Alan worked in an office in the city. He worked very hard and really looked forward to his holidays.
艾伦在城市里的一家公司上班。他工作非常辛苦,他期盼着假期。
He usually went to the seaside, but one year he saw an ad in a newspaper "Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at Willow Farm. Good food, fresh air, horse riding, walking, fishing. Reasonable prices."
他经常去海边度假,但是有一年他在报纸上看到了一则广告:“享受乡村生活。在唯利屋农场度假数周,可享受:美味佳肴、新鲜空气、骑马、散步、垂钓。价格便宜!”
"This sounds like a good idea." he thought, "I'll spend a month at Willow Farm. I'll enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They'll make a change from sitting by the seaside."
“这听起来真是一个好主意。”他想,“我要在唯利屋农场度假一个月。我要享受骑马,散步和垂钓的乐趣。这将带来和坐在海边不一样的情趣。”
Four days later he returned home.
四天后他回来了。
"What's wrong with Willow Farm ?" his friend asked him. "Didn't you enjoy country life?"
“唯利屋农场怎么了?”他的朋友问道。“难道乡村生活无趣吗?”
"Country life was fine," Alan said. "But there was another problem."
“乡村生活倒是挺好的,”艾伦说。“但是有另一个问题。”
"Oh, what?"
“噢,是什么呢?”
"Well, the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast lamb for dinner."
“喔,在那里的第一天,一头羊死了,我们的晚餐是烤羊肉。”
"Fresh meat is the best."
“新鲜肉类真不错。”
"I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner."
“我知道,但是第二天一头牛死了,我们的晚餐时烤牛肉。”
"Lucky you!"
“真幸运!”
"You don't understand," Alan said. "On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner."
“你不知道,”艾伦说。“第三天一头猪死了,我们的晚餐时烤猪肉。”
"A different roast every day." Jack exclaimed.
“每天都有不同的烤肉。”杰克感叹道。
"Let me finish," Alan said. "On the fourth day the farmer died and I didn't dare stay for dinner!"
“让我说完,”艾伦说道。“第四天农夫死了,我不敢留下了吃晚餐!”
