LESSON 5
POPPING CORN
爆米花
1. One autumn night, when the wind was high,
And the rain fell in heavy plashes,
A little boy sat by the kitchen fire,
A-popping corn in the ashes;
And his sister, a curly-haired child of three,
Sat looking on, just close to his knee.
2. Pop! pop! and the kernels, one by one,
Came out of the embers flying;
The boy held a long pine stick in his hand,
And kept it busily plying;
He stirred the corn and it snapped the more,
And faster jumped to the clean-swept floor.
3. Part of the kernels flew one way,
And a part hopped out the other;
Some flew plump into the sister’s lap,
Some under the stool of the brother;
The little girl gathered them into a heap,
And called them a flock of milk-white sheep.
【中文閱讀】
1. 鞦日晚上,狂風不斷,
雨花四濺,
一個小男孩坐在爐火旁,
他在爐灰中爆玉米;
他的三歲妹妹,頭發微捲,
坐在他膝邊靜靜觀看。
2. 爆!爆!玉米粒一個接一個爆開,
從餘燼中飛齣,爆開;
男孩手拿長鬆木棍,
不停在爐子裏撥動;
他攪動玉米粒,更多的玉米粒爆開瞭,
很快蹦到掃得乾淨的地闆上。
3. 一些米粒蹦嚮一個方嚮,
一些跳往其他方嚮;
有些飛進妹妹的腿上,
有些鑽到哥哥的小凳下麵,
小姑娘把它們堆成一堆,
把它們叫作奶白色的羊群。
LESSON 74
THE YOUNG WITNESS
小證人
1.A little girl nine years of age was brought into court, andoffered as a witness against a prisoner who was on trial for acrime committed in her father’s house.
2. “Now, Emily,” said the counsel for the prisoner, “I wish toknow if you understand the nature of an oath?”
3.“I don’t know what you mean,” was the simple answer.
4.“Your Honor,” said the counsel, addressing the judge, “it isevident that this witness should be rejected. She does notunderstand the nature of an oath.”
5.“Let us see,” said the judge. “Come here, my daughter.”
6.Assured by the kind tone and manner of the judge, the childstepped toward him, and looked confidingly in his face, with acalm, clear eye, and in a manner so artless and frank that it wentstraight to the heart.
7.“Did you ever take an oath?” inquired the judge.
8. The little girl stepped back with a look of horror; and thered blood rose and spread in a blush all over her face and neck, asshe answered, “No, sir.” She thought he intended to ask if she hadever used profane language.
9.“I do not mean that,” said the judge, who saw her mistake; “Imean were you ever a witness?”
10.“No, sir; I never was in court before,” was the answer.
11.He handed her the Bible open. “Do you know that book, mydaughter?”
12.She looked at it and answered, “Yes, sir; it is theBible.”
13.“Do you ever read in it?” he asked.
14.“Yes, sir; every evening.”
15.“Can you tell me what the Bible is?” inquired the judge.
16.“It is the word of the great God,” she answered.
17.“Well,” said the judge, “place your hand upon this Bible, andlisten to what I say;” and he repeated slowly and solemnly thefollowing oath: “Do you swear that in the evidence which you shallgive in this case, you will tell the truth, and nothing but thetruth; and that you will ask God to help you?”
18.“I do,” she replied.
19.“Now,” said the judge, “you have been sworn as a witness; willyou tell me what will befall you if you do not tell thetruth?”
20.“I shall be shut up in the state prison,” answered thechild.
21.“Anything else?” asked the judge.
22.“I shall never go to heaven,” she replied.
23.“How do you know this?” asked the judge again.
24.The child took the Bible, turned rapidly to the chaptercontaining the commandments, and, pointing to the one which reads,“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor,” said, “Ilearned that before I could read.”
25.“Has anyone talked with you about being a witness in courthere against this man?” inquired the judge.
26.“Yes, sir,” she replied, “my mother heard they wanted me to bea witness; and last night she called me to her room, and asked meto tell her the Ten Commandments; and then we kneeled downtogether, and she prayed that I might understand how wicked it wasto bear false witness against my neighbor, and that God would helpme, a little child, to tell the truth as it was before him.”
27.“And when I came up here with father, she kissed me, and toldme to remember the Ninth Commandment, and that God would hear everyword that I said.”
28.“Do you believe this?” asked the judge, while a tear glistenedin his eye, and his lip quivered with emotion.
29.“Yes, sir,” said the child, with a voice and manner whichshowed that her conviction of the truth was perfect.
30.“God bless you, my child,” said the judge, “you have a goodmother. The witness is competent,” he continued. “Were I on trialfor my life, and innocent of the charge against me, I would prayGod for such a witness as this. Let her be examined.”
31.She told her story with the simplicity of a child, as she was;but her voice and manner carried conviction of her truthfulness toevery heart.
