Mrs. Bean
比恩夫人
Mrs Bean and her class were looking at some plans. They were going to build their own school garden. Wow! It looks great! said Asif. Can we all help to build it? Yes! said Mrs Bean. But first of all we have to raise money to pay for the garden.
比恩夫人和班上的孩子们正在看几份规划图。 他们打算建造一座属于自己的校园花园。 哇!看起来太棒啦!阿西夫说。 我们大家都能帮忙建造吗? 当然可以!比恩夫人说。 不过首先我们得筹钱来支付建造花园的费用。
Let's brainstorm some ideas, said Mrs Bean. She wrote, Fundraising ideas on the flip chart. Don't all shout at once, she warned. I want to put everyone's ideas on the chart. The children put up their hands. We could have a talent show, said Megan. Asif shook his head. We did that last year, he said. Mrs Bean crossed it out.
咱们一起来头脑风暴想想办法吧,比恩夫人说。 她在翻页白板上写下了“筹款主意”几个字。 大家别一起喊,她提醒道。 我要把每个人的想法都写在白板上。 孩子们纷纷举起了手。 我们可以办一场才艺秀,梅根说。 阿西夫摇了摇头。 我们去年已经办过啦,他说。 比恩夫人把这个主意划掉了。
We could have a sponsored car wash said Damar. No we couldn't shouted Domina. We all got wet last time we tried that Mrs Bean crossed it out. How about a quiz asked us Eve. No way I hate quizzes said Megan. Mrs Bean crossed that out as well.
我们可以办一场赞助洗车活动,达马尔说。 不行不行,多米娜大喊道。 上次我们尝试洗车的时候所有人都淋湿了,比恩夫人把这个主意划掉了。 办个知识竞赛怎么样?伊芙问道。 绝对不行,我最讨厌知识竞赛了,梅根说。 比恩夫人也把这个主意划掉了。
The children had lots of ideas and Mrs. Bean wrote them all down. But every idea got crossed out. Finally, Mrs. Bean put her pen down. Oh dear, she said, none of our ideas will work. She went and sat at her desk and stared at the ceiling. The children sat at their desks and stared at Mrs. Bean. Asif put his hand up. What do you think we should do, Mrs. Bean?
孩子们想出了好多主意,比恩夫人都一一记了下来。 可每个主意最后都被划掉了。 最后,比恩夫人放下了笔。 哎呀,她说,咱们的主意没有一个行得通的。 她走回自己的办公桌坐下,盯着天花板发呆。 孩子们坐在各自的座位上,看着比恩夫人。 阿西夫举起了手。 您觉得我们该怎么办呀,比恩夫人?
Mrs. Bean thought and thought. Er...um... I'm sorry, she said, I can't think of a single idea. She looked out at the playground. We'll never raise enough money to build our school garden if we don't have a good idea, she said. Arceef looked at Mrs. Bean. He had never seen her looking sad before. Mrs. Bean was the best teacher in the whole school. This isn't fair, thought Arceef. Mrs. Bean shouldn't be sad. We have to think of a good idea.
比恩夫人想了又想。 呃……嗯…… 对不起,她说,我一个主意都想不出来了。 她望向外面的操场。 要是想不出好主意,我们永远都筹不够建校园花园的钱,她说。 阿尔西夫看着比恩夫人。 他以前从来没见过她这么难过的样子。 比恩夫人是整个学校最好的老师。 这不公平,阿尔西夫想。 比恩夫人不应该难过的。 我们一定要想出一个好主意。
