LESSON 45 RAIN
第四十五课 雨
Rain comes from the clouds. Look, there are black clouds now in the sky. How fast they move along! See, they have hidden the sun. They have covered up the sun, just as you cover up your face when you put something over it. But there is one little bit of blue sky still.
雨从云层而来。看，现在天空中布满了乌云。它们移动的多快呀！快看，它们把太阳藏起来了，它们覆盖住了太阳，就像你用东西盖住了脸一样。但是仍有一小片蓝天。
Now there is no blue sky at all: it is all black with the clouds. It is very dark, like night. It will rain soon.
现在完全没有蓝天了，全部是乌云，天色很黑像晚上。很快就会下雨了。
Now the rain begins. What large drops! The ducks are very glad; but the little birds are not glad,—they go and shelter themselves under the trees.
现在雨开始下了，雨滴好大呀！鸭子很开心但是鸟儿一点都不高兴---它们飞到树底下找栖息地。
Now the rain is over. It was only a shower. Now the flowers smell sweet, and the bright sun shines, and the little birds sing again.
现在雨停了。刚刚下了阵雨，现在花儿香味更甜了，太阳开始放光了，小鸟又开始歌唱了。
