燕妮分享

  There was once a farmer who lived near a road.

  从前有一个农夫,他家就住在马路附近。

  It was not a busy road, but from time to time, cars passed the farm.

  这条马路并不繁华, 偶尔才会有汽车从农场经过。

  Near the farm gate, there was a large hole in the road.

  靠近农场大门口的马路中间有一个大坑。

  This hole was always full of water,  and the drivers of the cars could not see how deep the hole was. They thought it was probably shallow1.

  这个坑里总是积满了水。从表面上看,汽车司机根本辨认不出坑的深浅,他们会认为是一个很浅的坑。

  Then when they drove2 into the hole, they could not drive out because it was so deep.

  一旦车子掉进了坑里,司机们就别想再开出来,因为坑太深了。

  The farmer did not spend much time working on his farm. He spent most of it watching the hole.

  农夫没有花多少心思去经营农场,大部分时间都盯着这个坑。

  When a car drove into it, he pulled the car out with his tractor3 and charged4 the driver a lot of money for doing this.每当汽车开进坑里时,他就用拖拉机把汽车拉上来,然后向司机收取很多费用。

  One day, the driver of a car said to him, "You must make a lot of money pulling cars out of this hole night and day."

  一天,一位汽车司机对他说:“你没日没夜地把汽车往外拉,肯定挣了很多钱吧。”

  "Oh, no," the farmer said, "I don't pull cars out of the hole at night. At night I fill the hole with water."

  “哦,不,”农夫说,“我夜里不拉汽车,我还得往这个坑里灌水呢。”
