二 文章內容與解釋
Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time.
[ 喬·桑德斯擁有我們鎮上最漂亮的花園。幾乎每個人都參加每年舉辦的「最佳花園競賽」,而每次都是喬獲勝。]
Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work.
[ 比爾.弗裡斯的花園比喬的花園大,他比喬也更為勤奮,種植的花卉和蔬菜也更多,但喬的花園更富有情趣。他修築了一條條整潔的小路,並在一個池塘上架了一座小木橋。我也喜歡花園,但我卻不願意辛勤勞動。]
Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!
[每年的花園競賽我也參加,但總因是鎮上最劣的花園而獲得一個小獎! ]
