「Aunty Caroline and Imran went into the garden.」
「卡洛琳姨妈和伊姆兰来到了花园里。」
「“Shall we pick some blackberries?” Aunty Caroline asked.」
「“我们要不要去摘采一些黑莓呢？”卡洛琳姨妈问道。」
「“Yes! Can we walk up Blackberry Hill?” said Imran.」
「“好啊！我们可以到黑莓山上去吗？”伊姆兰说。」
「“Good idea,” said Aunty Caroline.」
「“好主意。”卡洛琳姨妈说。」
So, we spoke about capital letters. Blackberries are little things that you pick in the garden, it's a berry which is black. They're very sweet and very nice to eat on their own, or you can cook them as well. They grow on a bramble plant which isn't very nice. It's got thorns on it, and they scratch it. I've got lots of blackberries in my garden, you pick them in about August and September.
因此，我们曾谈到了大写字母的话题。“blackberries（黑莓）”是你在花园里采摘的小东西，它是一种黑色浆果。它们非常甜，你可以把它们单独作为水果吃，或者你也可以把它们煮着吃。它们生长在一种荆棘植物上，这不是很好。它上面的尖刺会把黑莓划伤。我的花园里种植了大量的黑莓，你可以在大约8月份和9月份采摘它们。
But they're going up Blackberry Hill. It's the name of the road, it's a place. Therefore, that's why it has a capital letter for “Blackberry”, where before when it says “Shall we pick some blackberries?” you don't need to have a capital letter.
他们要到黑莓山上去。这是路的名字，是一个地方的名字。因此，这就是为什么它的“Blackberry”需要大写首字母，而前面当说到“我们要不要采一些黑莓呢？”的时候，则不需要将“blackberries”的首字母大写。
「It was a lovely sunny day. As they walked up Blackberry Hill, they saw butterflies flitting around the flowers. 」
「那是一个可爱的阳光灿烂的日子。当他们来到黑莓山上时，他们看到蝴蝶在花丛中翩翩起舞。 」
「From the top of the hill, they could see cows, sheep and horses. Imran spotted a train in the distance. It looked as small as a toy. 」
「从山顶上，他们可以看到牛、羊和马。伊姆兰还发现远处有一列火车。它看起来就像玩具一样小。 」
Now, there's just a couple of things here. Flitting. If you flit...it's what butterflies do. They fly to one flower and then fly to another. They're flapping their wings. But we say “they're flitting around”. They're moving around in all different shapes and different ways. It's “flitting around”.
现在，这里有些细节需要注意。flitting（飞舞/飞来飞去）。如果你飞舞着……这是蝴蝶的举止动作，它们飞到一朵花上，然后再飞到另一朵花上。它们拍打着翅膀。但我们说的是“they're flitting around”。它们以各种不同的形态和不同的方式四处移动着。这就是飞舞/飞来飞去的意思。
Sometimes we might say at school, “when you sit down, stop flitting around” means you're going from desk to desk, walking around desk to desk to desk to desk. So that's what that word means. It's “they’re flitting”, it's telling us what the butterflies are doing.
有时我们在学校可能会说，“when you sit down, stop flitting around（当你坐下来后，就不要再到处乱跑了）”。这里的“flitting around”意思是你从一个桌子走到另一个桌子，在桌子与桌子之间走来走去。这就是“flitting around”的意思。这里的“they’re flitting”告诉我们这些蝴蝶正在做什么。
And can you see, it says “cows, sheep and horses”. Now, for some of you, you might think that's a bit strange. There is more than one sheep. In fact, if we count them, I think there are one, two, three. So we would think that we would say “There were cows, sheeps and horses”.
你能看到吗，这里写着“cows, sheepand horses（牛、羊和马）”。你们中的一些人可能认为这有点奇怪。这里有不止一只羊。事实上，如果我们数一数，我想这里有一只、两只、三只羊。所以我们会认为，我们应该说“cows, sheepsand horses”。
But “sheep” is one of those funny words that doesn't change when there is more than one. One sheep. Three sheep. We don't say “sheeps”. We only use “sheep’s” when we're talking about like “it was on the sheep’s back”. But more than one sheep is still “sheep”. It doesn't change. One of those funny ones.
