2009.12.28 周一 the Ugly Duckling
早晨带孩子出门,笑笑说她想做老师教我《老子》第35章。以前呢,笑笑学《三字经》、《大学》,都是我自己先背会然后再教笑笑。学《老子》时,主要以使用音频学习为主,但我与孩子是同步学习。也就是说,笑笑学到哪一章节,我也学到哪里,两人经常在路上一起背《老子》。不过,最近,孩子学《老子》,是利用幼儿园回家到我下班的那段时间来学习的,学习方式是听音频并配合书本。因此最近的几个章节我没陪孩子一起学,当然我也不会背。昨天下午练跆拳道的路上,笑笑就她读一句我跟一句地教会了我《老子》第35章。今天她突然搞抽查,就昨天那一点点时间,我哪记得住?那些绕口的句子,当时可能记住了,可过后又忘记了,笑笑只能重新教我。好在,我们还没到幼儿园门口呢,我就能把整个一章给背一遍了——虽然是结结巴巴地背。末了,笑笑总结性发言“妈妈,我觉得你挺聪明的。这么难的《老子》,我自己都听了好多好多遍才学会的。虽然(这一章节)不是很长,但你能这样已经很不容易了!”“我们家笑笑这么好学,如果我不认真学习,不就落后了吗?”“好吧,那你今天上班就好好学习第31章,晚上回家我要检查的呀!”啊?还给我布置任务了呀。31章有好长的一大段呢。没办法,我趁中午午休的时间赶紧认真学习(最近单位的事太忙,我也只有中午有些自由时间),以便接受笑笑的检查。检查的结果——顺利通过!耶!
笑笑喜欢上了《the Ugly Duckling》,这真是一则好听的故事呢。整篇故事篇幅虽然长,但词汇量不多,而且笑笑只有一个生词,所以生词很快就变成了“熟词”。
Mummy duck has got one... two... three... four... five... six...seven eggs!
Six little white eggs and.. a big grey egg!
Crack! One little yellow duckling!
Crack! Crack! Two, three little yellow ducklings!
Crack! Crack! Crack! Four, five, six little yellow ducklings!
'One, two, three, four, five, six little yellow ducklings.' says Mummy duck.
'But one egg is different. It’s big! It’s grey!'
CRACK!
'Mummy! He’s big!' says a little duckling.
'Mummy! He’s grey!' says another little duckling.
'Mummy! He’s ugly!' says another little duckling.
'Yes, he’s different,' says Mummy duck, 'but he’s your brother!'
Mummy duck and the seven little ducklings are at the pond.
SPLASH! SPLASH! SPLASH! One, two, three little ducklings go into the water.
'QUACK! QUACK! QUACK! The water’s lovely!' says the ducklings.
SPLASH! The big grey duckling goes into the water!
'QUACK! The water's lovely,' says the big grey duckling.
It's summer.
Mummy duck and the ducklings go to the farm.
'Hello,' says Mummy duck. 'Here are my seven little ducklings.'
'No, NOT seven little ducklings!' says the old chichen. 'Six little yellow ducklings ... and one big, grey, ugly duckling!'
'You’re a big duckling!' says the cow.
'You’re a grey duckling!' says the dog.
'You’re an ugly duckling!' says the horse.
'You’re a big, grey, ugly duckling!' says the cat.
'Ha! Ha! Ha! Look at the Ugly Duckling!' says a rabbit.
'Ugly Duckling, go away!' say the animals, 'Ugly Duckling, go away!'
The Ugly Duckling is sad.
The Ugly Duckling goes away from the farm.
'Hello,' says the frogs. 'Who are you?'
'Hello frogs,' says the Ugly Duckling. 'I’m the Ugly Duckling.'
'Oh! You’re big… and grey... and ugly!' say the frogs.
'Ugly Duckling, go away!' say the frogs, 'Ugly Duckling, go away!'
It’s autumn.
The Ugly Duckling is sad and tired.
He goes into a house.
'Hello, old lady,' he says, 'Hello, dog. Hello, cat.'
'Who are you?' says the old lady.
'I’m the Ugly Duckling,' says the Ugly Duckling.
'Oh! You’re big!' says the old lady.
'Oh! You’re grey!' says the dog.
'Oh! You’re ugly!' says the cat.
'Ugly Duckling, go away! Ugly Duckling, go away!'
It’s winter.
The Ugly Duckling is cold and tired.
He goes into a farmhouse.
'He’s ugly!' say the children.
'Yes, he’s ugly. But he’s cold and tired,' says the farmer.
'Let’s give him some milk.'
'Let’s play with the Ugly Duckling,' say the children.
'No! Let me go!' says the Ugly Duckling.
SPLASH! He goes into the milk!
The Ugly Duckling goes away.
He is very sad.
He goes to a river.
He hides.
He hides all winter.
It’s spring.
'What a beautiful swan!' says a swan.
'A beautiful swan? ...Where?' says the Ugly Duckling.
'You’re the beautiful swan!' says another swan.
'No, I’m not a swan! I’m an ugly duckling!' says the Ugly Duckling.
'No, you’re not an ugly duckling! You’re a swan! A beautiful swan!' say the swans. 'Look in the water!'
'Oh, yes! I’m a swan!' says the Ugly Duckling, 'I’m a beautiful white swan!'
The Ugly Duckling isn’t sad.
He’s happy!
He isn’t different.
He isn’t grey.
And he isn’t an ugly duckling!
He’s a beautiful white swan! |
