Catching Flies

Catching Flies.

捉苍蝇呀。

Rise and shine. I am usually late. This is because I hate getting up in the morning. But there is a time when I rise and shine. Every week I'm out to play early, on a Saturday!

快起床啦。我平常总迟到，因为我超讨厌早上起床。 不过有个时候我会爬得倍儿精神，每周六我都早早出门去玩！

On Saturdays I'm up at four to go with Bill who lives next door to market. And while I'm doing what I can, unloading crates, he takes the van to park it. There's heaps of grapefruits, bigger suns, and oranges and purple plums and berries. Raspberries, strawberries, damsons, lots of peaches, pears, ripe apricots and cherries.

周六我四点就起床，跟住在隔壁的比尔一起去集市。 我尽全力帮忙卸货箱的时候，他就去把小货车停好。 堆得满满的有像小太阳的大西柚，还有橙子、紫李子和各种浆果。 有树莓、草莓、西洋李子，还有好多桃子、梨子、熟杏子和樱桃哦。

I love arranging nectarines and polishing their shiny skins for selling. But best of all, I like the sound when market traders all around start yelling. Then we're busy all day long and Bill says I'm his number one best mate. And even when we pack away, I'm thinking of next market day. Can't wait!

我最爱把油桃摆得整整齐齐，把它们亮闪闪的外皮擦得干干净净好卖出去。 不过最棒的是，我喜欢听周围集市小贩们吆喝的声音。 接下来我们要忙一整天，比尔说我是他最棒的小伙伴。 就连我们收摊的时候，我都在想着下一个集市日啦。 我都等不及啦！

Out in the playground. Out in the playground, early in the morning, see the children standing, all in a row. Along comes a teacher, blows upon a whistle, and in they go. Out in the playground, later in the morning, see the children standing, all in a row. Waiting for the teacher to start the running races. And off they go!

在操场上呀。 大清早的操场上，小朋友们站得整整齐齐排成一排。 老师走过来吹了声哨子，大家就都进教室啦。 上午晚些时候的操场上，小朋友们又站得整整齐齐排成一排。 等着老师宣布跑步比赛开始。 大家嗖地一下冲了出去！

Out in the playground, after school is over, see the children standing all in a row. Watching the netball, there's the final whistle, and home they go. Out in the playground, now the day is over, see the puppy standing, watering a rose. Along comes his owner, calls him over to her, and off he goes.

放学啦，操场上的小朋友们站得整整齐齐排成一排。 看完无挡板篮球比赛，终场哨声一响，大家就都回家啦。 一天结束啦，操场上有只小狗狗站着，正给玫瑰花“浇水”呢。 它的主人走过来喊它过去，小狗狗就蹦蹦跳跳地跑走啦。
