Lesson 143 A walk through the woods
林中散步
Listen to the tape then answer this question. What was so funny about the words on the sign?
听录⾳,然后回答问题。牌⼦上的字有什么可笑的地⽅?
I live in a very old town which is surrounded by beautiful woods. It is a famous beauty spot. On Sundays, hundreds of people come from the city to see our town and to walk through the woods. Visitors have been asked to keep the woods clean and tidy. Litter baskets have been placed under the trees, but people still throw their rubbish everywhere. Last Wednesday, I went for a walk in the woods. What I saw made me very sad. I counted seven old cars and three old refrigerators. The little baskets were empty and the ground was covered with pieces of paper, cigarette ends, old tyres, empty bottles and rusty tins. Among the rubbish, I found a sign which said, 'Anyone who leaves litter in these woods will be prosecuted!'
参考译⽂
我住在⼀个由美丽的树林环绕的古⽼的⼩镇上。这是⼀个的风景胜地。每适星期天,有许许多⼈从城⾥来
观赏我们的⼩镇,并在树林中散步。游客已被告知要保持树林的整洁。树下都已设置了废物筐,但是⼈们仍到处扔垃圾。上星期三我到树林⾥去散步。我所见到的⼀切使我⾮常难过。我数了⼀下,有7辆旧汽车和3上旧冰箱。废物筐是空的,⽽满地都是纸⽚、烟头、旧轮胎,空瓶⼦和⽣锈的空罐头盒。在垃圾堆中我发现了⼀块牌⼦,上⾯写着:“凡在此树林⾥丢弃垃圾者,将依法处置。
