第12章 THE SWING 秋千

Fred and his little sister Lucy are on the swing in the garden.

Look what a nice large seat of wood it has! It is so large that it holds them both.

This is the first day Lucy has been on the swing, so she is a little afraid.

But Fred will take care of her, and keep her from falling.

Look at her as she sits by his side and holds on by the rope.

When all is ready, Fred says, One, two, three, and away!

Up and down, on we go;

Here we swing to and fro!

弗莱德和他的妹妹露茜正在花园里荡秋千。

看！多好的木制大座子！它大到可以容纳他们两个人。

这是露茜第一次坐秋千，所以她有点害怕。

但是弗莱德会照顾好妹妹，不让她摔下来。

瞧！露茜坐在哥哥旁边，手里紧紧抓着绳子。

当一切都准备好了，弗莱德说道：“一，二，三，走起！”

上上下下不停晃，

来回只把秋千荡！
