54 富兰克林的妈妈 Franklin'S MAM

富兰克林的妈妈教育富兰克林“There is a will, there is a way”有志者事竟成，只要你想做某事，就努力去做。

　　Franklin could count by twos and tie his shoes. He liked exploring outdoors and going on camping trips. But one camping trip seemed like it was over before it even began…(还没开始就结束了)

　　M: Tent pegs?

　　帐篷的桩子

　　F: Check!

　　M: Flashlight?

　　B: Check!

　　M: Marshmallows?

　　F: Check.!

　　B: Double check!

　　F:Is that all you packed for the camping trip Bear?

　　B: And my toothbrush. I didn’t have room for anything else.

　　F:Oh Bear…Here, I’ll put these in here so you’ve got room for a sleeping bag.

　　B: Thanks, Franklin.

　　M:Now, where was I ? here we are.one frying-pan.

　　我说到哪了?啊，对了

　　Fa:Check.!

　　M: Oh, dear!/Dad/Oh no!

　　Fa: Oooooo, that hurts.

　　M: Here, come over here and sit down.

　　F: Gee, Dad, are you going to be okay?

　　Fa: I’ll be okay, but I’m not so sure about my big toe.,

　　M: You’re going to need to stay off that foot for a while.

　　Fa: I’m afraid you are righ. But I was really looking forward to our camping trip.

　　F: Yeah, me too./So was I .

　　Fa: Well now there’s no reason why you shouldn’t still go.

　　F:But…we’ve never gone a camping trip without you before, Dad, who’s going to do all the hard stuff? Like carrying our heavy backpack?

　　M:I’m surprised you two are willing to give up so easily. Where there is a will, there is a way.

　　B: What do you mean?

　　M: I mean if you want to do something badly enough, then you’ll figure out a way to do it.

　　F; Well I want to go camping badly enough.(非常想)。

　　B: Me too.

　　M: Then we’ll figure our a way to do it.

　　F: Using a wagon was a good idea, mom.

　　M:Just remember…where there is a will, there is a way.

　　B: And we’re on our way to go camping!

　　F: I know. This is great! I wish Dad could have come too.

　　B:Yeah, we could have pulled him in the wagon.

　　M:Yes I’m sure he would have enjoyed that.(很高兴).But I think he’ll be more comfortable at home.

　　F;Yeah, with his crossword puzzles and a bag of frozen peas on his toe.

　　f: The old bridge is gone.

　　B:Now what are we going to do?

　　F: Now I guess we’ll have to turn back. Right mom?

　　M:Remember where there is a will, there is a way. Hmmm And the way across this river will be by rope.

　　F: By rope? How are we going to do that?

　　B:Yahooo! I’m king of the jungle!

　　M: How did you enjoy crossing the river like that?

　　B: It’s great! I loved it! I can hardly wait until we head back home so I can do it again!

　　M: Don’t wish your camping trip away. Here, I need someone to swing back to the other side to tie this to the wagon handle.

　　先别希望野营结束啊!

　　F: I’ll do it! We’ll both do it…

　　M: Just half way to go.

　　还剩一半的路了。

　　B: Gee, franklin . I didn’t know your Mom had so many neat ideas.

　　F: Neither did I .i knew she was good at being a mom. But I didn’t know she was good at everything!

　　M: One good pull should get the wheels up over that rock. Grab hold boys.

　　F: Come on Bear! One, Two Three,Pull!

　　M: Our backpackOh no!

　　F: It’s floating away!

　　B: How are we going to get it, Franklin?

　　F: I don’t know! Ask my mom!

　　M: I’m thinking. I’m thinking.

　　M: Oh dear! Are you two alright?

　　B: I’m alright.

　　F: I had a soft landing, thanks to bear.

　　B: Oh no …the backpack!

　　F: So much for our camping trip Bear.

　　M: Are’t you boys forgetting something?

　　B: Where there is a will, there is a way?

　　M: That’s right.

　　F: There’s a way even when everything we need for camping just went over a waterfall?

　　M: Yes, even then. Come on boys, let’s start building a shelter.

　　F: Building this shelter was lots of fun!

　　搭棚子真有意思。

　　B: Yeah, but all that fun has made me feel kinda hungry.

　　F: Yeah, me too.

　　B:Maybe we should have a snack.(该吃点东西了)

　　F: Good idea…except the food was in the backpack, remember?

　　B: What? No food?

　　F: I guess we’ll have to go home after all.

　　M:Go home? After I gathered all this food?

　　B: wow!

　　M: We have fiddleheads, bullrush roots ,chestnuts and wild carrots, all gathered from the forest.

　　M: I think you’ll find it a little tastier if it’s cooked first.

　　B: Okay, I’ll get some firewood.

　　F: oh, no.

　　B: What’s wrong?

　　F:The matches…they were in the backpack too. How are we going to start a fire?

　　B:where there is a will, there is a way.

　　M:Long ago, before matches were invented, a rock called flint was used to start a fire.

　　B:Neatwow. Look. You did it. Yay !

　　F:Mmmmmm….That’s good!

　　B: I’m stuffed!

　　F: Can Bear and I go exploring Mom?

　　M: Exploring? That sounds like fun. But be careful.

　　F: We will, Mom.

　　B: Maybe we’ll find some berries for dessert.

　　F: I thought you were full,Bear.

　　B: Not the dessert part, it’s still empty!

　　B: Wouldn’t it be neat to have a secret fort behind here?

　　F:Yeah.

　　F:Bear! Look! It’s our backpack!

　　B:But, how are we going to get it way out there?

　　F:Hmmmm, where there is a will, there is a way.

　　B: Don’t you mean, where there’s a Mom , there’s a way.

　　F:Follow me Bear! Steady bear,(站稳了)

　　B:whew!/That was close!

　　F:Help me paddle us closer.

　　B:Got it!

　　F:Good work Bear!

　　B:Thanks Franklin!

　　B:What?

　　F:We’re floating away!

　　B:Hold on.

　　B:We’re heading for the rapids!(急流)

　　F:Put the backpack on Bear! Hurry!

　　B:Errrf…it’s really…heavy! Why do I have to put it on?

　　F:See that branch up there? Get ready to grab it!

　　B:Yay!/We did it!

　　B:That was really good thinking(主意)，Franklin.

　　F: Where there is a will, there is a way.

　　M:I’m so glad you two are all right. But I still can’t get over (搞不懂)how you rescued the backpack.

　　F:Neither can I .And since we’re sleeping in our homemade shelter, I’m not sure why we even tried to save it?

　　B:For these, Franklin!

　　F:Oh, yeah.

　　Fa:Does anyone have an extra marshmallow stick?:

　　F:Dad!??

　　B: How did you find us in the dark?

　　Fa:I follow the smell of roasting marshmallows.

　　M:I want to know how you got here on your sore foot?

　　F:Where there is a will, there is a way.Right Dad?

　　Fa:That’s right. And where there’s a pillow and an ice pack…There’s a way that’s less painful.
