英國語文第二冊(雙語) 第10課:歡迎,小小知更鳥
LESSON 10 Welcome,little robin
第十課 歡迎，小小知更鳥
On a cold winter day a poor little robin once came to a window. Some children who saw it, opened the window very gently, and the robin came hopping into the room. The children fed it with crumbs, and then let it fly away again. During the winter it came back several times to its little friends; but when the warm weather came, it flew away to the woods.
在一天寒冷的冬天，一直可憐的小小知更鳥來到了窗前。我的孩子們發(fā)現(xiàn)了它，輕輕的打開了門，這只知更鳥跳進了房間。孩子們用面包屑喂他，讓后讓他再次離開。在這整個冬天，他數(shù)次來到他的小伙伴身邊；但當天氣變得暖和，他就飛向了樹林。
