The Prize | 奖品

English Original

Little Albert came home from school with a new book under his arm. "It's a prize, mother," he explained.

"A prize? What for, dear?"

"For natural history. Teacher asked me how many legs an ostrich has, and I said three."

"But an ostrich has only two legs."

"I know it now. But all the pupils said four, so I was the closest."


中文翻译

小阿尔伯特腋下夹着一本新书从学校回家来了。"这是奖品,妈妈。"他解释道。

"奖品?因为什么得的,亲爱的?"

"因为自然课得的。老师问我鸵鸟有几条腿,我说有三条。"

"但是鸵鸟是两条腿啊。"

"我现在知道了。但其他学生都说有四条,所以还是我最接近正确答案。"
