Mr. Bump 莽撞先生 P1： This is the sad story of Mr Bump. The trouble was that Mr Bump just could not help having little accidents. If there was something for Mr Bump to bump into, he’d bump into in all right. For instance. If you were to see Mr Bump out walking down a street in your town, and if there happened to be something to bump into down that street, then you know what would happen, don’t you? 这是一个关于莽撞先生倒霉的故事。 他的麻烦就在于总是不经意间地制造一些小意外。 如果有什么可以撞的东西，他一定会立刻撞上去。 比如说， 如果在你住的地方，看见莽撞先生在街上散步，恰巧呢，在他前方有可以撞的东西，那么你知道将要发生什么了，对吧？ P2： BUMP! “砰！” P3： Mr Bump was just the same at home.

CRASH!went the kitchen window behind him. “Oh dear,” thought Mr Bump again, and he rested the ladder against the wall of house so that he could climb up on to the roof to mend the chimney pot. CRASH! went the bedroom window! 莽撞先生扛着梯子，沿着花园的小路往回走。在拐弯处，他一转身， “啪！哗啦啦！” 梯子砸碎了客厅窗户的玻璃。 “呀！什么声音？！” 莽撞先生心想，于是转过身，看看是怎么回事。 “啪！哗啦啦！”又一声响，厨房窗户的玻璃也被砸碎了！ “哦，糟糕！” 他心想。于是，把梯子倚在墙边，爬上屋顶去修烟囱。 “啪！哗啦啦！”卧室窗户的玻璃也碎了！ P6： So you can see how Mr Bump had his little accidents! Mr Bump had had many jobs，but somehow they never seemed to last very long. As soon as anything got lost or broken or splintered or chipped or shapped or cracked or torn or burst or wrenched or crunched or split or slit, Mr Bump got the b
