SOMEBODY‘S GRANDPA
某人的爷爷
1.Oh，cried Emma Rich，out of breath with running to catch up with Julia Kent，there is an old man coming down Pine street，and he walks so queer！The boys are pestering him，and it frightened me almost to death！
2.Julia looked around，yet she saw no one but Emma，pale and trembling，at her side.How did he look？asked Julia.Awfully！answered Emma，who saw him through her fears.
3..J u s t t h e n a n o l d man，whose walk was r a t h e r c r o o k e d ，c a m e around the corner，with a pack of rude boys behind him.Let us run away！cried Emma.
4.I should think those，boys would be ashamed t o t r e a t a n o l d m a n so，-he is somebody’s grandpa，said Julia.
5.Oh！I am so scared！cried Emma again.Scared！said Julia，indignantly，then run.And Emma did run；but Julia went back.
6.O，what a sight she saw！There were three rude boys teasmg an old man.
7.Julia felt indignat，and she could hardly help crying，on seeing him treated so.
8.Boys，said she，I think you ought to be ashamed of yourselves，to treat a poor old man so.He is somebody‘s grandpa，and how would you like it if your grandpa were treated so？
9.Who are you？cried the rude boys；and they began to sneer at her.You may laugh and sneer at me as much as you please，but it is too bad to treat an old man so.
10.I hear a friendly voice，said the old man，but can notsee where it comes from；for I am blind！
11.It comes from me，sir，answered the kind little girl；and going up to him，she said，I will lead you home if you will let me.It must be hard not to see，and may be you have lost your way.
12.Yes，my dear child，I have lost my way，said the old blind man.I came here to visit my daughter who lives on Jay street.I just stepped out to sun myself and somehow I lost my way.
13.The boys think I am drunk；for a poor old blind man in a strange place can not walk very straight.But how came you to befriend me？
14.Oh sir，replied Julia，I thought you must be somebody’s grandpa，and I could not bear to see you treated so.May I lead you home，sir？
15.Yes，child，and God bless you，said the old man.And as Julia led him away the rude boys sneaked off like cowards，as they were；for no brave boy will ever treat the aged or infirm unkindly.

1.噢，艾玛o 里奇高声呼叫，跑得上气不接下气追赶茱莉亚o 肯特，有一个老人沿着松树街走来，他走路好奇怪！男孩们缠着他，我被吓得几乎死掉！
2.茱莉亚四周张望，可是除了艾玛之外她谁也没看见，艾玛在她身边，脸色苍白，浑身颤抖。他什么样子？茱莉亚问。很可怕！艾玛回答，她恐惧的眼神中似乎看见了他。
3.就在此时，一个老人，他走路走得歪歪扭扭，来到了拐角处，身后跟着一群粗鲁的男孩。让我们逃跑吧！艾玛呼喊。
4.我会觉得那些男孩这样对待一个老人应该感到羞耻--他是某人的爷爷，茱莉亚说。
5.噢！我太害怕了！艾玛又喊。害怕！茱莉亚愤怒地说，然后跑开。艾玛确实是跑了，可茱莉亚回来了。
6.噢，她看见了怎样的一幕啊！三个无礼的男孩在取笑一个老人。
7.茱莉亚感到义愤填膺，看见他被如此对待，她忍不住哭了。
8.男孩们，她说，我认为你们应该为自己感到羞耻，竟然这样对待一个老人。他是位老爷爷了，如果你们的爷爷被人如此对待，你们会怎么想？
9.你是谁？那些无礼的男孩高声喊，然后他们开始嘲笑她。你们高兴的话尽管嘲笑我，但是这样对待一个老人真是太坏了。
10.我听见一个温和的声音，那位老人说，可是我不清楚它是从哪里来的，因为我是个盲人。
11.它来自于我，先生，善良的小姑娘回答。迎着他走上前去，她说，如果你允许的话，我愿意带领您回家去。眼睛看不见一定很辛苦，你可能迷路了。
12.是的，我亲爱的孩子，我迷路了，老盲人说。我到这里来看望我那住在松鸡路的女儿。我只是向着太阳走了出来，不知道为什么我迷路了。
13.男孩们以为我喝醉了，因为一个可怜的瞎眼老人在一个陌生的地方不可能走得很直。可是你为什么友好地帮助我？
14.噢，先生，茱莉亚回答，我想您肯定是某个人的爷爷，而我不能忍受看见你被如此对待。我能带领你回家吗，先生？
15.是的，孩子，上帝保佑你，老人说。当茱莉亚领着他离开的时候，男孩们像胆小鬼一样悄悄溜走了，他们本就是胆小鬼，因为勇敢的男孩从来不会刻薄地对待老人或弱者。
