Mrs Jones did not have a husband, but she had two sons. They were big, strong boys, but they were lazy. On Saturdays they did not go to school, and then their mother always said, “Please cut the grass in the garden this afternoon, boys.” The boys did not like it, but they always did it.
琼斯夫人没有丈夫，但是她有两个儿子。他们是高大又强壮的男孩，但是他们很懒惰。他们星期六不上学，于是他们的妈妈经常说：“孩子，今天下午请在花园里割草。”两个男孩不喜欢，但是他们总是干。
Then somebody gave one of the boys a magazine, and they saw a picture of a beautiful lawn-mower in it. There was a seat on it, and there was a woman on the seat.
后来有人给其中的一个男孩一本杂志，他们看见上面有一幅漂亮的割草机的图画。上面有个座位，座位上有个女人。
The boy took the picture to his mother and brother and said to them, “Look, that woman’s sitting on the lawn-mower and driving it and cutting the grass. We want one of those.”
男孩把图画拿给她的妈妈和哥哥，对他们说：“看，那个女人正坐在割草机上开着割草呢。我们想要一个。”
“One of those lawn-mowers?” his mother asked.
“那些割草机的其中一个吗？”他的妈妈喊道。
“No,” the boy said. “We want one of those women. Then she can cut grass every week.”
“不是，”男孩说。“我们想要其中一个女人。这样她就可以每周都割草了。”