但是“sheep（羊）”是一个有趣的词，当它不是单数的时候，单词的拼写依旧无需改变。One sheep（一只羊）。Three sheep（三只羊）。我们不会说“sheeps”。我们只有在说道例如“it was on the sheep’s back（它在羊的背上）”时，才会用到/ʃiːpz/这样的发音。但是当多于一只羊时，其复数仍然是“sheep”。单词写法无需改变。这是类似词语中的一个有趣例子。
「They picked some big, juicy blackberries.」
「他们摘了一些大而多汁的黑莓。」
「“Come on,” said Aunty Caroline. “I'll race you home.”」
「“走吧，”卡洛琳姨妈说，“我和你赛跑回家。”」
「Off they ran, across the field. Imran loved staying with Aunty Caroline.」
「他们跑了起来，穿过田野。依姆兰喜欢和卡洛琳姨妈待在一起。」
I think he's having a nice time. And look, big juicy blackberries. So we got a describing word there, an adjective. But we've got more than one. It's good because in our mind, we can think about what these blackberries are like. They're big, but they're not just big, they're big juicy blackberries. I wonder what other words you could think of.
我想他度过了一段愉快的时光。看，大而多汁的黑莓。所以我们在这里得到了一个描述性词汇，一个形容词。但我们有不止一个。这很不错，因为在我们的头脑中，我们可以想象这些黑莓是什么样的。它们很大，但它们不仅仅是大，它们是大而多汁的黑莓。我想知道你还能想到什么其他的形容词呢？
「When they got home, Imran and Aunty Caroline made blackberry pie. It was yummy! 」
「回到家后，伊姆兰和卡洛琳姨妈做了黑莓派。味道好极了！」
「At bedtime, Imran looked around for Fergus.」
「到了睡觉的时候，伊姆兰四处寻找着弗格斯。」
「“Aunty,” he asked, “have you seen Fergus? I can't find him.”」
「“姨妈，”他问，“你有看到弗格斯吗？我找不到他了。”」
「“Oh, maybe you dropped him in the garden,” said Aunty Caroline. “Let's go and look.”」
「“噢，也许你把他丢在花园里了，”卡洛琳姨妈说，“我们去找找看吧。”」
「Aunty Caroline and Imran looked all around the garden, but Fergus wasn't there.」
「卡洛琳姨妈和伊姆兰在花园里四处寻找着，但没有找到弗格斯。」
「“I must have dropped him up on the hill,” said Imran. “We have to go and look for him!”」
「“我一定是把他丢在山上了，”伊姆兰说，“我们必须去找他！”」
「“We can't go now,” said Aunty Caroline. “It's too late.”」
「“我们不能现在去，”卡洛琳阿姨说，“已经很晚了。”」
「“But I can't go to sleep without him,” Imran said with a frown.」
「“可是如果没有他，我就睡不着了。”伊姆兰皱着眉头说。」
Oh dear. How do you think Imran is feeling? Not very happy.
哦，天哪。你认为伊姆兰的感觉如何？他不太高兴。
「Aunty Caroline shook her head.」
「卡洛琳姨妈摇了摇头。」
「“It will be too dark to find Fergus,” she said. “We’ll lookin the morning.”」
「“天色已经很晚了，我们很难找到弗格斯的，”她说，“我们明天早上再去找吧。”」
So can you see “we’ll”. W,e, apostrophe, l, l. This is one of those contractions, where it should say - if we were writing it fully -“we will look in the morning”. But you can shorten it to “we’ll” that's how people speak.
你能看到“we'll”这个词组吗，“we’ll”。这是常用缩略语之一，如果我们把它写完整的话，它应该是——“we willlook in the morning”。但你可以把它缩短为“we’ll”，这是人们的说话方式。
We often say “we'll go up to the park” rather than “we will go up to the park”. But sometimes we say “we will”, “we will do that afterwards” or you could say “we'll do that afterwards”.
