【課文】
Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital. Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a‘guard of honour’of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move. Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused.‘Jumbo must weigh a few tons,’said a policeman afterwards,‘so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.’
去年圣誕節(jié),馬戲團(tuán)老板吉米·蓋茨決定給兒童醫(yī)院送些禮物。他打扮成圣誕老人,在由六名漂亮女孩組成的“儀仗隊(duì)”陪同下,騎著一只名叫“Jumbo”的小象,沿著城市的主街行駛。他本該知道警察絕不會(huì)允許這種事情發(fā)生。一名警察走近吉米,告訴他本應(yīng)走一條側(cè)街,因?yàn)镴umbo阻礙了交通。盡管吉米立刻表示同意,但Jumbo卻不肯挪動(dòng)。十五名警察不得不費(fèi)了好大勁才把它從主街上推走。警察們雖然吃了苦頭,但他們覺(jué)得十分有趣?!癑umbo肯定有幾噸重,”事后一名警察說(shuō)道,“所幸我們不用抬它。當(dāng)然,我們應(yīng)該逮捕它,但它以往表現(xiàn)良好,這次我們就放過(guò)它吧。”
