:双语故事之海盗的宝藏

　　【英文原文】

　　摘要：“距离走廊十步，玫瑰花丛20步的地方，”一天夜里蓝胡子在吉米的梦里咆哮道，“那里有珍宝！”

　　"Ten steps from the porch and twenty steps from the rose bushes," growled Bluebeard in Jimmy's dream one night. "There be treasure there! Aawrgh."

　　So the next day Jimmy began to dig. He dug until the hole was deep and the dirt pile was high. He kept digging. The hole got deeper and the dirt pile got higher.

　　He dug until the hole was deepest and the dirt pile was at its highest. He sighed. "I'm too tired. I can't dig anymore." Then he spied something.

　　but it was only one of Woofy's bones. Instead of treasure, all Jimmy had was a dog bone, a hole, and a big pile of dirt to fill it in with. He thought "That pirate lied to me!"

　　But when Jimmy's mother saw what he had done, she clasped her hands and smiled a smile from here to Sunday. "Oh, thank you, Jimmy. I always wanted a rhododendron bush planted just there. Here's $5.00 for digging that hole."

　　“距离走廊十步，玫瑰花丛20步的地方，”一天夜里蓝胡子在吉米的梦里咆哮道，“那里有珍宝！”

　　所以第二天，吉米开始挖。他一直挖，直到坑很深了，挖出的土堆得很高了。

　　他不停地挖。坑越来越深，土越堆越高。

　　他一直挖，直到坑已经非常深，土堆得非常高。他叹了口气：“我太累了。我不能再挖了。”然后他开始搜索。

　　但是除了一块伍菲的骨头，他什么也没找到。吉米所得到的仅仅是一块狗啃的骨头，一个坑还有一大堆土，而不是财宝。他想：“那个海盗欺骗了我！”

　　但当吉米的妈妈看到他所做的一切，她高兴得拍手。从那时一直拍到星期天。“哦，谢谢你，吉米。我一直以来都想在那里栽一丛杜鹃花。这5美元奖励你挖那个坑。”
