ARTHUR LOST in the MUSEUM

Arthur 亚瑟 D.W. 朵拉

前情提要：舒老师带着亚瑟和同学们到博物馆参观。在馆内，亚瑟急急忙忙地找卫生间，却误入了印第安展厅……

“I’m in big trouble,” said Arthur, “if I don’t get out of here fast.”

He ran out the door and left the Indians behind him.

“我得赶紧离开这里，不然就麻烦了。”

亚瑟对自己说。

他飞快地跑出门，离开了那些印第安人模型。

“What’s so funny?” asked Mr. Ratburn.

He turned around and saw only Indians makingbasketsandarrows.

“什么事那么好笑？”舒老师问。

他转过身，只看见正在编篮子和做箭头的印第安人模型。

Arthurcreptalong the dark hall to the next door.

“I sure hope this is the boys’ bathroom,” hesighed.

亚瑟在走廊里摸黑朝前走，走到又一扇门前。

他自言自语地说：“但愿这一定是卫生间。”

But it wasn't a bathroom.

It was a room showing the Pilgrims’ first Thanksgiving.

可惜这也不是卫生间，里面展现的是欧洲清教徒们

在美洲大陆度过第一个感恩节时的情景。

And Arthur’s teacher was telling his class all about it.

Everyone laughed when they saw Arthur.

Mr. Ratburn turned to see what they were laughing at.

But not before Arthur became a Pilgrim boy.

舒老师正在外面给其他同学讲解这一时期的历史。

同学们看见亚瑟，又哄笑起来。

舒老师转过身去看大家到底在笑什么，可惜亚瑟已经假扮成一个清教徒小孩儿了。

When Mr. Ratburn’s class left, Arthurtook offthe Pilgrim hat.

“I’ve got to go NOW!” he said. He leftin a hurry.

直到舒老师和同学们都走开了，亚瑟才摘下清教徒的帽子。

“我得赶紧离开这儿！”他边说边慌慌张张地跑了出去。

Arthur found his class by a room with George Washington.

“What took you so long, Arthur?” asked Mr. Ratburn.

“I was making history,” said Arthur.

亚瑟在介绍乔治·华盛顿的展览橱窗前找到了舒老师和同学们。“亚瑟，你怎么去了那么久？”舒老师问。

“我呀，亲自去历史场景里逛了一圈！”亚瑟回答。
