This is George. He lived in Africa.
He was a good little monkey and always very curious.
这是乔治，他住在非洲。
他是一只善良的小猴子，总是很好奇。
☟
One day George saw a man.
He had on a large yellow straw hat.
The man saw George, too.
一天，乔治看见一个人。
他戴着一顶黄色的大草帽，那个人也看见了乔治。
"What a nice little monkey," he thought,
"I would like to take him home with me."
The man put his hat on the ground,
and of course George was curious.
He came down from the tree to
look at the large yellow hat.
“多么可爱的小猴子啊，”他想，“我想带它回家。”
那人把帽子放在地上，乔治当然很好奇。
他从树上下来，看那顶大黄帽子。
☟
The hat had been on the man’s head.
George thought it would be nice
to have it on his own head.
He picked it up and put it on.
帽子一直戴在那人的头上。
乔治认为把它戴在自己头上会很好。
他把它捡起来戴上。
☟
The hat covered George’s head. He couldn’t see.
The man picked him up quickly and
popped him into a bag. George was caught.
帽子遮住了乔治的头，他看不见。
那人很快把他抱起来，把他塞进一个袋子里。
乔治被抓住了。
☟
The man with the big yellow hat
put George into a little boat,
and a sailor rowed them both
across the water to a big ship.
George was sad, but he was still a little curious.
那个戴着黄色大帽子的人把乔治放到一只小船上，
一个水手把他们两人都划过了水面，上了一艘大船。
乔治很伤心，但他还是有点好奇。
☟
On the big ship, things began to happen.
The man took off the bag.
George sat on a little stool and the man said,
"George, I am going to take you to a big Zoo in a big city.
You will like it there.
Now run along and play,but don’t get into trouble."
George promised to be good.
But it is easy for little monkeys to forget.
在这艘大船上，事情开始发生了。那人脱下包。
乔治坐在一张小凳子上，那人说：
“乔治，我要带你去一个大城市的动物园。
你会喜欢那里的。
现在快去玩吧，但别惹麻烦。”
乔治答应做个好孩子，但是小猴子很容易忘记。
☟
On the deck he found some sea gulls.
He wondered how they could fly.
He was very curious.
在甲板上他发现了一些海鸥。
他想知道它们怎么会飞，他很好奇。
Finally he HAD to try. It looked easy. But——
最后他不得不试一试，它看起来很容易。但是——
☟
oh, what happened!
First this –and then this!
哦，发生了什么事！
先是这个，然后是这个!
☟
"WHERE IS GEORGE?"The sailors looked and looked.
At last they saw him struggling in the water,
and almost all tired out.
“乔治在哪儿?”水手们看了又看。
最后他们看见他在水里挣扎，几乎都累坏了。
☟
"Man overboard!" the sailors cried
as they threw him a lifebelt.
George caught it and held on.
At last he was safe on board.
“有人落水了！”水手们一边向他扔救生圈一边大叫。
乔治抓住不放。最后他在船上安全了
☟
After that,
George was more careful to be a good monkey,
until at last the long trip was over.
从那以后，乔治更加小心地做一只好猴子，
直到长途旅行终于结束。
George said good-by to the kind sailors,
and he and the man with the yellow hat
walked off the ship on to the shore
and on into the city to the man’s house.
乔治向善良的水手们告别了。
他和那个戴着黄色帽子的人走下了船，
走到岸上，进了城里，来到了那个人的家里。

After a good meal and a good pipe,
George felt very tried.
美美的饱餐一顿并抽了根烟之后，
乔治感觉非常疲惫。
☟
He crawled into bed and fell asleep at once.
他爬上床马上就睡着了。
☟
The next morning the man telephoned the Zoo.
George watched him. He was fascinated.
Then the man went away. George was curious.
第二天早晨男人给动物园打了电话。
乔治看着他，他深深的被吸引了。
然后男人走开了，乔治感觉很好奇。
He wanted to telephone, too.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. What fun!
他也想打电话。1234567，多有趣啊！

DING-A-LING-A-LING!
GEORGE HAD TELEPHONED THE FIRE STATION!
The firemen rushed to the telephone.
"Hello! Hello!" they said. But there was no answer.
叮铃铃！乔治电话打到了消防站！
消防员冲到电话前。
”喂！喂！“他们说。但是没有人回应。
Then they looked for the signal on the big map
that showed where the telephone call had come from.
They didn’t know it was GEORGE.
They thought it was a real fire.
他们查看了大地图上，
上面的信号显示了电话是从哪打来的。

The firemen jumped on to the fire engines
and on to the hook-and-ladders.
快！快！快！消防员们跳上了救火车和云梯。

Everyone out of the way! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
叮咚叮咚。所有人让道！快！快！快！

The firemen rushed into the house.
They opened the door.

"Oh, catch him, catch him," they cried.
He almost did,
but he got caught in the telephone wire, and—
消防员冲进了房子，打开了门。
没有着火！只有一直淘气的小猴子。
”抓住他，抓住他。“他们喊道。
乔治想逃跑。
他差点就成功了，但是被电话线绊住了，然后...
☟
a thin fireman caught one arm
and a fat fireman caught the other.
一个瘦瘦的消防员抓住了他一只胳膊，
一个胖乎乎的消防员各抓住了他另一只胳膊。
"You fooled the Fire Department," they said.
"We will have to shut you up
where you can’t do any more harm."
They took him away and shut him up in a prison.
”你戏弄了消防部门，“他们说，
”我们要把你关在一个你不能害人的地方。“
他们把他带走了关进了监狱。

George wanted to get out.
He climbed up to the window to try the bars.
Just then the watchman came in.
He got on the wooden bed to catch George.
乔治想逃出去，他爬上窗户试图掰开窗栅。

George ran out through the open door.
但是看守人太大太重了，床翻了，看守人摔倒了。
然后乔治以闪电般的速度从打开的门跑了出去。

and out on to the roof.

Quickly and quietly over the guard’s head,
George walked away. He was free!
他快速的穿过建筑物从屋顶逃了出去。
然后很幸运他是只猴子。
他踩着电话电话线走了出去。

stood a balloon man.

George watched.

He reached over and tried to help himself, but ——

他越过墙头想自己去拿，但是——
☟
instead of one balloon,
the whole bunch broke loose.
In an instant the wind whisked them all away and,
with them, went George,
holding tight with both hands.
不是一个气球，是整把气球都飞跑了。
马上它们就被风吹走了，跟它们一起的还有乔治，

and the people like dolls.
George was frightened. He held on very tight.

At first the wind blew in great gusts.
Then it quieted.
Finally it stopped blowing altogether.
George was very tired.
Down, down he went -bump,
on to the top of a traffic light.
Everyone was surprised. The traffic got all mixed up.
刚开始风刮的很大。后来风小了。
最后完全停了。

the man with the big yellow hat!

put him under his arm.
乔治很开心，男人也很开心。
