LESSON 49 THE LAST CROSS WORD
第四十九课 最后一面中说些让人生气的话
"Oh,"said a little girl, bursting into tears, when she heard of the death of a young friend, "I did not know, when I saw her, that it was the last time I should have to speak to Amy!"
当听到她的一个年轻朋友去世的消息时,这个小女孩眼泪决堤,"我不知道我上次见她竟然是我最后一次和她说话。"
The last time they were together she spoke crossly to her, and that last cross word now lay heavy on her heart.
最后一次他们在一起这个小女孩生气的和她说话,那些气话现在在她心里很沉重。
This points out a good rule about kind words. Speak kindly to your father, to your mother, to your brother, to your sister, to your play-mates, to every one around you, lest it should be the last time you will have to speak to them. Cross words are very sad to think of.
这指出来了关于说些和善的话的好的规则。对爸妈哥哥姐姐、玩伴等等身边的每一个人都和善的说话吧,万一这是最后一次你们说话呢。气话想起来会很伤心的。
Little children,love each other;
小孩子要互相关爱,
Never give another pain:
从来不要给别人痛苦。
If your brother speak in anger,
如果你的兄弟说了些气话,
Answer not in wrath again.
你不要再盛怒的去回应。
