Tom," she said. "I have to take some things to my sister in the town today, but I haven't got a horse, as you know.“早上好,湯姆!”她說。“今天我要帶些東西給我姐姐,她住在城里,但是你知道的,我沒有馬。Will you lend me yours? I will bring it back this evening."你能把你的馬借給我嗎?今天晚上我會來還的?!?quot;I'm sorry," answered Tom. "If my horse was here, I would of course lend it to you, but it is not."“不好意思,”湯姆回答道,“如果我的馬在這里,我當(dāng)然會借給你啦,但是它不在?!?quot;Oh?" said the woman. "It was here last night because I saw it under the tree in your garden. Where is it now?"“是嗎?”她說道,“它昨天晚上還在這呢,我看見它在你家花園的那棵樹下。它現(xiàn)在去哪了?”"My wife took it to the town early this morning." answered Tom.“我的妻子一大早就帶它去城里了。”湯姆回答說。Just then the horse made a big noise.就在這時,馬發(fā)出了很大的聲響。"You're not telling the truth, Tom!" the woman said angrily.“你沒說實話,湯姆!”那位女士生氣地說。"I can hear your horse. You should tell the truth to your neighbor!"“我都能聽到你的馬的聲音。你應(yīng)該跟你的鄰居說實話?!?quot;Sure!" said Tom, "Is it good manners to believe a horse's word rather than that of your own neighbor?"“當(dāng)然可以!”湯姆說,“你不相信鄰居的話反而相信馬的話,這樣禮貌嗎?”The woman left without a word.那位女士一句話也沒說就走了。
