6 The New Pony

PONY SCOUTS The New Pony

小马侦察新来的小马

Jill lived on a pony farm. One Saturday, Meg and Annie, her best friends, came over. Jill, Meg, and Annie called themselves the Pony Scouts. "I'm afraid your riding lesson will be delayed today, girls," Jill's mom told them. "Oh, no!" Meg cried. "Why?"

吉尔住在一个小马场。 一个星期六，梅格和安妮，她最好的朋友，来了。 吉尔、梅格和安妮称自己为“小马童子军”。 “恐怕你们今天的骑马课要推迟了，姑娘们。”吉尔的妈妈告诉她们。 “哦,不!”梅格嚷道。“为什么?”

Jill's mom smiled at the girls. "Because a new pony is arriving at the farm today." "What's his name?" Annie asked. "His name is Taffy," Jill's mom said.

吉尔的妈妈对女孩们笑了笑。 “因为今天农场来了一匹新的小马。” “他叫什么名字？”安妮问。 “他的名字叫太妃糖。”吉尔的妈妈说。

A trailer pulled in with a palomino pony on it. Taffy was the cutest pony the Pony Scouts had ever seen!

一辆拖车停了下来，上面有匹帕洛米诺小马。 太妃是小马童子军见过的最可爱的小马！

Jill's mom put Taffy in a paddock. He ran around and whinnied loudly. "He seems nervous," Annie said. "He's young and still green," Jill's mom told her. Meg giggled. "Green?" she said. "He looks yellowish gold to me!" Jill explained, "Green means that a pony isn't fully trained yet."

吉尔的妈妈把太妃糖放在围场里。 他跑来跑去，大声地呜呜叫着。 “他看起来很紧张，”安妮说。 “他还年轻，还没有经验。”吉尔的妈妈告诉她。 梅格咯咯笑了。“绿色的？”她说。 “在我看来，他是金黄色的！”吉尔解释说：“绿的意思是小马还没有完全训练好。”
