Lesson one Franklin’s Test

Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He had won a blue ribbon for swimming and a trophy for playing soccer. But one day, Franklin won something that maybe he shouldn’t have. 富兰克林已经学会数奇偶数了，他还学会了自己系鞋带。他在游泳比赛的时候赢得过蓝绶带，还赢过足球比赛的奖章。但有一天，他赢得了一样似乎不该得到的东西。

…daisy…window…chair…pencil. 学生们：Daisy，window，chair，pencil。

Teacher: Well done. All right, you all know how to read our new words. Let’s see how many we can spell. Who would like to go first? 老师：不错。好了，你们都知道新单词怎么念了。我们再来看看可以拼写出多少来。谁愿意先来？

Students: I will go first. Me, me, me…… I will do it, it’s easy. 学生：我先来。我，我，我……我能行，很简单。

Teacher: Bear! Let’s see you give it a try, hmm? All right Bear, spell the word “daisy”, 老师：小熊！你来试试看吧，嗯？好，小熊，拼一下单词“daisy”,

Bear: daisy. Hmm. Let me just check…小熊：daisy。嗯，我来查查看……

Students: Hey Bear! You can’t peek like that! That’s cheating! 学生：嘿，小熊！你不能这么偷看！那是作弊！

Bear: It is? 小熊：是吗？

Teacher: Well Bear, we are trying to learn to spell from memory. I’ll give you a little hint. The next letter is an ‘I’. 老师：噢，小熊，我们要学着默写单词。我给你一个小小的提示。下一个字母是“I”。

Bear: “I”… Oh yeah! “S”，“Y”…“daisy”. 小熊：“I“……噢对了！“S”，“Y”…“daisy”。

Teacher: Absolutely right, Bear! Well done! Now, who’s next? Very good, Goose! You’re all doing very well with your spelling! I think you’re ready for a test! On Thursday, we’ll see how well you know the words we’re learned over the past few weeks. And for those of you who spell all your words correctly, I have something special. 老师：完全正确，小熊！做得好！现在，下一个是谁？非常好，小鹅！你们都做得很好，拼得很棒。我想你们已经准备好参加考试了。星期四，咱们来看看你们对学过的单词掌握得怎么样了，这几个星期以来学的东西，对于那些拼写完全正确的同学，我会有特别的奖励。

Students: Wow! Look at those! 学生：喔！看哪！Teacher: One of these colorful pens! 老师：一支颜色鲜艳的钢笔！

Students: Excuse me Mr. Owl, but since I’m going to get all the words right anyway, could I have my pen now? I’d like to write the test with it. 学生：对不起，猫头鹰老师，反正我无论如何都会全对的，我能现在就得到钢笔吗？我还想用这钢笔参加考试呢。

Teacher: I’m sorry Beaver, but you’ll have to write the first. 老师：对不起，海狸，可是你必须先参加考试。

Students: Hmph. 学生：哼。

Teacher: I’m sure if all of you practice spelling your words, you’ll do very well. Pens or no pens, 老师：我相信只要你们认真练习单词拼写，你们都会做得很好。无论能不能得到钢笔。

Franklin：F-L-O-W-E-R, flower. W-I-N…D-O-W. window. 富兰克林：F-L-O-W-E-R, flower。W-I-N…D-O-W. window。

Franklin：Yeah! Bear and I have been practicing

really hard.

富兰克林：是啊！小熊和我练习得非常努力。

Franklin：Oh, they are! And I’m going to make sure I know my words so I get one. 富兰克林：噢，那当然！我要保证记住所有的单词来得到它。

Mother: I can see one work that’s going to take

a little more practice.

妈妈：我发现有一个词还要再多练习一下。Franklin: Where? Which one? Show me. 富兰克林：哪儿？哪儿？告诉我。

Mother: This one. “pencil”is spelled P-E-N-C-I-L. That’s only one mistake. You are doing great. 妈妈：这个。“pencil”拼写是P-E-N-C-I-L。只有这一个错。你做得很棒啊。

Franklin: The important thing is, you’re learning how to spell. 富兰克林：最重要的事情是，你在学习如何拼写。

Franklin: No Dad, the important thing is spelling every word right. Good! I got it right that time, Sam. Tomorrow, I’ll spell it just like that. But what if I don’t? What if I forget? …P-E-N-C-I-L. I know it now. I won’t forget. I know…I’ll just put it in here for good luck.。富兰克林：不，爸爸，最重要的是把每个单词都拼对。P-E-N…uh, E-N…C-I-L。好！我这次拼对了，山姆。明天，我也会这样拼写的。可如果不是怎么办？如果忘了怎么办？P-E-N-C-I-L。我记住了。我不会忘的。我知道了……我还是把它贴在这儿带来好运吧。

