LESSON 12 SUSIE SUNBEAM 陽光女孩蘇西

1.Susie Sunbeam was not her real name; that was Susan Brown.But every one called her Susie Sunbeam, because she had such a sweet, smiling face, and always brought brightness with her when she came.

2.Her grandfather fi rst gave her this name, and it seemed to fi t the little girl so nicely that soon it took the place of her own.

3.Even when a baby, Susie laughed and crowed from morning till night.No one ever heard her cry unless she was sick or hurt.

4.When she had learned to walk, she loved to go about the house and get things for her mother, and in this way save her as many steps as she could.

5.She would sit by her mother’s side for an hour at a time, and ask her ever so many questions, or she would take her new book and read.

6.Susie was always pleasant in her play with other children.She never used an unkind word, but tried to do whatever would please her playmates best.

7.One day, a poor little girl with a very ragged dress was going by and Susie heard some children teasing her and making fun of her.

8.She at once ran out to the gate, and asked the poor little girl to come in.“What are you crying for?” Susie asked.

9.“Because they all laugh at me,” she said.

10.Then Susie took the little girl into the house.She cheered her up with kind words, and gave her a nice dress and a pair of shoes.

11.This brought real joy and gladness to the poor child, and she, too, thought that Susie was rightly called Sunbeam.

1.陽光女孩蘇西并非她的真名，她的真名叫蘇珊·布朗。但是，人們都叫她陽光女孩蘇西，因為她長著一張甜美的笑臉，無論走到哪里，總是笑容燦爛。

2.爺爺第一個稱她為陽光女孩蘇西。此名似乎非常適合她，不久，陽光女孩蘇西就代替了她的真名。

3.即使是在蘇西嬰兒時，她也是從早到晚歡笑伴隨。除了有病或受傷，其他時候沒有人聽到過她的哭聲。

4.當她學走路時，便喜歡幫媽媽滿屋子拿東西，這樣媽媽省了很多力氣。

5.有時候她會坐在媽媽身邊，花整整一個小時問很多問題；有時候則捧著她的書看。

6.和其他小朋友玩耍時，蘇西總是歡歡喜喜。她從來不說不友好的話，盡量讓小伙伴們高興。

7.一天，當一位衣衫襤褸的貧窮小姑娘路過時，蘇西聽到別人在嘲笑她，拿她逗樂。

8.蘇西立刻跑到大門口，讓那個可憐的小姑娘進屋。“你為什么哭呀？”蘇西問道。

9.“他們都取笑我。”小姑娘說。

10.于是，蘇西將小姑娘領進屋里，用親切的話鼓勵她，并送給她一件漂亮的連衣裙和一雙鞋。

11.這帶給了這個小姑娘真正的快樂。和其他人一樣，這個小姑娘也認為蘇西是名副其實的“陽光女孩”。
