The children stood with their mouths open, and no one said a word.

孩子们站着,嘴巴张着,谁也没说话。
Then Robert took one of the coins in his hand and looked at it. ' It's different from English money,'he said.
然后罗伯特将一块金币放在手里看着。"和英国钱不一样,"他说。
'Well, it doesn't matter. It's gold,' said Cyril. 'Don't for-get that it will all go when the sun goes down. Come on! Let's put as much as we can in our pockets and go and spend it. '
"唔,那没关系。是金的。"西里尔说,"别忘了太阳落下去的时候它们就都没了。快点儿!尽量往兜里装,然后去把它们花掉。"
So they all put gold coins in their pockets and went off to the village. But the gold was heavy, and soon they were very tired and hot. They decided to get something to drink in the village and then go on to the town of Rochester.
所以他们都往兜里装金币,然后朝村子走去。可金子很沉,一会儿他们就又累又热。他们决定在村里买点喝的,然后再继续赶往罗彻斯特城去。
Cyril went into the shop and the others waited outside. But when Cyril came back with a bottle of lemonade, he said,' I had to pay with my real money. When they saw all the coins,they wouldn't change the gold. '
西里尔走进商店,其他孩子在外边等着。可是当西里尔拿着一瓶柠檬汽水回来时,他说:"我得付我自己的真钱。他们看见所有这些金币时不肯找钱。"
'Well, I'll try to get something with the gold,' Anthea said. 'We need a horse and cart. Come on.'
"那我去试着用这金子买点东西。"安西娅说,"我们需要一辆马套二轮单马车。来吧。"
Anthea went to talk to a man who had a horse and cart, and the others waited. After a few minutes she came back, looking very pleased with herself. 'I wasn't stupid like Cyril,' she said. ' I only took out one coin, not all of them,and the man said he'll drive us to Rochester and wait for us. '
安西娅走过去和一个有马套二轮单马车的人谈起来,别的孩子等着。几分钟后她回来了,看起来很得意的样子。"我可不像西里尔那么傻。"她说,"我只拿出一块金币,而不拿出所有的金币,那个人说他把我们拉到罗彻斯特去并等着我们。"
On the way to Rochester, they did not speak. They were making plans about how to spend their gold, and they did not want to talk in front of the driver.
在去罗彻斯特的路上他们没有讲话。他们计划着怎样花他们的金子,而且他们不想在赶车人面前谈论。
But when they arrived in Rochester, with about twelve hun-dred gold coins in their pockets, they found that it was very difficult to spend them. Anthea tried to buy a very nice hat, but the woman in the shop looked very strangely,first at the gold coins, then at Anthea.
可是当他们兜里装着大约一千两百块金币到了罗彻斯特时,他们发现要花掉这些金币很困难。安西妮想买一顶很漂亮的帽子,可店里的那个女人很奇怪地先看看金币,再看看安西娅。