Teacher: Next…spell “kitchen”. “kitchen”And now we come the very last word on the test. “pencil”. That’s “pen-cil”. Now, when you’re finished, don’t forget to put your name at the top of the page. 老师：下一个……拼写“kitchen”。“kitchen”我们现在到了这次考试的最后一个单词。“pencil”。是“pen-cil”。当你完成了别忘了写上你的名字在纸的上方。

Father: The one you’ve been preparing for, for the past three days. 爸爸：你辛辛苦苦准备，准备了三天的那个考试。

Franklin: Oh, fine. Mr. Owl said I did a good job. I-I’ve got to put my stuff away. 富兰克林：噢，还行。猫头鹰老师说我做得不错。我—我得把东西拿过去了。

Father: I have the feeling he didn’t do as well on that test as he expected. 爸爸：我有种感觉：他考试考得不如预想的好。

Mother: I have the very same feeling. And I know how much he wanted one of those pens. 妈妈：我也有同感。我知道他有多想得到一支钢笔。

Father: Maybe it’s time to remind Franklin that the value of a good honest try is worth more 爸爸：可能应该去提醒一下富兰克林，一次认真诚实的努力，它的价值胜过一支钢笔。

than a pen.

Mother: I’ll come with you. 妈妈：我和你一起去。Father: Franklin? Are you all right? 爸爸：富兰克林? 你没事吧？Franklin: Uh huh. 富兰克林：没事。

Mother: You may not have gotten all the words right on your spelling test, but your father and I still think…妈妈：你可能没有把所有单词在考试的时候都拼对，可是你爸爸和我是觉得……

Franklin: I did get them all right. 富兰克林：我全都拼对了。Father: Oh. Very good! 爸爸：噢，太好了！Mother: So you did get a pen? 妈妈：那么你得到钢笔了？Franklin: Yeah. 富兰克林：对。

Father: Well, don’t keep us in suspense. Let’s have a look at it. 爸爸：哦，那就别让我们等了。拿出来看看吧。

Franklin: There it is. 富兰克林：在这儿。

Mother: Why did you put it in the garbage? 妈妈：你为什么把它扔进垃圾桶里呢？

Father: Is there something you want to tell us, Franklin? 爸爸：是不是有什么话要跟我们说，富兰克林？

Franklin: I spelled all the words right because I peeked at this. 富兰克林：我全都拼对了是因为我偷看了这个。

Mother: Oh. It doesn’t feel right winning the pen this way, does it? 妈妈：噢。是不是觉得不舒服，赢得钢笔用了这样的办法，是吧？

Franklin: No. Bear’s right. I didn’t win it fair and square. I cheated. What should I do? 富兰克林：是不舒服。小熊说得对。我赢得不够光明正大。我作弊了，我该怎么力呢？

Father: That’s something you should decide. But I think you know inside what will make you feel better. 爸爸：这件事你得自己决定。但是我想你心里应该知道怎样才会让自己感觉好一点。

Teacher: Good morning, Franklin. 老师：早上好，富兰克林。

Franklin: Hi. Um…I want to give you something. I’ll just put it on your desk. 富兰克林：嗨，嗯……我想给你件东西。我把它放在桌子上。

Teacher: Uh, just a minute, Franklin. Why are you giving me back your pen? 老师：哦，等一下，富兰克林。你为什么要还给我你的钢笔？

Franklin: I had one of spelling words inside my cap and I looked at it during the test. 富兰克林：我把一个单词的拼写藏在帽子里，考试时候偷看了。

Teacher: I see. 老师：我明白了。

Franklin: I know I shouldn’t have done it. It’s just that I really wanted to win one of those pens. But now I think you should have it back. 富兰克林：我知道我不该这么做。只是我实在是想得到那只钢笔。可现在我想我该把它还回来了。

Teacher: Hmm. Sometimes we think too much about rewards and not enough about what it takes to earn them. 老师：嗯。有时候我们会太在意得到的奖励，而没有认真想该怎样才能赢得奖励。

Franklin: Like I thought more about getting the pen than learning how to spell. 富兰克林：就像我想得更多的是赢得钢笔而不是学好拼写。

Teacher: Exactly. Tell you what-I’ll hold onto this for a while. After all, there will be more 老师：对，这样吧。我先把它收起来。毕竟，还会有很多考试嘛。

tests.

Franklin: Thanks, Mr. Owl. Next time, I’ll win it fair and square! 富兰克林：谢谢，猫头鹰老师。下一次，我会赢得光明正大！

Teacher: I’m sure you will. 老师：我相信你会的。
