Come away from the water, Shirley

宁灵/摘编

绘本导读

一个天气日青朗的午后，小女孩莎莉跟随爸爸妈妈来到海滩。他们会在這里度过一个愉快的下午吧？莎莉会不会像你一样，跳进海水里痛痛快快地游泳，在沙滩上搭城堡、捡贝壳……然而，莎莉却听到妈妈说：“莎莉，离水远一点！”

著名世界绘本大师伯宁罕，这回在绘本中用上了神奇的双线结构：一条故事线是在现实之中，妈妈顾虑重重，一再叮嘱莎莉不要到海水中去;另一条故事线是在想象之中，莎莉不仅划着小船驶向大海，还跟海盗们战斗，到荒岛探险，最后还找到了宝藏凯旋而归！快跟上莎莉去放飞想象吧！

Of course it ' s far too cold for swimming， Shirley.

We are going to put our chairs up here.

Why don ' t you go and play with those children？

Mind you don ' t get any of that filthy tar on your nice new shoes.

Don ' t stroke that dog， Shirley， you don ' t know where he ' s been.

That' s the third and last time I' m asking you whether you want adrink， Shirley.

Careful where you ' re throwing stones. You might hit someone.

You won ' t bring any of that smelly seaweed home， will you， Shirley？

We ought to be getting back soon.

Good heavens！ Just look at the time. We are going to be late if we don ' t hurry.
