美国小学英语教材4:第196课 第一个感恩节(7)

 Edward.  undefined

哦，爸爸！你要去猎捕火鸡吗？我可以和你一起去吗？ 

Do you think that I can shoot a bear? Or maybe a deer? Then Betty can have a deer-skin dress such as Squanto says the Indian maids wear. 你觉得我能射到一只熊吗？或者一只鹿吗？那样的话，贝蒂就可以穿鹿皮裙了，史广多说印第安少女穿那种裙子。

Robert. Squanto says that the bears are very fierce, and that the deer are so swift that they can run away much faster than a small boy with a heavy gun can follow. 罗伯特：史广多说熊非常凶猛，鹿跑得飞快，它们要比拿着沉重猎枪的小男孩跑得快多了。

Father. Do not try for bear, Edward, until you have learned to shoot, or we may have a sad Thanksgiving day. 父亲：爱德华，在你学会射击之前，别尝试猎熊，否则我们就要过悲伤的感恩节了。

Miles Standish. Good day to you all! Who of you would like to go for a hunt tomorrow? We shall need many turkeys to feed Massasoit and his ninety men. 迈尔斯·斯坦迪士：大家好！你们谁明天想去打猎？我们需要很多火鸡才能喂饱酋长马萨索德和他的九十名手下。

Father. Welcome, Captain! There are three here to join you, for Richard shall go with us tomorrow, on his first hunt. 父亲：欢迎船长的到来！这里有三个人要和你一起去，因为理查德明天要和我们一起去，这是他第一次打猎。

Richard. How glad I am, Father, that you will let me go! Squanto says the turkeys are very plentiful¹ this year, and big and fat. 罗伯特：爸爸，我真高兴你能让我去！史广多说今年火鸡特别多，又大又胖。

Miles Standish. After the hunt we will practice shooting. Then at the feast² we can show the Indians how well we can defend ourselves. 迈尔斯·斯坦迪士：狩猎后，我们要练习射击。这样在宴会上，我们可以向印第安人展示我们能够很好地自卫。
