Lesson 30 Football or polo? 足球還是水球？ What happened to the man in the boat? The Wayle is a small river that cuts across the park near my home. I like sitting by the Wayle on fine afternoons. It was warm last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual. Some children were playing games on the bank and there were some people rowing on the river. Suddenly, one of the children kicked a ball very hard and it went towards a passing boat. Some people on the bank called out to the man in the boat, but he did not hear them. The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell into the water. I turned to look at the children, but there werent any in sight: they had all run away! The man laughed when he realized what had happened. He called out to the children and threw the ball back to the bank. 威爾河是橫穿過我家附近公園的一條小河。我喜歡在天氣晴朗的下午到河邊坐坐。上星期日天氣很暖和。于是我和往常一樣，又去河邊坐著。河岸上有些孩子正在玩耍，河面上有些人正在劃船。突然，一個孩子狠狠地踢了一腳球，球便向著一只劃過來的小船飛去。岸上的一些人對著小船上的人高喊，但他沒有聽見。球重重地打在他身上，使他差點兒落入水中。我轉(zhuǎn)過頭去看那些孩子，但一個也不見，全都跑了！當那個人明白了發(fā)生的事情時，笑了起來。他大聲叫著那些孩子，把球扔回到岸上。 polo n. 水球 Wayle n. 威爾（河名） cut v. 穿過 row v. 劃（船） kick v. 踢 towards prep. 朝，向 nearly adv. 幾乎 sight n. 眼界，視域
