心胸宽阔 My best friend Larry is exceptionally small. Were in the fifth grade, but Larry is as short as a first grader. Although his body is small, Larry is big at heart. He has a sharp mind, too. All the kids who know Larry like him a lot. 我最好的朋友拉里特别矮小。我们上五年级，可拉里矮小得跟一年级生一样。虽然他身材矮小，但他有开阔的心胸。此外，他思想敏锐。所有认识拉里的孩子都很喜欢他。 Sometimes he gets his share of teasing, but Larry knows how to handle it. When some smart mouth calls him Dopey, Sleepy or Bashful, Larry just laughs and starts humming, Hi, Ho! 有时拉里遭到别人的取笑，可他知道如何应对。当某个说话放肆的人叫他笨小子 、睏小子或害羞虫时，拉里只是一笑了之，随后哼哼两声：嗨，嗬! Larry loves sports, but he cant play some, like football. One tackle and he would be wiped out. But one sport seems to be made for Larrybaseball. Hes our star player. The legs that are too short for track and hurdles can pump up and down, carrying him around those bases faster than you can see. He can slide to safety under a baseman before hes noticed. And when hes in the field, he catches and throws that ball like the biggest of us. 拉里酷爱运动，可有些运动项目他参加不了，比如橄榄球。对方球员在阻截时，一下子就可以抱住他并把他彻底撂倒。不过有一项运动似乎是为他而设的棒球。他是我们的明星队员。他的一双腿太短，不适合赛跑和跨栏，但却能像唧筒似地上下运动，带着他飞快地踏垒，快得让你都来不及看。他能在别人还没来得及注意到他之前就在守垒员身下安全滑垒了。在球场上，他的接球和投球就跟我们最高大的队员一样。 |
