一生必讀的英語經典美文-圣誕之夜

　　On Christmas Eve

　　A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as Christmas present. On Christmas eve, when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was looking around the shining new car, admiring it.

　　我有個朋友，保羅，在圣誕節那天收到了一份來自他哥哥的禮物，一輛轎車。在圣誕前夜，當保羅從他的辦公室走出來時，一個街頭頑童正圍著他的新車打轉地看，非常羨慕。

　　"Is this your car, Mister?" he said.

　　“這是您的汽車嗎，先生?”他說。

　　Paul nodded, "My brother gave it to me for Christmas."

　　保羅點了點頭，“我哥哥給我的圣誕禮物。”

　　The boy was astounded, "You mean your brother gave it to you, and didn't cost you anything?"

　　小男孩詫異了，“你是說你哥哥給你的，不用花你一分錢?”

　　"Boy, I wish..." he hesitated.

　　“兄弟，我希望...”他遲疑了。

　　Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he has a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paull all the way down his heels.

　　保羅當然清楚他希望什么，他希望他也有個那樣的哥哥。但這個小家伙說的話，使保羅大吃了一驚。

　　"I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that."

　　“我希望，”小男孩繼續說道，“我可以做一個那樣的哥哥。”

　　Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then inpulsivly he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"

　　保羅驚奇地看著小男孩，然后激動地說了句，“你想不想做我的車去兜兜風?”

　　"Oh, yes. I'd love that."

　　“哦，想!我喜歡!”
