Our cousin Charlie came to visit us. He lives in a country far, far away. We went to the airport to meet him. Charlie had never been to our country. We wanted to show him all the fun things to do where we live.

我们的表弟查理来看我们。 他住在一个很远很远的国家。 我们去机场接他。 查理从未去过我们的国家。 我们想让他看看我们住的地方有什么好玩的事。

On the first day, we went to the beach. Charlie liked swimming in the sea and jumping through the big waves. He helped us make a sand castle. "I would like to learn to ride on a surfboard," he said.

第一天，我们去了海滩。 查理喜欢在海里游泳，在大浪中跳跃。 他帮我们做了一个沙堡。 “我想学骑冲浪板，”他说。

On the second day, we went to the park to watch a game of soccer. We cheered when the players got a goal. Charlie had never had hot dogs before. "I would like to play for that team," he told us.

第二天，我们去公园看了一场足球赛。 队员们进球时，我们欢呼起来。 查理以前从未吃过热狗。 “我想为那支球队效力，”他告诉我们。

On the third day, we took Charlie high up in the mountains. He had never played in snow before. He helped us make a snowman, and we had a snowball fight. "I would like to learn how to ski," said Charlie.

第三天，我们把查理带到山上。 他以前从未在雪中玩过。 他帮我们堆了一个雪人，我们打雪仗。 “我想学滑雪，”查理说。

On the fourth day, we took Charlie to the lake to catch some fish. Then he helped us sail our model boat. We watched a big sailboat going by. "I'd like to learn how to sail like that," Charlie told us.

第四天，我们带查理去湖边抓鱼。 然后他帮我们驾驶模型船。 我们看到一艘大帆船经过。 查理告诉我们:“我想学怎样那样驾船。”
