这个故事写成好几年了,我以前也贴过,但我一直在修改,我精益求精,我铁杵磨针,嘿嘿。
Rhyming story 很不好写,累死了我不少的脑细胞!
我比较得意的是这个新版本加了几个新的Verse段,说的更清楚些,比如:咪咪不会说话。从她的眼中我读懂她的表达。它们是那么的天真无邪,从来不会说谎做假。我又加了Mei Ling 心里想的、可爱的小心思:也许咪咪的爪子有些痒,所以她抓挠我的椅子。对于我来说,坐抓破的椅子没关系、没问题。但是对于爸爸妈妈来说有问题。家长们都十分在意东西。我必须想出一个好注意,让咪咪的行为彬彬有礼!
During thevery first day,
I didn’t see my new cat.
Was she hungry or thirsty?
I was worried about that.
During the second day,
Did Mimi eat alright?
She didn’t eat a bit
But she drank water atnight.
When the third day was dark,
She cautiously came out.
She ate a bit of cat food
And quietly walkedabout.
When the fourth day was bright,
She began to explore.
I happily followed her,
Opening each room’s door.
I opened each closet wide,
Even each drawer for her.
Mimi sniffed everywhere and
Finally let me stroke her fur.
The black part was like dark ink.
The white part was like pure milk.
It felt smooth under my palm.
Her fur was like the best silk!
“Mimi, in the whole world,
You’re the most beautiful cat!”
Her tail moved up and down.
She totally agreed with that.
“Lunch time, Lunch time,”
Mom opened the kitchen door.
I stopped doing cat massage.
Mimi rose from the floor.
Mom, Dad and I wereeating lunch.
We were all in a good mood.
Mimi jumped up on my lap.
She wanted to eat my food.
Kittens can’t eat people’s food.
I learned that from a book.
Some seasonings that can harm them
Are in what weoften cook.
I went to Mimi’s plate and
Took some cat food, with a smile.
I pretended to eat it.
She stared at me for a while.
“Mimi, your food is yummy.
I eat the same thing as you.”
Looking at medoubtfully,
She wondered if it was true.
Mimi went to her plate.
Slowly, she paused for thought.
Then, chewing and gulping,
She ate her food, a lot.
My mom was very happy
And gave Mimi a cat treat.
She swiftly ate it and then
Lay down beside my feet.
She began to lick her paw
And carefully wipe her face.
What a clean little kitten!
Mimi has natural grace!
A few minutes later,
Mimi did something bad.
She started to scratch my chair.
Mom was a little bit mad.
“Stop, Mimi. You’re so naughty,”
Mom’s voice quivered in the air.
Mimi suddenly stopped and
Lifted her claws from my chair.
Slowly and unhappily,
Her big furry tail shook.
She wore a confused look.
I was just sharpening mynails.
Why was Mom so upset?
How do I use nailclippers?
Mei Ling hasn’t taughtme yet.
Mimi couldn’t say anything.
I read it from her eyes.
They’re so pure and innocent,
And never ever tell lies.
Maybe, Mimi’s nails were itchy,
So she had to scratch the chair.
For me, sitting on a scratched chairs
Is okay, I don’t really care.
But Mom and Dad seemed to care.
Parents always care about stuff.
I must come upwith an idea
To make Mimi’s behavior good enough!
My eyes suddenly lit up.
I was excited, a bit.
We just bought a doormat
With the word “Welcome” on it.
I carefully put Mimi
On the brand new welcome mat.
Today, I was important —
The smart teacher of my cat.
Pointing to each letter,
I said and took her paw,
“W, E, L, C, O, M, E, welcome.”
My student, Mimi learned with awe.
Then, I taught herto scratch the mat
After she knew“Welcome”, I thought.
She scratched the mat! She learned it!
What a smart little cat I got!
Mimi scratched very hard.
I cheerfully said to her,
“You are welcome, Mimi.”
She purred a happy purr.
2今天,我十分重要!
第一天,我的小猫在哪,
我根本不知道。
她渴不渴,饿不饿?
我有些心焦。
第二天咪咪吃饭好不好?
我为她把心操。
她夜里喝了一些水,
她的饭一点没见少。
当第三天夜幕降临,
她小心翼翼地出来了。
她吃了一些食物,
悄悄地四处走走瞧瞧。
第四天的一大早,
她开始对新家进行探索察看。
我高兴地跟在她的后面,
打开每一个房间。
我打开每一个壁柜,
甚至每一个抽屉为我的小猫。
咪咪闻闻这嗅嗅那,
终于让我抚弄她的毛毛。
它白的部分象奶一样纯洁,
它黑的部分似墨一样黑暗。
我的手掌摸起来,
她的皮毛象丝绸一样滑软!
“咪咪,在这个世界上,
你是最美丽的小猫。”
她的尾巴上下摇摇。
她完全同意我的论调。
“吃午饭了,吃午饭了,”
妈妈打开厨房门。
我停止猫按摩。
咪咪从地板上起身。
爸爸、妈妈和我在吃午饭。
我们的心情十分愉快。
咪咪跳到我的腿上。
她想吃我盘中的饭菜。
猫猫们不能吃人的饭,
从一本书中,我曾读到。
我们饭中的一些调味品
对它们的身体不好。
我走去咪咪的盘边,
笑着取来了一些猫粮。
我假装吃它们。
她不住地盯着我打量。
“咪咪,你的饭很香。
我吃的和你的一样。”
她疑惑地看著我,
好象在琢磨是否我在说慌。
咪咪走向她的盘子。
她慢慢地停下来思索。
然后,她大口吃她的猫粮,
她吃了很多很多。
我的妈妈很高兴,
给咪咪一把小猫零嘴。
她快速地吃罢,
然后躺下,靠着我的腿。
她开始舔她的小爪,
在脸上擦了又擦。
讲卫生爱干净的小猫!
咪咪天生斯文高雅!
过了一会儿,
咪咪把坏事来搞。
她开始抓我的椅子。
妈妈有些气恼。
“停下,咪咪。你太淘气啦,”
妈妈的声音在空气中颤抖。
咪咪突然停下来,
小爪从我的椅子上移走。
害羞地、无辜地,
她毛绒绒的大尾巴摇摇。
我做错了什么吗?
她有些莫名其妙。
我只是磨了磨指甲。
妈妈为何如此气恼?
如何使用指甲刀,
美灵还没教。
咪咪不会说话。
从她的眼中我读懂她的表达。
它们是那么的天真无邪,
从来不会说谎做假。
也许咪咪的爪子有些痒,
所以她抓挠我的椅子。
对于我来说,
坐抓破的椅子没关系、没问题。
但是对于爸爸妈妈来说有问题。
家长们都十分在意东西。
我必须想出一个好注意,
让咪咪的行为彬彬有礼!
我的眼睛突然一亮。
我有些激动不已。
新买的擦鞋脚垫,
上面印有“欢迎”二字。
我小心地把咪咪
在崭新的欢迎脚垫上放好。
我是聪明的猫老师,
今天,我十分重要。
我拿起她的小爪子,
指着每一个字母,
“W, E, L, C, O, M, E, welcome,欢迎。”
我的学生,咪咪的神情认真专注。
她已经认识了欢迎一词。
然后,我教她在脚垫上抓挠。
她抓了!她学会了!
我有一只多么聪明的小猫!
咪咪使劲地抓呀抓。
我欢快地对她说道,
“欢迎你,咪咪。”
她快乐地咕噜咕噜叫。
