鐵匠的故事
An old blacksmith realized he was soon going to quit working sohard. He picked out a strong young man to become his apprentice.從前一個小鎮上有個鐵匠, 他老了的時候, 覺得自己對工作越來越力不從心, 於是請了一個強壯的年輕人當學徒.
The old fellow was crabby and exacting. "Don’t ask me a lot ofquestions," he told the boy. "Just do whatever I tell you to do."
這個老鐵匠脾氣很暴躁, 要求又嚴格. 總是沖著徒弟吼:"不要什麼事都問個不停! 照我說的做就是了!"
One day the old blacksmith took an iron out of the forge and laid iton the anvil. "Get the hammer over there," he said. "When I nod myhead, hit it real good and hard." Now the town is looking for a newblacksmith.
有一天老鐵匠從爐子裡取出一塊通紅的鐵放到砧板上, 對徒弟說道:"把錘子舉起來, 我頭一點, 你就狠狠地砸!"...後來, 小鎮上的人們開始尋找一個新的鐵匠...
