The Adventures of Tom Sawyer L3

汤姆·索亚历险记 L3

In the girls' half of the room there was only one empty chair, and it was next to the new girl. Tom thought quickly, and then looked at the teacher.

在女生坐的那半边教室，只有一个空座位，就在那个新来女孩儿旁边。汤姆的脑筋转得飞快，然后他看着老师。

'I stopped to talk with Huckleberry Finn!' he said.⑴

“我停下来和哈克贝利·费恩聊天了！”他说。

The teacher was very, very angry. Boys were often late for school. That was bad. but talking with Huckleberry Finn was worse, much worse! The teacher took his stick, and two minutes later Tom's trousers were very hot and the teacher's arm was very tired.⑵

老师非常非常气愤，男孩子上学经常迟到。这当然不对，但是和哈克贝利·费恩讲话就更有错，大错特错！老师拿起了教鞭，两分钟后，汤姆的裤子都热辣辣的了，老师的路膊也累得打不动了。

'Now, Tom Sawyer, you go and sit with the girls!'

“现在，汤姆·索亚，你去和女生坐在一起。”

Some of the children laughed. Tom walked to the chair next to the new girl, sat down and opened his book. The other children began to work again.

有几个孩了笑了起来。汤姆走到新来的女生旁边的座位，坐下来，把书打开。其他的孩子也重新开始学习。

After ten minutes, the girl looked up. There was an apple on the table in front of her.⑶ She put it back on Tom's half of the table. A minute later the apple was in front of her again. Now it stayed. Next, Tom drew a picture of a house and put it in front of her.

十分钟后，那女孩儿抬起头。她面前的桌上多了个苹果。她把苹果放回汤姆那边的桌上，很快，苹果又出现在她面前这一次苹果没被推回去。接下来，汤姆画了一座房子，摆在她面前。

'That's nice,' the girl said.⑷ 'Now draw a man.'

“画得真好。”女孩儿说，“再画个男人吧。”

Tom drew a man next to the house. The man was taller than the house, and he had very big hands and very long legs. But the girl liked him.

汤姆在房子旁边画了个男人，人比房子还高，两手大大，双腿长长，但是那女孩儿喜欢。

'Can you draw me now?' she asked.

“你能画个我吗？”她问。 

Tom drew a girl next to the man.

汤姆在男人的旁边加上那女孩儿。

'You draw beautifully. I can't draw pictures.'

“你画得真漂亮，我就不会画画。”

'I can teach you,' said Tom. 'After school.'

“我教你吧。”汤姆说，“等放了学。”

'Oh, please!'

“噢，好啊！”

'What's your name?' Tom asked.

“你叫什么名字？”汤姆问。 

'Becky, Becky Thatcher.'

“贝姬，贝姬·撒切尔。”

Just then Tom felt a hand on his head. It was the teacher. He took Tom by the ear and moved him back to his chair in the boys' half of the room.⑸

就在这时，汤姻感觉到一只手落到他头上，是老师的手！他拧着汤姆的耳朵，把他拖回到了男生那半边他自己的座位上。
