第 44 课 · 穿过森林 Lesson 44 · Through the forest

安妮·斯特林太太独自追着两个男人跑过一片森林时,根本没有想到她所承担的风险。

Mrs. Anne Sterling did not think of the risk she was taking when she ran through a forest after two men.

他们趁她和孩子们在森林边缘野餐时冲了过来,试图抢走她的手提包。

They had rushed up to her while she was having a picnic at the edge of a forest with her children and tried to steal her handbag.

在争夺中,背带断了,两个男人带着那只包开始穿过树林跑走。

In the struggle, the strap broke and, with the bag in their possession, both men started running through the trees.

斯特林太太气得她追了上去。

Mrs. Sterling got so angry that she ran after them.

她很快就上气不接下气了,但她还是继续跑。

She was soon out of breath, but she continued to run.

当她追上他们时,她看到他们已经坐下来,正在翻看包里的东西,于是她径直冲了过去。

When she caught up with them, she saw that they had sat down and were going through the contents of the bag, so she ran straight at them.

那两个男人被吓得魂飞魄散,扔下包就跑了。

The men got such a fright that they dropped the bag and ran away.

"背带需要缝补,"Mrs. Sterling 事后说,"但他们什么都没偷走。"

'The strap needs mending,' said Mrs. Sterling later, 'but they did not steal anything.'
