49 The End of a Dream

The end of a dream

美梦告终

Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed.

德黑兰的一个年轻人由于对睡地板感到厌倦,于是积蓄多年买了一张真正的床。

For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress.

他平生第一次自豪地拥有了一张既有弹簧又带床垫的床。

Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house.

由于天气很热,他便把床搬到了他的屋顶上。

He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up.

头两天晚上.他睡得非常好。但第三天晚上起了风暴。

A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below.

一阵大风把床从屋顶上刮了下来,把它摔碎在下面的院子里。
