The kettle and its friend! 壶和他的朋友! I am a kettle. You have often seen me at work boiling waterfor your breakfast, dinner, or tea. Do you know what I am made of ? I will tell you. I am made of iron; because iron will bear a great heat. 我是一个水壶。你经常在工作中看到我在为你的早餐、晚餐或茶煮开水。你知道我是用什么做的吗?让我来告诉你。我是铁做的,因为铁能承受高温。 Here is my friend the coffee-pot. Do you know what he is made of? 'No.' Then I will tell you. My friend the coffee-pot is made of tin. He sometimes sits beside me on the hob. I often pour water into him hot enough to scald him, if he could only feel it. 这是我的朋友咖啡壶。你知道他是做什么的吗?“不知道。”我来告诉你。我的朋友咖啡壶是用锡制成的。他有时坐在我旁边的搁架上。我常常给他倒足够热的热水来烫他,因为他只能感受到这个温度。 Now you shall see a family of my friends. Without them I should not be so useful as I am. 现在你将看到我朋友的家人。没有它们,我就不会像现在这样有用。 Here they are. In the middle you see the teapot, and all around her the cupsand saucers, just like a hen and her chickens. The coffee-pot and the tea-pot are my two greatest friends. 他们在这里。中间是茶壶,在她旁边的是茶杯和茶托,就像母鸡和小鸡一样。咖啡壶和茶壶是我两个最好的朋友。 I have not so much to do with the cups andsaucers as my two friend shave. But I often see them, and I know of what they are made. 我并不想我的两个朋友那样,跟杯子和碟子关系密切。但我经常看到它们,我知道它们是什么做的。 Cups and saucers are made of clay, and are baked in an oven to make them hard. 杯子和碟子是用粘土做的,然后放在烤炉里烘烤让它们变硬。 I must bid you good afternoon, as I am wanted to boil water for tea. 我必须跟你说下午好了,因为我想去给茶煮开水了。 单词精选:kettle 英[ˈketl] 美[ˈketl] 壶 水壶 at work 英[æt wɜːk] 美[æt wɜːrk] 干活儿 做工作 be made of 英[bi meɪd ɒv] 美[bi meɪd əv] …制的 用什么做的 bear 英[beə(r)] 美[ber] 承受 忍受 heat 英[hiːt] 美[hiːt] 热 温度 iron 英[ˈaɪən] 美[ˈaɪərn] 铁 熨斗 coffee-pot 英[ˈkɒfi pɒt] 美[ˈkɔːfi pɑːt] 咖啡壶 sit 英[sɪt] 美[sɪt] 坐 hob 英[hɒb] 美[hɑːb] 炉盘 厨房烤炉搁架 enough英[ɪˈnʌf] 美[ɪˈnʌf] 足够的 充足的 scald 英[skɔːld] 美[skɔːld] 烫伤 family 英[ˈfæməli] 美[ˈfæməli] 家 家庭 useful 英[ˈjuːsfl] 美[ˈjuːsfl] 有用的 有益的 middle英[ˈmɪdl] 美[ˈmɪdl] 中间 中部 cup 英[kʌp] 美[kʌp] 杯子 teapot 英[ˈtiːpɒt] 美[ˈtiːpɑːt] 茶壶 saucer 英[ˈsɔːsə(r)] 美[ˈsɔːsər] 茶碟 茶托 hen 英[hen] 美[hen] 母鸡 clay 英[kleɪ] 美[kleɪ] 黏土 陶土 bake 英[beɪk] 美[beɪk] 烘烤 oven 英[ˈʌvn] 美[ˈʌvn] 烤箱 烤炉 hard 英[hɑːd] 美[hɑːrd] 坚固的 坚硬的 bid 英[bɪd] 美[bɪd] 向(某人)问候、道别等 boil water 煮开水 |
