阿莫·麥吉是個早起的人，

每天早晨當(dāng)鬧鈴“叮鈴鈴”地響起時，

他擺擺腿，下床來，脫下睡衣，換上熨得筆挺的制服。

He would wind his watch and set a pot of water toboil......,saying to the sugar bowl," A spoonful for my oatmeal, and two for my teacup."

他會給懷表上好弦，煮上一壺開水，對糖罐子說：“請給我的燕麥粥里來一勺，茶杯里來兩勺?！?/span>

One day,AMos McGee AWOKEwith the sniffles,and the sneezes, and the chills. He swung his achy legs out of bed, curled them back again and said., "Ugh, I do not think I will be going to work today."

有一天，阿莫醒來時，抽了幾下鼻子，打了幾個噴嚏，還不住地打冷戰(zhàn)。他擺動酸痛的腿，坐到床邊，又蜷縮回來。他對自己說：“哎呦，我今天恐怕不能去工作了。”

Meanwhile AT THE ZOO ...

The animals waited for their friends.

The elephant arranged his pawns and polish his castles.

The tortoise stretched his legs and limbered up.

The penguin satpatiently,all by himself.

The rhinoceroses worried that his allergies were worsening.

The owl perched atop a tall stack of storybooks, scratching his head with concern.

"Where isAMos McGee AWOKE?"The animals wondered.

此時，在動物園里......

動物們在等待他們的朋友。

大象在擺弄棋子，把車擦了又擦。

烏龜伸伸脖子蹬蹬腿，做熱身運動。

企鵝獨自耐心地坐著。

犀牛擔(dān)心自己的過敏癥狀又加重了。

貓頭鷹棲息在高高的一摞故事書上，滿懷關(guān)切的搔著頭。

動物們都很想知道：“阿莫在哪兒呢?”

Later that day

這天晚些時候......

"Hooray!My good friends are here!"

“萬歲!好朋友們來了!”

The elephant prepared a game of chess.

大象擺好了一盤棋，

Amos thought and thought before making move.

阿莫每下一步棋都要想啊想。

" I'm too tired to run racestoday,"saidAmoto the tortoise.

“今天我太累了，不能賽跑了?！卑⒛獙觚斦f。

"Let's play hide-and-seek instead."

“我們改玩捉迷藏吧?！?/span>

The tortoise hid inside his shell.

烏龜躲在龜殼里。

Amos hid beneath the covers.

阿莫藏在被子下。

Amos yawned,"I could use a nap,"

阿莫打個哈欠說：“我可要打個盹了?！?/span>

The penguin sat quietly, keeping Amos's feetwarm.

企鵝安靜地坐著，給阿莫暖暖腳。

"Ah - chool!" Amos awoke with a sneeze.

Therhinoceros was ready with a handkerchief.

“阿——嚏!”阿莫打個噴嚏醒過來。

犀牛已經(jīng)為他準(zhǔn)備好一條手絹。

"I'm beginning to feel much better,thank you,"saidAmos to his friends,

He swungs his legs out of bed ."Perhaps we will share a pot of tea ?"

阿莫對朋友們說：“謝謝你們，我已經(jīng)感覺好多了?！?/span>

他擺擺腿，下床來，對他們說：

“大家一起來喝壺茶怎么樣?”

Amos wound his alarm clock.

"It's getting late," he said.

" After all,we have a morning bus to catch."

So Amos said goodnight to the elephant.

And goodnight to the tortoise.

And goodnight to the penguin.And goodnight to the rhinoceros.And goodnight to the owl,who-knowing that Amos was afraid of the dark-read a story aloud before turning out the light.

阿莫調(diào)好鬧鐘。

“時間不早了。”他說。

“明兒一早還要趕早班車呢。”

于是阿莫跟大象說晚安。

然后跟烏龜說晚安。

然后跟企鵝說晚安。

然后跟犀牛說晚安。

然后跟貓頭鷹說晚安。

貓頭鷹知道阿莫怕黑，

還在燈前為他讀書講故事。
