English Original
It was a very hot day in the middle of summer, and there were no trees along the street.
Mr. Smith closed his shop at half past five, went out into the street, and walked to the bus. He was very fat. The sun shone straight down the street, and in a few minutes, Mr. Smith felt very hot.
A small boy came out of another shop in the street and went after Mr. Smith. He stayed very near him all the time and kicked Mr. Smith's shoes a few times. Mr. Smith looked at him angrily each time.
After the fourth time, Mr. Smith stopped, turned, and said to the small boy, "What are you doing here? Stop going after me like that! You're going to hurt my feet."
"I'm sorry, but don't stop me, please!" the small boy said. "It is very hot today, and there isn't any shade anywhere else in the street!"
中文翻译
这是盛夏里一个非常炎热的日子，街道两旁没有一棵树。
史密斯先生五点半关了店门，走到街上，向公共汽车站走去。他很胖。太阳火辣辣地直射在街道上，没过几分钟，史密斯先生就感到酷热难耐。
一个小男孩从街上的另一家商店里出来，跟在了史密斯先生后面。他一直紧跟着史密斯，还踢了好几次史密斯先生的鞋子。每次，史密斯先生都愤怒地瞪着他。
在第四次被踢之后，史密斯先生停下来，转过身对小男孩说：“你在这儿干什么？别这样跟着我！你会踢伤我的脚的。”
“对不起，但请别赶我走！”小男孩说道，“今天太热了，这条街上其他地方一点阴凉都没有！”
