英文閱讀欣賞《小男孩和大樹》

There is a big apple tree in the countryside. A little boy likes to come and play with the tree every day. He climbs to the top of the tree, eats red apples, and has a short sleep under the tree. The apple tree is the little boy's best friend. They have a lot of fun together.

鄉下有一棵大蘋果樹。一個小男孩喜歡每天來和樹玩。他爬到樹頂，吃紅蘋果，在樹下睡了一會兒。蘋果樹是小男孩最好的朋友。他們在一起玩得很開心。

When the boy is 6 years old, he goes to school. He has no time to play with the apple tree. One day, the boy comes back to the tree. He is very sad. And he says," I want to buy some toys. I need some money." "Sorry, I don't have money. But you can pick all the apples and sell them. The boy doesn't come back after that. The apple tree is sad.

當這個男孩六歲時，他就去上學了。他沒有時間玩蘋果樹。一天，男孩回到樹上。他很傷心。他說，“我想買些玩具。我需要一些錢。“對不起，我沒有錢。但你可以把所有的蘋果都摘下來賣掉。那之後男孩沒有回來。蘋果樹很悲傷。

The boy doesn't appear for a long time. The apple tree is lonely. He gets older and older. One day, the boy returns again. "I'm busy with my job. I'm tired. So I want to have a trip to relax. Can you help me?"" Don't worry! Use my trunk to make a boat. You can row a boat." Then the boy has a boat. He goes sailing.

這個男孩很久沒出現了。蘋果樹很寂寞。他越來越老了。有一天，男孩又回來了。”我在忙我的工作。我累了。所以我想去旅行放鬆一下。你能幫我嗎？”“別擔心！用我的樹幹做一艘船。你可以划船。”然後男孩有了一條船。他去航行了。

Many years later, the boy returns. "Sorry, my boy, I don't have anything for you anymore. But you can have a rest on my tree root." The old apple tree says. The boy sits down with tears and the old apple tree is still very happy.

許多年後，男孩回來了。”對不起，我的孩子，我再也沒有東西給你了。但是你可以在我的樹根上休息一下。”老蘋果樹說。男孩淚流滿面地坐下來，那棵老蘋果樹仍然很快樂。
