FLAT STANLEY at Bat

平斯坦利在蝙蝠

Stanley Lambchop lived with his mother, his father, and his little brother, Arthur.

斯坦利·兰切普和他的母亲、父亲和弟弟阿瑟住在一起。

Stanley was four feet tall, about a foot wide, and half an inch thick. He had been flat ever since a bulletin board fell on him.

斯坦利有四英尺高，大约一英尺宽，半英寸厚。 自从一块布告栏砸到他之后，他就一直躺在地上。

Sometimes being flat was a bit tricky. When he turned sideways, Stanley was hard to spot.

有时候保持平淡有点棘手。 当他侧身时，很难发现斯坦利。

And a good gust of wind could sweep Stanley off his feet. But he never let his flatness get in his way.

一阵风就能把斯坦利吹倒。 但他从不让他的平坦妨碍他。

"I'm trying out for baseball," Stanley told Arthur one day. Arthur helped Stanley practice. Stanley hit a thousand pitches. He caught a thousand fly balls.

“我想参加棒球比赛。”一天斯坦利告诉阿瑟。 阿瑟帮助斯坦利练习。 斯坦利打了一千个球。 他接了一千个苍蝇球。
