Chapter 2
Down the Stairs

&`&Tm bored," said a voice. It was a strange voice.
It sounded like a computer.
"Let&`&s go, go, go.”
It was the robot dog.
"Who are you?" asked a do l.
"Hi there! I&`&m Rob, "said the dog.
He wagged his metal tail
"Well, mind my dress," said the doll.
"The sparkly bits come off very easily."
"No problem," answered Rob.
&`&Tm Jilly," the doll added.
“I belong to Sarah. That&`&s Teddy."
A furry teddy bear in the bottom of the box sat up. He rubbed his eyes with his paws. He looked half asleep.

“So come on. Let&`&s go and see the night life," said Rob.
Jilly and Teddy stared at him.
"What? Go downstairs?" said Jilly.
"We never go anywhere. We stay put."
"Time for a change then," said Rob, cheerfully.
"Let&`&s go, go, go." Jilly giggled.
"AII right," she said. "Let me take off my high heeled shoes first."
Then she climbed out of the box.
She was good at climbing.

"Coming, Teddy?"
Rob began to move smoothly.
He was whirring gently.
"It&`&s very dark," said Teddy.
"No problem," answered Rob.
A light, set in his head, switched on.
It made a bright, narrow path in front of Rob.
"That&`&s good," said Jilly. "1 want an adventure.”

"Don&`&t leave me," squeaked Teddy.
He scrambled out of the box.
He did not feel very happy. He did not want an adventure.
Adventures were dangerous.
He sighed and hurried after them.

学习秘诀：
①：闭眼听完，理解故事，遇生词先甭管，继续往后听；
②：快速阅读，验证你听到和看到的剧情是否不搭嘎；
③：对照文字再次听故事，这次要注意细节，生词。帅的人都能通过情节和配图猜出生词，先大胆猜，再去问度娘确认。
④：反复听音频听到吐，并尝试跟读。
⑤：脱离音频，自行朗读。想装逼就背诵全文。
整个过程可以在葛优躺的沙发上、在公交地铁里、在洗手间内...可以在ANYWHERE完成！但多数人就是宁可懒死也不肯开金口说英语，这就是为啥成功者只有那么一小撮~

Chapter 1
Ben’s Birthday

It was the night of Ben &`& s birthday.
He was trying to get to sleep
But he couldn &`& t.
There was his best present, shining and silver.
It was a robot dog.
It was brilliant! It barked.
It came for its bone.
It even fell asleep and snored
He called it Robo-dog. Rob for short.

Ben got out of bed and started to play with Rob.
Mum had to come upstairs three times.
Then she took Rob and put him in the toy box outside Ben &`& s room.
After that, Ben fell asleep.
At last, the house was quiet.
Everything was dark. Nothing moved.

Just after midnight, a red light glowed in the toy box.
Beep, beep, beep!
Fast asleep in his bedroom, Ben heard nothing.
Something was moving. The red light began to flash.

男孩将会有怎样的遭遇？
蜜汁复仇？恶犬食尸？
咱们下节再唠，先别想太多，收干货↓

2016年9月7日，农历八月初七，白露。

白露是农历二十四节气中的第十五个节气，当太阳到达黄经165度时为白露。

白露，天气渐转凉，会在清晨时分发现地面和叶子上有许多露珠，这是因夜晚水汽凝结在上面，故名。

古人以四时配五行，秋属金，金色白，故以白形容秋露。进入“白露”，晚上会感到一丝丝的凉意。

白露，听Sally为你读Song at the Beginning of Autumn《初秋之歌》


Song at the Beginning of Autumn
初秋之歌
By Elizabeth Jennings
舒丹丹/译

Now watch this autumn that arrives
看这个秋天在气味中
In smells. All looks like summer still;
到来。一切还像是夏天；
Colours are quite unchanged, the air
颜色完全没改变，空气
On green and white serenely thrives.
在绿色和白色上清澈地生长。
Heavy the trees with growth and full
树荫变得沉甸，田野
The fields. Flowers flourish everywhere.
丰满。花儿处处开放。
Proust who collected time within
普鲁斯特曾将时间采集在
A child‘s cake would understand
孩子的蛋糕里，他会理解
The ambiguity of this——
这一种暧昧——
Summer still raging while a thin
夏天仍气势汹汹，而一缕细烟
Column of smoke stirs from the land
正从大地上升起，
Proving that autumn gropes for us.
证明秋天正向我们摸寻。
But every season is a kind
但每个季节都是一种
Of rich nostalgia. We give names——
浓郁的怀旧。我们给它们命名——
Autumn and summer, winter, spring——
秋天和夏天，冬天，春天——
As though to unfasten from the mind
仿佛为了从精神上松开
Our moods and give them outward forms.
我们的情绪，并赋予它们外在的形式。
We want the certain, solid thing.
我们想要确定、牢固的东西。
But I am carried back against
但我被带回童年，这并非
My will to a childhood where
我愿，在那里
Autumn is bonfires, marbles, smoke;
秋天是篝火，弹子球，烟雾；
I lean against my window fenced
我靠在我的窗边，
From evocations in the air.
被空气中的回忆围困。
When I said autumn, autumn broke.
当我说着秋天，秋天碎了

Leaving Work to Watch the Sunset
夕阳无限好
作者：译名

I believe in leaving work at five o &`& clock.

