Chapter 1 Earth Day "Earth Day is coming," said Miss Winkle. "How can we keep the Earth green?" "We can paint it green," said Katie Woo. "But we will need lots of paint."

第一章 地球日 “地球日就要到啦。”温克尔老师说。 “我们要怎么才能让地球一直绿油油的呀？” “我们可以把它刷成绿色呀。”凯蒂·吴说。 “不过我们得要好多好多油漆才行。”

"That is not what I mean," said Miss Winkle. "I want to keep the Earth green by taking care of the plants and trees. They need clean air and water." "I know what to do," said JoJo. "We can fix leaks in our sinks. Then we won't waste water." "That's a great idea," said Miss Winkle.

“我不是这个意思哦。”温克尔老师说。 “我想保护植物和树木，这样地球才能一直绿油油的。 它们需要干净的空气和水呀。” “我知道该怎么做啦！”乔乔说。 “我们可以把家里水槽漏水的地方修好。 这样我们就不会浪费水啦。” “这真是个好主意！”温克尔老师说。

"We can reuse things," said Pedro. "My little brother sleeps in my old crib." "I want to do something great for Earth Day," said Katie. "I'm sure you will," said Miss Winkle. "I know what to do!" said Katie. "I'll have a yard sale. My friends can bring things for people to reuse. That will make the Earth happy."

“我们可以重复利用东西呀。”佩德罗说。 “我弟弟现在睡的就是我以前用的婴儿床。” “我想为地球日做件特别棒的事。”凯蒂说。 “我相信你一定可以的。”温克尔老师说。 “我知道该做什么啦！”凯蒂说。 “我要办一场庭院旧货义卖。 我的朋友们可以把东西带来，让大家重复利用。 这样地球肯定会很开心的。”

Chapter 2 Yard Sale Today! On Earth Day, Katie put her old toys on the lawn. "Are you sure you don't want them?" asked her mom. "I'm sure!" said Katie. JoJo brought a teapot without a top and a broken lamp. "Who will want those?" wondered Katie.

第二章 庭院义卖开始啦！ 地球日当天，凯蒂把她的旧玩具都摆到了草坪上。 “你确定这些玩具都不要了吗？”妈妈问她。 “我确定呀！”凯蒂说。 乔乔带来了一个缺了盖子的茶壶，还有一盏坏了的台灯。 “谁会要这些东西呀？”凯蒂心里纳闷。

Pedro brought torn jeans and books. "Nobody will want those either," worried Katie. Soon the first shopper arrived. It was Miss Winkle! She told Pedro, "I can turn your jeans into a tote bag for my books."

佩德罗带来了破牛仔裤和旧书。 “这些也不会有人要的吧。”凯蒂有点担心。 很快，第一位顾客来了。 是温克尔老师！ 她对佩德罗说：“我可以把你的牛仔裤改成手提袋，用来装我的书。”
