以下是為大家整理的關(guān)于《英文故事推薦：偷馬的賊》，供大家學(xué)習(xí)參考！
George Washington was a well-known farmer and soldier before he became the first president of the United States. Here is 1one of the many stories people told about him.喬治華盛頓在成為美國第xx屆總統(tǒng)之前是一個非常有名的農(nóng)民和士兵。這里有一個人們講述有關(guān)于他的故事。 Once a neighbor stole one of Washington's horses. Washington went with a police officer to the neighbor's farm to get the horse, but the neighbor refused to give the horse up; he claimed that it was his horse. 有一次鄰居偷了華盛頓家的馬，華盛頓就帶著一位警察到鄰居家去找馬，但是鄰居不想把馬還回來，說那是他家的馬。Washington placed both of his hands over the eyes of the horse and said to the neighbor, "If this is your horse, then you must tell us in which eye he is blind. "
華盛頓把雙手捂在馬的眼睛上對鄰居說：“如果是你的馬，那你必須說出馬的哪只眼睛是瞎的?！?"In the right eye!" the neighbor said. “右眼！”鄰居說。 Washington took his hand from the right eye of the horse and showed the police officer that the horse was not blind in the right eye. 華盛頓把雙手從馬的右眼上拿開給警察看，馬的右眼并沒有瞎。 "Oh, I have 2made a mistake," said the neighbor. "He is blind in the left eye. "“噢，我弄錯了，”鄰居說：“是他的左眼瞎了?！?BR> Washington then showed that the horse was not blind in the left eye, either3. 華盛頓又讓大家看到馬的左眼也沒瞎。 "I have made another mistake," said the neighbor. “我又弄錯了?！编従诱f。 "Yes, "said the police officer, "and you have also shown us that you are a thief. This horse does not belong to you. You must return it to Mr. Washington." “不，”警察說：“這再次證明你是個賊，這馬不是你的。你必須把馬還給華盛頓先生?！?點睛：再巧妙的謊言終究會被事實揭穿的。 注釋： 1.one of……之一，后面要跟名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式 例：lily is one of my three children. 莉莉是我的三個孩子之一。2. make a mistake 犯錯誤，是一個常用的固定短語
