一生必读的英语经典美文-圣诞之夜

　　A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as Christmas present. On Christmas eve, when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was looking around the shining new car, admiring it.

　　我有个朋友，保罗，在圣诞节那天收到了一份来自他哥哥的礼物，一辆轿车。在圣诞前夜，当保罗从他的办公室走出来时，一个街头顽童正围着他的新车打转地看，非常羡慕。

　　"Is this your car, Mister?" he said.

　　“这是您的汽车吗，先生?”他说。

　　Paul nodded, "My brother gave it to me for Christmas."

　　保罗点了点头，“我哥哥给我的圣诞礼物。”

　　The boy was astounded, "You mean your brother gave it to you, and didn't cost you anything?"

　　小男孩诧异了，“你是说你哥哥给你的，不用花你一分钱?”

　　"Boy, I wish..." he hesitated.

　　“兄弟，我希望...”他迟疑了。

　　Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he has a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paull all the way down his heels.

　　保罗当然清楚他希望什么，他希望他也有个那样的哥哥。但这个小家伙说的话，使保罗大吃了一惊。

　　"I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that."

　　“我希望，”小男孩继续说道，“我可以做一个那样的哥哥。”

　　Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then inpulsivly he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"

　　保罗惊奇地看着小男孩，然后激动地说了句，“你想不想做我的车去兜兜风?”

　　"Oh, yes. I'd love that."

　　“哦，想!我喜欢!”
