17、A Seaside Picnic 海滩野餐
One morning last April, Joan was lying in bed when the telephone rang. It was her friend, Dave, who invited her out for a picnic at the seaside.
去年四月的一天早上，当琼还躺在床上时，电话铃响了。电话是她的朋友戴夫打来的，她想邀请琼去海滩野餐。
Later that day she left her flat and walked to the bus stop to catch the bus. Joan was wearing a T-shirt and skirt as it was quite hot. As she sat on the bus she looked out of the window. The sun was shining. She saw a plane going over a forest and some horses in the fields. Before long she arrived at the seaside and met Dave.
那天晚些时候，琼离开了公寓，去公共汽车站乘车。因为天气很热，琼穿着T恤衫和裙子。当她坐在车上时，她看着窗外。阳光明媚。她看到一架飞机飞过一片森林，看到田野里的马。一会功夫，她就到了海边，碰到了戴夫。
They went down to the beach and had their picnic next to a rock. They had sandwiches and crisps, and Dave painted a picture.
他们走下海滩，在一块岩石边野餐。他们一起吃三明治和马铃薯片，戴夫还画了一幅画。
They had a lovely day.
他们度过了开心的一天。
