PAGE / NUMPAGES A?Selfish?Giant自私的巨人 A Selfish Giant自私的巨人 Every afternoon, as the children were coming back from school, they used to go and play in the giants garden.天天下午，孩子们放学回来之后，总爱到巨人的花园里去游玩。 It was a beautiful large garden. Beautiful flowers grew in the grass. There were twelve fruit trees. In the spring the fruit trees were covered with red and white flowers, and later in the year they bore rich fruit. The birds sang in the trees so sweetly that sometimes the children stopped their games and listened to them. How happy we are here! they cried to each other.One day the giant came back. He had been away for seven years. When he arrived, he saw the children playing in his garden. What are you doing here? he cried in a very loud voice. The children ran away.这是一个漂亮的大花园。草丛中盛开着漂亮的花朵。另外园里还有12株果树。春天来临时，树上开满红色和白色的花朵；秋天到来时，树上果实累累。鸟儿在树上歌唱，唱得那么动听，孩子们有时会停止游戏，来倾听鸟儿唱歌。他们彼此欢叫着：“我们在这儿多快乐呀！”巨人离家已经七年了。一天他回来了。他一进家，就看到孩子们在花园里玩，他大吼道：“你们在这儿干什么？”孩子们一听就吓跑了。 My own garden is my own garden, said the giant. I will allow no one to play in it but myself. So he built a high wall round it and put up a notice: Keep out. He was a very selfish giant.So the children had nowhere to play. They tried to play on the road, but the road was dusty and full of hard stone, and they did not like it. They wandered round the high walls when their lessons were finished and talked about the beautiful garden inside. How happy we were there! they said to each other.“我自己的花园就应归我自己，”巨人说，“除了我自己，我不许任何人在里面游玩。”于是他在花园四面筑了一道高高的围墙，还贴了一张告示：“禁止入内。”他是一个非常自私的巨人。孩子们因此没有玩的地方了。他们只好在马路上玩，可路上尘土飞扬而且到处是坚硬的石头，他们不喜欢。他们放学后就在高墙外转来转去，谈论着墙内漂亮的花园。他们相互说着：“以前我们在这儿多快乐呀！” The spring came, and there were flowers and little birds all over the country. But in the garden of the Selfish Giant it was till winter the birds did not like to sing in it because there were no children, and the trees forgot to bear flowers. Snow covered up the grass, and ice covered all the trees with silver. The north wind came, and driving rain.
