克萊頓教授
Creighton was going along a West end square when he saw a little fellow trying to reach the knocker of a large house.
當(dāng)克萊頓教授沿著倫敦西區(qū)的一個(gè)廣場(chǎng)走著的時(shí)候,他看見一個(gè)小家伙正試圖抓住一所大房子的門環(huán)。
"Can’t you reach up so high? "asked the professor kindly.
“你是不是夠不到這么高的地方呢?”教授好意地問。
"No,Slr,”said the small youngster.
“是的,先生。”那小孩說。
"Well, then, let me help you,”and the professor mounted the three steps and gave a splendid rat-tat.
“那好,讓我來幫你。”教授登上那三級(jí)臺(tái)階,在門上重重扣了幾下。
The little boy glanced hastily at the gentleman of the cloth. "Come on,”he yelled,"we must both run away.”
那個(gè)小男孩急忙給教授遞上一個(gè)眼色。“快跑,”他喊著:“我們倆都得跑。”
