「So you can see how Mr Bump had his little accidents! Mr Bump had had...」

「所以你可以看到莽撞先生是如何发生他的小事故的了！莽撞先生曾经……」

"Had had", he had had.So we got repeating here." He had had a lovely time at the park."

“Had had”，他曾经有过。所以我们在这里重复了。"他曾经在公园里玩得很开心。"

「He had had many jobs, but somehow they never seemed to last very long. As soon as anything got lost or broken or splintered...」

「他有过很多工作，但不知为何，它们似乎从未持续很长时间。只要有什么东西丢了、破了或碎了……」

If we snap somethingsometimes we get little bits of wood or plastic. They are splinters.

如果我们折断什么东西，有时我们会得到一些木头或塑料的碎片。它们就是碎片。

「...or chipped or snapped or crackedor torn or burst or wrenched or crunched or split or slit, Mr Bump got the blame. 」

「……断裂了、折断了、裂开了、撕裂了、爆裂了、拧坏了、压碎了、分裂了，或者是割裂了，邦普先生就会受到责备。」

Oh dear, what has he got in his hand? He's got a broom and a broom handle. He's got the brush at the bottom and the handle in the other hand.

哦，天哪，他手里拿的是什么？他拿着一把刷子和一个扫帚柄。他一只手拿着从底部获取的刷子，另一只手拿着扫帚柄。

What should they be? That's right, they should be together. So he's broken the broom. Or sometimes we call it a brush. But broom is the proper name. Oh dear, poor Mr Bump.

它们原本的样子是怎样的？没错，它们应该拼装在一起。所以他弄坏了扫帚。或者有时我们叫它“brush”。但“broom”才是其固有的名字。哦，亲爱的，可怜的莽撞先生。

「For instance. When Mr Bump worked on a farm, he tripped over the farm dog and spilt the milk which he was carrying for the farmer's wife and which the farm cat lapped up.」

「比如说。当莽撞先生在一个农场里工作时，他被农场的小狗绊倒了，打翻了他为农夫的妻子带去的牛奶，而农场的小猫则舔起了牛奶。」

Oh dear. He spilt all the milk, he tripped over the farm dog.

哦，天哪。他打翻了所有的牛奶，他被农场的小狗绊倒了。

「For instance. When Mr Bump was a postman, he got his hands stuck in the pillar-box and they had to fetch the fire brigade to come and set him free.」

「再举个例子。当莽撞先生还是个邮递员时，他的手被卡在了邮筒里，他们不得不叫来消防队帮他把手弄出来。」

Now look at the red pillar box. A pillar box is where we put the letters. Then the postman takes them to all the people. But here, he's put his hand in. He shouldn't be doing that anyway. And look what's happened. It's got stuck. Oh dear.

现在看看这个红色的邮筒。邮筒是我们放信件的地方。然后邮递员会把它们送到所有收件人的手中。但在这里，莽撞先生把他的手放进去了。无论如何，他不应该这样做。看看发生了什么。它被卡住了。哦，天哪。

「For instance. When Mr Bump was a bus conductor, he fell off the bus and he couldn't catch it up again and all the passengers traveled without having to pay. 」

「再举个例子。当莽撞先生是一名公共汽车售票员时，他从公共汽车上摔了下来，他无法再追上去，所有的乘客都不用为出行支付费用了。」

So on some buses you pay the driver, but on some buses there is a bus conductor and they come round the bus and you pay them for the journey.

在一些公交车上，你需要向司机付钱，但在一些公交车上，会有一个公交车售票员，他们在公交车上来回走动，你需要向他们支付旅程费用。

What is Mr Bump done? He's fallen off the busand all the people on the bus, they don't have to pay. I bet they're happy. But I don't think the people that own the bus will be very happy. Silly Mr Bump.

而莽撞先生做了什么呢？他从公交车上摔下来了，而车上的人都不用付车费了。我打赌他们一定很高兴。但我认为这辆巴士的所有者会非常不高兴。愚蠢的莽撞先生。

「For instance. When Mr Bump was a carpenter...」

「再比如说。当莽撞先生做木匠工作的时候……」

A carpenter is someone who makes things out of wood.

木匠是用木头制作东西的人。

「...he found that when he was hammering nails he hammered his thumb most of the time and the nail hardly at all. 」

「……他发现当他钉钉子时，他十有八九会钉到自己的拇指上，而钉子几乎完好无损。」

Oh ouch! If you hit your thumb with a hammer that would really hurt.

噢哟！如果你的拇指被锤子砸到了，那真的会非常疼。

「In order to recover...” to make himself feel better...“from this series of rather unfortunate happenings, Mr Bump decided to take a holiday.」

「为了恢复……”，recover的意思是让自己感觉好一点……“为了从这一系列相当不幸的事情中恢复过来，莽撞先生决定放个假。」

「There he could think about what sort of job he could dowhere he wouldn't be such a nuisance to everybody. So off he set to the station to catch a train to the seaside.」

「在那里，他可以考虑做什么样的工作，一份让他不会成为讨厌鬼的工作。于是，他去车站搭上了去往海边的火车。」

Now a "nuisance", that's a funny word here. A nuisance, it means when you keep annoying people, you keep getting things wrong, you are a nuisance.

现在，“nuisance（讨厌鬼）”，这是个有趣的词。讨厌鬼，它的意思是当你不断地惹恼别人的时候，当你不断地把事情弄错的时候，你就是一个惹人讨厌的人。

It's not a very nice word, it's not a nasty word but... if you say someone's being a nuisance, it's not very nice. It means that they're annoying you. And poor Mr Bump that he annoys everyone because he gets everything wrong. Everything he does, it ends up in a bit of a disaster.

