Emily的新邻居Martha也有一条狗,叫Bruno。Martha要和Emily比试一下,看谁的狗更大、更聪明、更勇敢。获胜者到底是谁呢?是Clifford还是Bruno?快看故事吧。
Emily: “Hi, Im Emily. I have a new neighbour, a girl. She has a dog.”
Emily: “嗨,我是Emily。我有一位新邻居,是个女孩。她有一条狗。”
Martha: “Hi, Im Martha, and this is my dog, Bruno. Hes very big.”
Martha: “嗨,我是Martha,这是我的小狗,Bruno。他个子很大。”
Emily: “This is my dog, Clifford. Hes big too.”
Emily:“这是我的狗,Clifford。他个子也很大。”
Martha: “Well,your dog is a little bigger than Bruno, but Bruno is smarter. I will show you some tricks.”
Martha:“嗯,你的狗个子是比Bruno大些,但Bruno更聪明。我会展示给你看的。”
Emily: “Then Martha sends Bruno to the newspaper stand to bring her a paper. And I send Clifford to bring me a paper.”
Emily: “然后Martha把Bruno带到一个报亭,让他买份报纸回来。我也让Clifford给我买了份回来。”
Martha:“That is very good, but watch this. Speak, Bruno.” And Bruno speaks.
Martha:“很好,但接着看。叫,Bruno。”然后Bruno真的就叫了。
Emily: “I dont want to do it, but I cant let Clifford lose. I say, ‘Speak, Clifford.”
Emily: “我并不想这么做,但我不能让Clifford输。我说:‘叫,Clifford。”
Then they walk to the bridge. Martha says, “I think Bruno is braver. Bruno, jump on the railing and walk.”
然后他们来到了桥上。Martha说:“我认为Bruno更勇敢些。Bruno,跳到栏杆上去走。”
He cant do that. Then Martha gets up on the railing to show Bruno.But she slips.
Bruno做不了。然后Martha爬上栏杆去给他做展示。但是她掉进了河里。
Bruno jumps into the river to save her. But he isnt big enough. Then Clifford saves Martha and Bruno.
Bruno跳进河里去救她。但他的个子不够大。后来还是Clifford救了Martha和Bruno。
Martha says, “Thank you, Clifford. You are the biggest, smartest and bravest dog!”
Martha说:“谢谢你,Clifford。你是最大、最聪明、最勇敢的狗!”
Now we both know who is the best dog of all.
