美国语文第一册 第93期:鹦鹉

 Lucy has a new pet. Do you know what kind of bird it is? 露西养了一只新宠物。你知道这是一只什么鸟吗？

Lucy calls her Polly. 露西叫它波利。

Polly can say, “Poor Poll! Poor Poll! Polly wants a cracker;” 波利会说：“可怜的鹦鹉！可怜的鹦鹉！波利想要一块饼干。

and she can mew like a cat.” 另外，她还会学猫叫呢。

But Polly and the cat are not good friends.  但波利和猫不是好朋友。

One day Polly flew down, and lit upon the cat’s back when she was asleep. 一天，当这只猫睡觉的时候，波利飞了下来，然后落在了这只猫的背上。

I think she knew the cat would not like that, and she did it to tease her. 我想它知道猫不喜欢这样，它这么做是为了欺负这只猫。

When Lucy pets the cat, Polly flies up into the old apple tree,  当露西逗弄这只猫玩时，波利就飞到大苹果树上。

and will not come when she calls her. Then Lucy says, “What a silly bird!” 露西叫它的时候，它也不出来。露西说：“这只鸟真淘气！”
