Lesson 6 - Percy Buttons

原文

I have just moved to a house in Bridge Street.

Yesterday a beggar knocked at my door. He asked me for a meal and a glass of beer.

In return for this, the beggar stood on his head and sang songs. I gave him a meal. He ate the food and drank the beer.
Then he put a piece of cheese in his pocket and went away. Later a neighbour told me about him.
Everybody knows him. His name is Percy Buttons.
He calls at every house in the street once a month and always asks for a meal and a glass of beer.

译文

我刚刚搬进了大桥街的一所房子。
昨天一个乞丐来敲我的门，问我要一顿饭和一杯啤酒。作为回报，那乞丐头顶地倒立起来，嘴里还唱着歌。
我给了他一顿饭。
他把食物吃完，又喝了酒。然后把一块乳酪装进衣袋里走了。

Lesson 9 - A cold welcome

On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall.

It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock.
It would strike twelve in twenty minutes’ time.
Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move.
We waited and waited, but nothing happened.
Suddenly someone shouted, ‘It’s two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!"
I looked at my watch. It was true.
The big clock refused to welcome the New Year.
At that moment, everybody began to laugh and sing.
