Lesson 65 Jumbo versus the police
Lesson 65 Jumbo versus the police
中文
小象对警察
去年圣诞节，马戏团老板吉米.盖茨决定送些礼物给儿童医院。
他打扮成圣诞老人，在由6个漂亮姑娘组成的“仪仗队”的陪同下，骑上一头名叫江伯的小象，沿着城里的主要街道出发了。
他本该知道警察绝不会允许这类事情发生。
一个警察走过来告诉吉米，他应该走一条小路，因为江泊阻碍了交通。
虽然吉米同意马上就走，但江伯却拒绝移动。
15个警察不得不用很大的力气把它推离主要街道。
警察虽然吃了苦头，但他们还是感到很有趣。
“江伯一定有好几吨重，”一个警察事后这样说，“值得庆幸的是它没让我们抬它走。当然，我们应该逮捕它，但由于它一贯表现很好，这次我们饶了它。”
英文
Last Christmas [ˈkrɪsməs], the circus owner, Jimmy [ˈdʒɪmi] Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital.
Dressed [drest] up as Father Christmas and accompanied [əˈkʌmp(ə)nid] by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant [ˈelɪfənt] called Jumbo [ˈdʒʌmbəʊ].
He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing.
A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side street as Jumbo was holing up the traffic.
Though Jimmy agreed [əˈɡriːd] to go at once, Jumbo refused to move.
Fifteen policeman had to push very hard to get him off the main street.
The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused.
'Jumbo must weigh a few tons [tʌnz]' said a policeman afterwards, 'so it was fortunate [ˈfɔːtʃənət] that we didn't have to carry him. Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall [ʃæl] let him off this time."
