A Good Turn

善举

Chip had joined the Cub Scouts. Nadim was a leader of a patrol called a Six. They were playing a team game. They had to pick up blocks using an elastic band and four bits of string.

奇普加入了童子军。 纳迪姆是一个叫做六人组的巡逻队的队长。 他们在玩团队游戏。 他们必须用橡皮筋和四根绳子把积木捡起来。

"We must all keep the tension the same," said Chip, "so pull together." The Cubs carefully placed their elastic band round a block and picked it up. They had to make a tower of six blocks. The first team to build one was the winner.

“我们必须保持同样的张力，”奇普说，“所以要齐心协力。” 小熊们小心地把橡皮筋绕在一块积木上，把它捡了起来。 他们必须用六个街区搭一座塔。 第一个造出来的队伍就是赢家。

Just as they were about to place the last block on their tower, it toppled over. "Ah well, we came in last," said Nadim. "It's taking part that counts," said Wilf, "but I still wanted to win."

就在他们准备把最后一块积木放在塔上的时候，塔倒了。 “啊，好吧，我们是最后一个。”纳迪姆说。 “参与才是最重要的，”威尔夫说，“但我还是想赢。”

The Cub pack leader, Akela, called the pack together. "Tonight is special," he said. "We are going to invest Wilf and Chip and they are going to make their Cub Scout Promise."

幼崽群的首领阿克拉把狼群召集在一起。 “今晚很特别，”他说。 “我们将投资威尔夫和奇普，他们将兑现他们的童子军承诺。”
