THE BOAT UPSET
翻 船
"Sit still, children. Do not move about in the boat," said Mr. Rose to the young folks he was taking for a trip on the water.
“老实坐着，孩子们。不要在船里动来动去。” 罗斯先生对年轻人说。他正在水中划船。
The boat was a large one, and could not easily be upset.
船很大，很难被弄翻。
There were in it Mr. and Mrs. Rose, the boatman, and several little boys and girls.
船上坐着罗斯先生和罗斯太太、 船夫，还有一些小男孩和小女孩。
"Keep still, please, young gentlemen," said the boatman, when Edgar Rose and Thomas Read began to move from one side to the other.
“请老实点儿，年轻的先生们。”当埃德加?罗斯和托马斯? 瑞德开始从船的一头挪到另一头时，船夫说。
They kept quiet for a short time only. Edgar soon wanted a stick which Thomas held in his hand.
他们仅仅老实了一小会儿。不久， 埃德加想把托马斯手上的棍子拿过来。
He lost his balance in trying to get the stick, and fell into the water.
他试图拿到棍子的时候失去了平衡，掉进了水中。
Mr. and Mrs. Rose both started up, and stretched out their arms to save him; but in so doing, they upset the boat.
罗斯先生和罗斯太太惊得赶忙伸手去救他。 当他们这样做的时候，却把船弄翻了。
Every one fell into the water, and all were in the greatest danger of being drowned.

Another boat was near, with but one man in it. He hastened to them as quickly as possible, and saved them from drowning.
另一条船正在附近，里面只有一个人。他赶忙把船尽快靠近他们，将他们从水中救了上来。
Children should always be careful and quiet when they are in a boat on the water, and should obey what older people tell them.
当船在水中划行时，船上的孩子们应该始终保持小心和安静，并听从大人的话。
