第12課

SUSIE SUNBEAM

陽光女孩

Susie Sunbeam was not her real name; that was Susan Brown.

陽光女孩并不是她的真名，她的真名叫蘇珊?布朗。

But every one called her Susie Sunbeam, because she had such a sweet, smiling face, and always brought brightness with her when she came.

然而，每個人都叫她陽光女孩，她長著一張甜美的笑臉。每當她到來，臉上總是掛著燦爛的微笑。

Her grandfather first gave her this name, and it seemed to fit the little girl so nicely that soon it took the place of her own.

她的爺爺最先給她起了這個名字，它看起來非常適合這個漂亮的小女孩。很快，充滿陽光的性格真的發生在她身上。

Even when a baby, Susie laughed and crowed from morning till night.

即使當她還是個嬰兒的時候，陽光女孩就開始從早到晚地歡笑。

No one ever heard her cry unless she was sick or hurt.

除了生病和受傷之外，沒人聽過她的哭聲。

When she had learned to walk, she loved to go about the house and get things for her mother, and in this way save her as many steps as she could.

當她學會走路以后，她喜歡在屋子里幫媽媽拿東西。通過這種方式，她盡己所能幫媽媽省力。

She would sit by her mother's side for an hour at a time, and ask her ever so many questions, or she would take her new book and read.

她會坐在媽媽身邊，花一個小時問她很多問題，或捧著她的新書去讀。