我的信念是在五点结束每天的工作。

In a nation that operates on a staunch Protestant work ethic, this belief could be considered radical. Working only 40 hours a week? I just do not know many people who punch out at five o &`& clock anymore. It seems downright quaint, like pocket watches and shoe-shines.

这个奉行新教徒那套工作至上理念的国度,我的这一信念可算是激进。每周只工作40小时?我认识的人中很少是下午五点打卡下班的。那看起来就跟怀表、鞋油这类东西一样,简直是过时而怪异。

My father tried to teach me the importance of hard work, long hours and dedication to a career. But then there are the things he taught me unintentionally, like when he arrived home from work for the last time and crawled up the stairs.

我父亲尽力教导我勤奋工作、超时工作以及献身事业这几点的重要性。但后来,他也无意中教了我一些东西,比如那次当他最后一次下班回家爬上楼梯的时候。

My father, a self-employed sales trainer, was that sick, that tired. His body was wracked with liver cancer, and he suffered the effects of a diabetic ulcer. Still, he insisted on traveling to honor his commitment to give a seminar. He probably earned a lot of money that day, and he paid the price: He returned to the hospital soon after and was dead within three months, at age 58.

我父亲是一名自雇的销售培训师。那天,他已经病得很厉害,疲惫不堪。肝癌拖垮了他的身体,他还饱受糖尿病溃疡的折磨。然而,他为履行承诺仍坚持到外地主持一个研讨会。他那天可能赚了不少钱,但他也付出了代价——不久之后又住进了医院,而且三个月后就去世了,终年58岁。

It is been 10 years since I saw my father come home that night, and since then, I have thought a lot about work. I have decided something: I will never crawl up the stairs. As much as I love my job as a newspaper reporter, I will never work myself into the ground, literally or figuratively.

那晚看到父亲回家已是十年前的事了,自那以后,我对工作作了多番思考。我决定:我决不要爬着楼梯回家。作为一名报社记者,尽管我非常热爱我的工作,但我决不会因为拼命工作而把自己送进坟墓里,无论是字面义还是比喻义。

The idea of leaving work at work did not come easily to me. After all, I am my father &`& s daughter. In college, I was not going to keg parties in a frat basement; I was the girl who lingered on the library steps each morning, waiting for the doors to open. I even dreamed about schoolwork.

只在工作时间内工作的想法于我并非易事,毕竟,有其父必有其女。读大学时,我不去大学生联谊会在地下室里举办的啤酒狂欢派对,而是每天一早就在图书馆的阶梯上徘徊,等着图书馆开门。我甚至做梦都会梦到功课作业。

My dad once told me he was unable to just gaze at a sunset; he had to be doing something as he looked at it — writing, reading, playing chess. You could say he was a success: He was a published author, an accomplished musician, fluent in German and American Sign Language. That is an impressive list, but here is the thing: I want to gaze at sunsets. I do not want to meet a deadline during them or be writing a column at the same time, or glance at them over the top of a book.

我父亲曾经告诉我,他就是没法凝视夕阳。看着夕阳的同时他还得做些别的事——写作、阅读、下象棋。你可以称他是成功人士:他是一名发表过作品的作家,一位有造诣的音乐家,能说流利的德语,能熟练运用美国手语。这一连串成就看起来挺厉害的。但问题是:我想凝视夕阳。我不想边看夕阳边赶在最后期限前完成工作,也不想边看边给专栏赶稿,又或者是看着书,偶尔才朝那一抹夕阳瞥上一眼。

This raises the question: If I leave work at five o &`& clock to watch the sunset, what are the consequences? Do I risk not reaching the top of my profession? Maybe, because honestly, knocking off after eight hours probably won &`& t earn me the corner office or the lucrative promotion.

这引发了一个问题:如果我五点就下班去看夕阳,会有什么后果?我是否就无法爬到职场最高位?也许是,因为说实话,工作八小时就下班,想搬进角落的高层办公室或升职加薪是不太可能的。

But hey, leaving work at five o &`& clock means I eat dinner with my family. I get to hop on my bike and pedal through the streets of my hometown as the shadows lengthen and the traffic thins.

不过,嘿,五点就下班意味着我能和家人共进晚餐。我跳上单车,穿梭在家乡的大小街道上,一切在夕阳的余晖中被拉长了影子,路上车少人稀。

And I get to take in a lot of sunsets. That is got to be worth something.

从此,我看了不少夕阳美景。这肯定有其价值所在。
