The Little Hero's True Colors | 小英雄的真面目

English Original

Two boys were playing hockey on a pond in Boston Common when a vicious Rottweiler attacked one of them. Thinking quickly, the other boy used his hockey stick, wedged it into the dog's collar, and twisted, breaking the dog's neck and stopping the attack.

A reporter who witnessed the incident rushed over to interview the boy.

"Young Bruins Fan Saves Friend from Vicious Animal..." he began writing in his notebook.

"But I'm not a Bruins fan," the little hero replied.

"Sorry, since we're in Boston, I just assumed you were," said the reporter and started again. "Red Sox Fan Rescues Friend from Horrific Attack..."

"I'm not a Red Sox fan either!" the boy said.

"I assumed everyone in Boston was for the Bruins or the Red Sox. What team do you root for?" the reporter asked.

"I'm a Yankees fan!" the child beamed.

The reporter started a new sheet in his notebook and wrote: "Little Bastard from New York Kills Beloved Family Pet."


中文翻译

两个男孩在波士顿公园的池塘上打冰球时,一只凶猛的罗威纳犬袭击了其中一人。另一个男孩反应迅速,他用自己的冰球杆卡进狗的项圈并用力一扭,幸运地扭断了狗的脖子,制止了攻击。

一位目睹了事件的记者冲过去采访这个男孩。

"年轻棕熊队球迷从恶犬口中救下朋友……"他开始在笔记本上写道。

"但我不是棕熊队的球迷,"小英雄回答。

"抱歉,既然我们在波士顿,我以为你是,"记者说着重新开始写。"红袜队球迷从恐怖袭击中救出朋友……"

"我也不是红袜队的球迷!"男孩说。

"我以为波士顿所有人都支持棕熊队或红袜队。那你支持哪支球队?"记者问道。

"我是洋基队的球迷!"孩子高兴地说。

记者在笔记本上翻开新的一页写道:"纽约来的小混蛋杀死了心爱的家庭宠物。"