我们经常说“we'll go up to the park（我们去公园）”，而不是“we will go up to the park”。但有时我们也会说“wewill”。例如，“we will do that afterwards（我们稍后再做）”，或者你可以说“we'll do that afterwards”。
「Imran turned to follow Aunty Caroline into the house when he noticed a long piece of white wool in the rose bush. He picked it up.」
「伊姆兰正要转身跟着卡洛琳姨妈进屋，这时他注意到玫瑰花丛中有一根长长的白色羊毛线。他把它捡了起来。」
「“Look,” he cried. “I think this wool isfrom a Fergus!”」
「“看哪，”他喊道，“我想这是来自弗格斯身上的羊毛线！”」
「Aunty Caroline shone her torch to see where the trail of wool went.」
「卡洛琳姨妈用手电筒照了照，看了看这条羊毛线的去向。」
「“Itlooks as if Fergus got caught onthe bush and started to come undone,” she said.」
「“看起来弗格斯好像是被灌木丛卡住了，而且身上的毛线开始松散开来。”她说。」
「“So the wool will lead us to him,” cried Imran. “Come on!”」
「“所以这条羊毛线会带着我们找到他，”伊姆兰喊道。“走吧！”」
「Imran and Aunty Caroline followed the wool along the path back up the hill. And there, at the top, was Fergus!」
「伊姆兰和卡洛琳姨妈跟着羊毛线沿着小路回到了山上。就在那山顶上，他们看到了弗格斯！」
So can you see he's got his torch, a red torch, shining looking for Fergus. I wonder whether you have a torch at home? They're quite useful, aren't they? Most of us nowadays, have a little torch already on our phones.
所以你能看到费格斯拿着他的手电筒吗，一个红色的手电筒，用它照着寻找弗格斯。我想知道你家里是否有手电筒呢？它们相当有用，不是吗？时至今日，我们大多数人的手机上都有一个小小的手电筒。
They're quite handy. If I have to go out in the garden with my dogs late at night, I can see where I am going. So I don't fall down any rabbit holes which we have a lot of in our garden.
它们真的很方便。如果我必须在深夜带着我的狗狗们到花园里去，我可以通过它看清楚方向，所以我不会掉进任何兔子洞，我们的花园里有很多兔子洞。
「“Oh Fergus!” Imran cried, hugging him. “Look at your poor leg!”」
「“哦，弗格斯！”伊姆兰抱着他，哭道。“看看你那可怜的腿！”」
「“At least you found him,” said Aunty Caroline. “Now home to bed.”」
「“至少你找到了他，”卡洛琳姨妈说，“现在回家睡觉吧。”」
「In bed, Imran snuggled up to Fergus.」
「在床上，依姆兰依偎在弗格斯身边。」
「“I'll never ever lose him again,” he told Aunty Caroline.」
「“我再也不会失去他了。”他对卡洛琳姨妈说。」
「When Imran woke up the next morning, he had a big surprise.」
「当伊姆兰第二天早上醒来时，他得到了一个大惊喜。」
What do you think the surprise might be?
你认为这个惊喜可能是什么呢？
「“Did you mend Fergus while I was asleep?” he asked Aunty Caroline.」
「“在我睡着的时候，您缝补好了费格斯吗？”他问卡洛琳姨妈。」
「“Yes,” she smiled.」
「“是的。”她微笑道。」
「“Oh, thank you,” cried Imran, cuddling Fergus. “He's as good as new!”」
「“噢，谢谢您，”伊姆兰抱着费格斯喊道，“他就像新的一样！”」
Well, that's a nice happy ending to our little story today, isn't it? Poor Imran. There is nothing worse than losing something that you really like. It makes us feel really sad. It's one of those accidents that sometimes happens, and he was lucky to find it.
好吧，我们今天的小故事有一个圆满的结局，不是吗？可怜的伊姆兰。没有什么比失去你真正喜欢的东西更糟糕的了。这让我们感到非常难过。这是有时候会发生的意外之一，费格斯能把它找回来真的很幸运。
Andhis Aunty Caroline was very kind, and helped to repair Fergus, to make him like new.
而他的卡洛琳姨妈非常善良，帮忙把弗格斯的腿修补好了，使他看起来焕然一新。