这不是一个非常好的词，但也不是一个十分贬义的词，但是……如果你说某人是讨厌鬼的话，这并不是很好。这意味着他们让你感到厌烦。可怜的莽撞先生，他惹恼了每一个人。他做的所有事情，总是以一场灾难告终。

So, all of these bad things have happened and he thinks "Oh, I can't cope with this. I need to go on a holiday to recoverto make myself feel better." So he's gone to the station to catch a train.

因此，所有这些坏事都发生了，而莽撞先生认为“噢，我无法应对这些。我需要去度个假来恢复，让自己感觉好一点。"所以他到车站去赶火车了。

When we get on a train, we call it "catching a train"."catching" normally means to catch a ball, but we can catch an aeroplane, we can catch a train. It means that we go on to the train or the aeroplane.

当我们坐火车时，我们称之为“catching a train（赶火车）”。”catch“通常意味着抓球，但我们可以“catching an aeroplane（赶飞机）”，可以“catching a train（赶火车）”。它的意思是，我们坐上了火车或飞机。

「While Mr Bump was on holiday, several things happened.」

「当莽撞先生在度假时，又发生了一些事情。」

「For instance.He fell off a boat into the sea and the lifeboat had to come and rescue him.」

「比如说。他从船上掉进了海里，救生艇不得不来救他。」

Oh dear. Poor Mr Bump.

哦，天哪。可怜的莽撞先生。

「For instance. One day when he was quietly walkingalong the beach minding his own business, he got his foot stuck in a bucket, and as he couldn't get it off, he had to walk around with it on his foot for hours.」

「又比如说。有一天，当他正沿着海滩静静地散步，想着自己的事情的时候，他的脚被卡在了一个桶里，因为他无论如何都无法把它弄下来，他不得不带着它走了好几个小时。」

Oh dear. Poor Mr Bump.

哦，天哪。可怜的莽撞先生。

「For instance. Another time he was walking along the beach, he walked straight into a large hole that somebody had dug and he had to stay there all nightbecause he couldn't climb out on his own. 」

「再比如说。还有一次，他在海滩上散步时，直接掉进了别人挖的一个大洞里，因为他无法自己爬出来，他不得不在那里呆了一晚上。」

「However, despite all these little accidents, Mr Bump enjoyed his holiday, and while he was there he had a splendid...」

「不过，虽然发生了这些小意外，莽撞先生还是很享受他的假期，因为他在度假的时候，他有了一个非常棒的……」

Splendid means really good.

“splendid”的意思是非常好。

「...he had a splendid idea about what sort of job he should do. It was quite the best idea Mr Bump had ever had.An absolutely splendid idea.」

「……他对自己应该做什么样的工作有了一个非常棒的想法。这是莽撞先生迄今为止有过的最棒的想法。一个绝对精彩的想法。」

Hmm...I wonder what it's going to be.

嗯.……我想知道它是什么呢。

「And now Mr Bump works happily for Mr Barley the farmer.」

「现在，莽撞先生为农场主大麦先生愉快地工作着。」

「Mr Barley has a rather large apple orchard...」

「大麦先生有着一个相当大的苹果园……」

An orchard is a place full of fruit trees, these are apple trees.

“orchard”是种满果树的地方，在我们的故事里，这些果树是苹果树。

「...on his farmand that’s where Mr Bump works.」

「……苹果园在他的农场里，也就是莽撞先生工作的地方。」

Works on a farm?I wonder what he's going to be doing.

在农场工作？我想知道他将会做什么。

「Mr Bump's job is picking apples but he doesn't use a ladderto climb up the tree to pick the apples like other apple pickers.」

「莽撞先生的工作是采摘苹果，但他不像其他摘苹果的人那样用梯子爬到树上摘苹果。」

「Oh no. Mr Bump has a much better way of picking apples than that! He just walks about!」

「哦，不。莽撞先生有一个比这更好的摘苹果的方法！他只是在走来走去！」

「And before long Mr Bump being Mr Bump walks into a tree. Bump!」

「没过多久，莽撞先生就像平常一样走近一棵苹果树。嗙！」

「And down falls an apple. And Mr Bump catches it.」

「一个苹果掉了下来。莽撞先生接住了它。」

「This makes the job of apple picking much easier and Mr Bump is very pleased about his new joband Mr Barley is very pleased about his new apple picker.」

「这个方法使得采摘苹果的工作变得更加容易，莽撞先生对自己的新工作非常满意，大麦先生对他的新采摘苹果者也非常满意。」

「So you seethe story of Mr Bump isn't such a sad story after all. And if you ever bump yourself, you know what to do, don't you? 」

「所以你看，莽撞先生的故事并不完全是一个悲伤的故事。如果你也不小心撞到了自己，你知道该怎么做，不是吗？」

「Go and eat an apple picked by Mr Bump and then you won't feel your bump at all. You'll remember that the next time you have a bump, won't you?Good!」

「去吃一个莽撞先生采摘下来的苹果吧，然后你就完全不会感受到撞击后的疼痛了。当你下次再撞到的时候，可别忘记了，好吗？很好！」

So that's the story of Mr Bump.Oh dear. Everything he did, it went a bit wrong but in the end, he found the perfect job, didn't he? Because he was able to use his Mr Bump personality to knock down the apples. So he ended up with a good job.

这就是莽撞先生的故事。哦，天哪。他做的每件事都有点不顺利，但是在最后，他找到了一份完美的工作，不是吗？因为他能够利用他自己的个性来采摘苹果。所以他最后得到了一份好工作。
