Unusual Echoes
Once Mark Twain and two friends were sitting in a restaurant
One friend has just returned from a trip to Vermont.
The friend said that the air in the mountains of Vermont was very clear.
In many places
the echo of a voice came back five times stronger than the original voice.
The second friend said that was nothing.
In Colorado,where he lived,in many places
the echo of a voice spoken in the morning came back in the afternoon.
Mark Twain laughed, Then he said,
Listen!The echoes which you have told me about are very unusual.
But in a small church in Missouri, where I was born,
there is an echo more unusual than those.
"What is so strange about the echo there?"asked one of them.
"Well,I will tell you,"said Mark Twain
"The echo in that church is so unusual that if one asks in a loud voice:
Good Morning!How are you?The echo repeats very clearly after a moment:
Very well,thank you. And how are you?

不同尋常的回音
有一次，馬克.土溫和兩個朋友在飯館里坐著。
一個朋友剛從佛蒙特旅行回來。
這位朋友說佛蒙特的大山里空氣非常清新。
在許多地方，
一個聲音的回音要比原來的聲音強(qiáng)五倍。
第二個朋友說那沒有什么。
在他居住的科羅拉多的許多地方，
一個早上說話的聲音要到下午才能返回。
馬克.土溫大笑起來，然后他說:
你們說的那些回音非常不同尋常。
但是在我出生的密蘇里的一個小教堂里，
有一個回音比你們說的那些更不同尋常。
"那里的那個回音有什么不同尋常的?"一個人問。
"好吧，我來告訴你們，"馬克.土溫說。
"那個教堂里的回音真的非常不同尋常，如果一個人 大聲問:
早上好!你好嗎?過一會兒，回音會清楚地回答:
非常好，謝謝。你好嗎？

A Different Kind of Audience
Al Smith was governor of New York States. He was a famous man.
He was born very poor on the East Side of New York City.
He had little education.He worked very hard and won great success.
One day,as governor, he was visiting the state prison at Sing Sing.
Sing Sing is one of the largest prisons in the United States
The head of the prison
asked Mr.Smith to say something to the prisoners.
Mr.Smith had never spoken to this kind of audience before.
He did not know how to begin.
Finally,he said,"My fellow citizens..."
Then he remembered that when a man goes to prison he is no longer a citizen.
He began again."My fellow prisoners..." That did not sound right,so he said,
"Well,anyway,I'm glad to see so many of you here today."
【篇四】譯文
與眾不同的聽眾
阿爾.史密斯是紐約的州長。他是個名人。
他出生在紐約市東部的一個窮苦家庭。
他讀書不多，但是他工作勤奮，終于獲得了很大的成就。
有一天，作為州長，他訪問星星州的監(jiān)獄。
星星監(jiān)獄是全國的監(jiān)獄之一。
監(jiān)獄長
請史密斯對囚犯們說幾句話。
史密斯先生從來沒有對這一類聽眾講過話。
他不知道該怎樣開口。
最后，他說:"我親愛的公民們......"
接著他想起一個人蹲進(jìn)監(jiān)獄就不再是公民了。
他重新開始:"我親愛的囚犯們......"那聽起來也不對勁兒，于是他說:
"噢，無論如何，今天在這兒見到你們這么多人真是太高興了。"
