can we give him, Jesse asked.

这天是爸爸的生日。 萨姆和杰西想给爸爸送一份礼物。 萨姆说：“我们送他一份他肯定会喜欢的礼物吧。” 杰西问：“我们能送他什么呢？”

We have to be quiet or he will hear us, Sam said. So Sam and Jesse went outside. Let's get him a rocket ship, Jesse said. We can all blast off into space. Jesse loved rockets.

萨姆说：“我们得小声点，不然他会听见的。” 于是萨姆和杰西走到了屋外。 杰西说：“我们给他买一艘火箭飞船吧。” 我们全家都可以坐火箭飞去太空。 杰西可喜欢火箭了。

A rocket costs too much, Sam said. I'd like to get him a race car. Sam loved race cars. How much does a race car cost? Jessie asked. A race car costs a lot, Sam said.

萨姆说：“火箭太贵啦。” 我想给他买一辆赛车。 萨姆可喜欢赛车了。 一辆赛车要多少钱呀？ 杰西问道。 萨姆说：“赛车也很贵哦。”

I have two dimes, Jessie said. Sam had a penny and a quarter. We don't have very much money, Sam said.

杰西说：“我有两枚十美分硬币。” 萨姆有一枚一美分和一枚二十五美分硬币。 萨姆说：“我们的钱不多呢。”

Can we get him a computer? Jesse asked. A computer costs a lot of money, said Sam. I can give him my basketball, said Sam. It's too old, Jesse said. And Papa doesn't love basketball, you love it.

杰西问：“我们能给他买一台电脑吗？” 萨姆说：“电脑要花好多钱呢。” 萨姆说：“我可以把我的篮球送给他。” 杰西说：“它太旧啦。” 而且爸爸不喜欢篮球，喜欢篮球的是你呀。
