SPORTS DAY運動會

Have you ever been to Nonsenseland?

In Nonsenseland, the grass is blue and the trees are red. And all the cars have square wheels.

Why?

Easy! So they don't roll away when they are parked on a hill.

I know, what nonsense!

你去過荒唐王國嗎？

在荒唐王國，草是藍的，樹是紅的。所有的汽車輪子都是方的。

為什么呢？

很簡單！這樣車停在山上時就不會滑下來了。

我明白了，真荒唐！

And in Nonsenseland they hold a sports day every summer.

Nothing silly about that I hear you say.

Well, you'll just have to wait and see.

在荒唐王國，每年夏天都要舉辦一場運動會。

聽你所說，這事兒沒什么荒唐的呀。

好吧，那你就等著瞧吧。

This year, the preparations for the sports day started two weeks before the event and, it being Nonsenseland,things happened somewhat differently to how you would have expected.

今年，運動會的準備工作兩個星期前就開始了。因為這里是荒唐王國，事情跟你們預期的多多少少有點兒不一樣。

Little Miss Scatterbrain got the sports field ready.

Mr Dizzy marked out the track for the races.

糊涂小姐把運動場準備好了。

The day of the Nonsenseland

Sports Day dawned to a great deal of excitement.

All the Mr Men were there,and no one was more excited than Mr Rush who was at the sports day for the very first time.

荒唐王國運動會終于開始了，大家都很興奮。所有的人都來了，最激動的要數匆忙先生了，他可是第一次參加荒唐王國的運動會。

He couldn't wait for the last event of the day. The 100 metre sprint①sprint 短跑，沖刺，賽跑。.

But for the first time in his life he did wait.

他等不及要參加最后一個比賽項目。100 米賽跑。

這還是他這輩子第一次耐下心來等待呢。

There were lots of other events to watch first.

However, as each one came and went, Mr Rush became more and more confused.

先要觀看許多其他的比賽項目。

然而，隨著一個個比賽開始又結束，匆忙先生越來越摸不著頭腦了。

The high jump had become the low jump and was won by Mr Small.

And the long jump was the short jump.Won by Little Miss Tiny.

跳高變成了跳矮，獲勝的是小小先生。

跳遠變成了跳近，袖珍小姐得了第一。

Throwing the hammer became throwing the jelly.

Won by Mr Strong, whose jelly went a bit further than he intended it to!

擲鏈球變成了扔果凍。

強壯先生獲勝，他的果凍飛得比預期的還要遠一點兒！
