新概念第三册课文翻译及学习笔记：Lesson15
Children always appreciate small gifts of money. Mum or dad, of cour, provide a regular supply of pocket money, but uncles and ants are always a source of extra income. With
some children, small sums go a long way. If fifty pence
pieces are not exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside money boxes. Only very thrifty children manage to fill up a money box. For most of them, fifty pence is a small
price to pay for a nice big bar of chocolate.
My nephew, George, has a money box but it is always empty. Very few of the fifty
pence pieces and pound coins I have given him have found heir way there. I gave him fifty pence yesterday and advid him to save it. Instead he bought himlf fifty pence worth烤鸭腿

【课文翻译】
孩子们总是喜欢得到一些零花钱。爸爸妈妈当然经常给孩子零花钱，但是，叔舅婶姨也是孩子们额外收入来源。对于有些孩子来说，
少量的钱能够花很长一段时间。如果50便士不拿来换糖吃，则能够放
在储蓄罐里叮当响上好几月。但是能把储蓄罐装满的只有屈指可数的
几个特别节俭的孩子。对绝大部分孩子来说，用50便士来买一大块好
的巧克力，是算不了什么的。
我的外甥乔治有一个储蓄罐，但总是空空的。我给了很多50便士
的硬币，但没有几个存到储蓄罐里。昨天，我给了他50便士让存起来，却拿这钱给自己买了50 便士的麻烦。在他去糖果店的路上，50便士
掉在地上，在人行道上跳了几下，掉进了阴沟里。乔治脱掉外套，卷
起袖子，将右胳膊伸进了阴沟盖。但他摸了半天也没找到那50便士硬币，他的胳膊反倒退不出来了。这时在他周围上了很多人，一位女士
在乔治胳膊上抹了肥皂，黄油，但乔治的胳膊仍然卡得紧紧的。有人
打电话叫来消防队，两位消防队员使用了一种特殊的润滑剂才使乔治
得以解脱。不过，此事并没使乔治过于伤心，因为糖果店老板娘听说
了他遇到的麻烦后，赏给他一大盒巧克力。