32.The lawyers asked her many perplexing questions, but she didnot vary in the least from her first statement.
33. The truth, as spoken by a little child, was sublime.Falsehood and perjury had preceded her testimony; but before hertestimony, falsehood was scattered like chaff.
34.The little child, for whom a mother had prayed for strength tobe given her to speak the truth as it was before God, broke thecunning device of matured villainy to pieces, like a potter’svessel. The strength that her mother prayed for was given her; andthe sublime and terrible simplicity,—terrible to the prisoner andhis associates,—was like a revelation from God himself.

1. 一個九歲大的小女孩被帶上法庭,作為證人將要指證一個在他父的房間行竊的嫌疑犯。
2.“來,艾米麗,”嫌疑犯的辯護律師說,“我希望瞭解你是否知道誓言的本質。”
3.“我不知道您的意思。”艾米麗簡單地迴答。
4.“尊敬的法官大人,”辯護律師對法官說,“很顯然不能用這個證人。她都不明白誓言的本質。”
5.“讓我想想,”法官說,“過來,小姑娘。”
6.法官和善的語氣和錶情讓小女孩很安心,她走嚮法官,信任地看著他的臉,眼神平靜、純潔,毫無掩飾,讓人一眼就能看透她的心靈。
7.“你發過誓嗎?”法官問。
8.小姑娘害怕地嚮後退瞭一步,血液湧上來,臉和脖子都漲紅瞭,她迴答道:“沒有,先生。”她以為法官在問她有沒有說過褻瀆神的話。
9.“我不是這個意思,”法官發現她誤解瞭,接著說,“我是問你有沒有做過證人?”
10. 她迴答:“沒有,先生,我從來沒有齣過庭。”
11. 法官遞給小女孩一本打開的《聖經》,問:“你知道這本書嗎,小姑娘?”
12. 她看瞭看說:“我知道,先生,這是《聖經》。”
13. 他問:“你讀過嗎?”
14.“是的,先生,每天晚上都讀。”
15.“你能告訴我《聖經》是什麼嗎?”法官問。
16.“這是上帝說的話。”她迴答。
17.“好的,”法官說,“把你的手放在這本《聖經》上,聽我說。”於是他緩慢而嚴肅地重復瞭如下的誓言:“你是否發誓你在為本案提供證據時,隻講實話,絕不欺騙。你會請求上帝來幫助你嗎?”
18.“我發誓。”她迴答。
19.“好的,”法官說,“你已經發誓作為一名證人。你能告訴我,如果不說實話的話你會有什麼後果嗎?”
20.“我會被關在監獄裏。”小女孩說。
21.“還有呢?”法官問。
22.“我將永遠不能去天堂瞭。”她迴答。
23.“你怎麼知道這些的?”法官接著問。
24.孩子拿過《聖經》,迅速翻到“十誡”那一章,指著其中的一節,上麵寫著:“你們不應該做僞證,陷害你們的鄰居。”孩子說,“我認字以前就知道。”
25.“有人曾經和你說過,你要在法庭上作證揭發這個人嗎?”法官問。
26.“是的,先生,”她迴答說,“我母聽說他們希望我齣庭作證之後,昨天晚上把我叫到她的房間,讓我告訴他‘十誡’是什麼,然後我們一起跪下來,她禱告說希望我知道作僞證陷害鄰居是邪惡的,她祈禱上帝保佑我,一個幼小的孩童,能夠像在上帝麵前一樣講實話。”
27.“我和父一起來這裏的時候,母吻瞭我,她告訴我要謹記第九誡的內容,她說我說的每個字上帝都會聽到的。”
28.“你相信這些嗎?”法官問,他的眼裏閃爍著淚花,嘴唇激動地顫抖著。
29.“我相信,先生。”她的聲音和神態都顯示她確信無疑。
30.“上帝保佑你,我的孩子,”法官說,“你有一個好母。你可以勝任證人的工作,”他繼續說,“如果無辜麵臨審判,我也會祈禱上帝給我派來這樣的一個證人。你們可以詢問她瞭。”
31.她用一個孩子的方式簡單敘述瞭她看到的經過,因為她就是個孩子,但她的聲音和態度令每個人從心裏對她說的話沒有絲毫疑問。
32.律師問瞭很多復雜的問題,但她的陳述始終是一緻的。
33.正如這個孩子所說,真理是神聖的。在她作證人之前有人說謊和做僞證,可是在她的證言麵前,一切虛假都像榖殼般破碎。
34.這個小孩子,她的母曾為她禱告,使她擁有講真話的力量,就像麵對上帝一樣,這把某些成年人編造的狡猾的謊言擊成碎片,仿佛打破陶器。她母嚮神禱告祈求力量,而她那崇高卻可怕的簡潔話語——對罪犯和同夥來說是可怕的——就像來自上帝的啓示一樣。
