A little boy was spending his Saturday morning playing in his sandbox. He had with him his box of cars and trucks , his plastic pail , and a shiny , red plastic shovel. In the process of creating roads and tunnels in the soft sand , he discovered a large rock in the middle of the sandbox. 在一个周六的早上，一个小男孩在他的沙箱里玩耍，还带了一盒子的玩具车、一只塑料桶和一把闪闪发亮的塑料小红铲。在柔软的沙中堆砌道路和隧道的过程中，他在沙箱的中央发现了一块大石头。 The boy dug around the rock , managing to dislodge it from the dirt. With a little bit of struggle , he pushed and nudged the rock across the sandbox by using his feet. ( He was a very small boy, and the rock was very large.) When the boy got the rock to the edge of the sandbox ,however, he found that he couldnt roll it up and over the little wall. 小男孩在石头的周围挖呀挖，成功地把它从泥沙中挖了出来。接着，他有点吃力把石头往沙箱上推。(他只是个小男孩，石头显得很大。)当他把石头推到沙箱的边缘是，却发现自己没办法把石头滚过沙箱那堵矮小的墙。 Determined , the little boy shoved, pushed, and pried, but every time he thought he had made some progres the rock tipped and then fell back into the sandbox . The little boy grunted, struggled, pushed , and shoved; but his only reward was to have the rock roll back , smashing his chubby fingers . 小男孩下定决心要把石头移走，他又推又撬，但每次自以为取得一些成果时，那石头又滚了下来掉回沙箱中。小男孩咕哝着，使尽全力去推。但唯一的结果就是石头滚回来，撞到他胖胖的手指上。 |
