蜜蜂小心!作者戴安娜·伯斯勒姆，插画菲利普·韦伯

One afternoon, while Jake and George were putting away the sports gear, they noticed something strange. "Look! said Jake, "What are those people doing?" The two boys went to have a closer look. "Listen!" said George, as they got close. Both the boys could hear a loud buzzing sound.

一天下午，当杰克和乔治收拾运动装备时，他们注意到一些奇怪的事情。 “看!杰克说，“那些人在干什么?”两个男孩走过去仔细看了看。 “听!”他们走近时，乔治说。 两个男孩都能听到一声响亮的嗡嗡声。

Soon they noticed a lot of bees flying together. Around and around they flew. When the boys were closer to them, the bees' buzzing sounded even louder. One boy had been stung and George tried to help him. Some of the children were afraid of the bees, so Jake took a swing at them as they flew past. "Don't hurt them!" called the Caretaker. "They are flying around looking for a place to make their new home. They don't want to hurt you."

很快，他们注意到许多蜜蜂在一起飞行。 它们飞了一圈又一圈。 当男孩们靠近它们时，蜜蜂的嗡嗡声听起来更响了。 一个男孩被蜇了，乔治试图帮助他。 有些孩子害怕蜜蜂，所以杰克在蜜蜂飞过时朝它们挥了一挥。 “别伤害他们!”看守人喊道。 “它们飞来飞去，寻找一个新家。 他们不想伤害你。”

Some of the bees were fast and they quickly flew up high onto the flagpole. The rest of the bees slowly began to follow. The bees didn't sound so loud once they were way up high. From safe inside her office, the Principal was watching the bees flying by. She quickly called a Beekeeper to come and help.

有些蜜蜂跑得很快，它们很快飞到旗杆上。 其余的蜜蜂慢慢地开始跟着。 一旦蜜蜂飞到很高的地方，它们的声音就不那么响亮了。 在安全的办公室里，校长看着蜜蜂飞过。 她赶紧叫了一个养蜂人来帮忙。

The Beekeeper came as fast as he could. He wore his special hat, special clothes and he put his special gloves on. "This is to save me from a sting." said the Beekeeper. "Now I can get even closer to the bees."

养蜂人尽快赶来了。 他戴着特殊的帽子，穿着特殊的衣服，戴上特殊的手套。 “这是为了救我不被蜇。” 养蜂人说。“现在我可以更接近蜜蜂了。”

The Beekeeper had to climb way up high to reach the bees. He climbed fast, and he quickly made it to the top of the flagpole. Once he got to the top, he carefully pushed the buzzing bees into a box. Way down low on the ground, everyone watched quietly.

养蜂人不得不爬得很高才能够到蜜蜂。 他爬得很快，很快就爬到了旗杆的顶端。 一到山顶，他就小心翼翼地把嗡嗡作响的蜜蜂推进一个盒子里。 在很低的地面上，每个人都静静地看着。
