Lesson 27 A wet night 雨夜 What happened to the boys in the night? Late in the afternoon, the boys put up their tent in the middle of a field. As soon as this was done, they cooked a meal over an open fire. They were all hungry and the food smelled good. After a wonderful meal, they told stories and sang songs by the campfire. But some time later it began to rain. The boys felt tired so they put out the fire and crept into their tent. Their sleeping bags were warm and comfortable, so they all slept soundly. In the middle of the night, two boys woke up and began shouting. The tent was full of water! They all leapt out of their sleeping bags and hurried outside. It was raining heavily and they found that a stream had formed in the field. The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under their tent! 傍晚時分，孩子們在田野中央搭起了帳篷。這件事剛剛做完，他們就在篝火上燒起了飯。他們?nèi)拣I了，飯菜散發(fā)出陣陣香味。他們美美地吃了一頓飯后，就圍在營火旁講起了故事，唱起了歌。但過了一陣子。天下起雨來，于是他們撲滅了篝火，鉆進了帳篷。睡袋既暖和又舒服，所以，他們都睡得很香。午夜前后，有兩個孩子醒了，大聲叫了起來。原來帳篷里到處都是水！他們?nèi)继鏊?，跑到外面。雨下得很大，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)地上已經(jīng)形成了一條小溪。那小溪彎彎曲曲穿過田野，然后正好從他們的帳篷底下流過去。 tent n. 帳篷 field n. 田地，田野 smell v. 聞起來 wonderful adj. 極好的 campfire n. 營火，篝火 creep v. 爬行 sleeping bag 睡袋 comfortable adj. 舒適的，安逸的 soundly adv. 香甜地 leap v. 跳躍，跳起 heavily adv. 大量地 stream n. 小溪 form v. 形成 wind v. 蜿蜒 right adv. 正好
