少兒英語(yǔ)童話故事：The Old Grandfather and His Grandson 祖父和孫子

從前有個(gè)很老很老的老人，眼睛花，耳朵也背，雙膝還不住地發(fā)抖。每當(dāng)他坐在餐桌前吃飯時(shí)，湯匙也握不穩(wěn)，常常把菜湯撒在桌布上，湯還會(huì)從嘴邊流出來(lái)。兒子和媳婦都嫌棄他，老人只好躲到灶后的角落里吃飯。他們給他一只瓦盆，把飯菜盛到里面給他吃，而且每頓飯都不給老人吃飽。老人很傷心，常常眼淚汪汪地看著桌子。

Once upon a time there was a very， very old man. His eyes had grown dim， his ears deaf， and his knees shook. When he sat at the table， he could scarcely hold a spoon. He spilled soup on the tablecloth， and， beside that， some of his soup would run back out of his mouth.

有一天，老人的手顫抖得連那只瓦盆都端不穩(wěn)了，瓦盆掉到地上打碎了。兒媳婦沒(méi)完沒(méi)了地訓(xùn)斥他，老人一聲不吭，只是不住地歎氣。他們於是花了幾分錢(qián)買(mǎi)來(lái)一只木碗給老人吃飯用。

His son and his son‘s wife were disgusted with this， so finally they made the old grandfather sit in the corner behind the stove， where they gave him his food in an earthenware bowl， and not enough at that. He sat there looking sadly at the table， and his eyes grew moist. One day his shaking hands could not hold the bowl， and it fell to the ground and broke. The young woman scolded， but he said not a word. He only sobbed. Then for a few hellers they bought him a wooden bowl and made him eat from it.

后來(lái)有一天，老人的兒子和媳婦正坐在那兒吃飯，四歲的小孫子在把地上的碎木片拾掇到一起。

Once when they were all sitting there， the little grandson of four years pushed some pieces of wood together on the floor.

"你這是干甚么呢？"父親問(wèn)。

"What are you making？" asked his father.

"我要做一只木碗，等我長(zhǎng)大了，讓爸爸媽媽用它吃飯。"

"Oh， I‘m making a little trough for you and mother to eat from when I’m big."

聽(tīng)到這話，兒子和媳婦對(duì)視了一會(huì)兒，最后哭了起來(lái)。他們立刻將老人請(qǐng)到桌邊，讓他從此和他們一起吃飯，即使老人潑了點(diǎn)甚么，他們也不再說(shuō)什么了。

The man and the woman looked at one another and then began to cry. They immediately brought the old grandfather to the table， and always let him eat there from then on. And if he spilled a little， they did not say a thing.
