Mr. Jones had a big tree in his garden ,and the children had tied a long rope to one of the branches ,so that they could swing on it . Mr. Jones saw the professor stop when he waw the rope and looked carefully up and down the road .When he saw that there was nobody in sight ,he stepped into the garden (there was no fence), put his umbrella ,newspaper ,bag and hat neatly on the grass and grasped the rope. He pulled it hard to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight ,then ran as fast as he could and swung into the air on the end of the rope ,his grey hair blowing all around his face .Backwards and forwards he swung ,sometimes taking a few more running steps on the grass when the rope began to swing too slowly for him . At last the professor stopped ,straightened his tie ,combed his hair carefully ,put on his hat ,picked up his umbrella,newspaper and bag ,and continued on his way to the university ,looking as quiet and correct and respectable as one would expect a professou to be .
琼斯先生的花园里有一棵大树，孩子们在一个树杈上栓了一根长绳子用来荡秋千，琼斯先生看到教授停下来，教授看到了绳子，他向路的两边望了望，看到没有人，他就走进花园【没有围栏】把他的伞，报纸，背包，帽子整齐的摆放在草地上，然后抓住绳子用力拉了拉看是否能承受他的体重，然后抓住绳头拼命跑使身体荡在空中，他的灰色头发飘荡在脸前，前后摆荡，当摆动慢下来时，他还助跑几步来增大摆动幅度，教授终于停了下来，仔细的整一整领带，理一理头发，带上帽子，拿起伞，报纸，和包，继续走向学校，看上去稳重，正直和受尊重，就像人们 . |
