One day when they are young,Aircraft Brothers go sightseeing in the countryside.小时候的一天,飞机兄弟俩一起到郊外游玩。
At this time,an eagle comes by.It now plunges to the ground as an arrow,now it flies straight to the sky. “Look,how freely it flies!”The younger brother says enviously.这时,空中飞来一只老鹰。老鹰一会儿像箭一般向地面俯冲,一会儿又笔直飞向蓝天。“瞧,它飞得多自在呀!”弟弟羡慕地说。
“If we could have wings as the eagle,how happy we would be!”The elder brother says.“要是我们能和老鹰一样长上翅膀,该多好呀!”哥哥说。
But how could they fly to the sky?It troubles the brothers.They both keep silent.可是,怎样才能飞上天去呢?兄弟俩难住了,都沉默不语。
One day,the elder brother has an idea.“We can catch a bird and see how it flies.”The younger brother claps and cheers.So they prepare the slingshot and snare.一天,哥哥有了主意:“我们抓一只鸟,看它是怎样飞的!”弟弟拍手叫好。于是,他们准备好弹弓和网套。
They catch a bird and feel happy.They tie a string to its leg and let it fly.They follow and watch it.They try to find out how the bird flutters its wings.他们终于抓住了一只小鸟,可高兴啦!他们在小鸟的腿上系上绳子,让它飞起来。他俩一边追一边观察,看小鸟的翅膀是怎样拍打的。
When the bird stops,they watch its wings carefully.They also catch a dragonfly and watch its wings.小鸟停下来了,他们又把小鸟的翅膀翻来覆去,仔细观察。他们还抓来蜻蜓,仔细研究蜻蜓的翅膀。
想知道他们是怎样发明飞机的吗?让我们期待下一期吧!
