Football or polo?
原文
What happened to the man in the boat?
The Wayle is a small river that cuts across the park near my home.
I like sitting by the Wayle on fine afternoons.
It was warm last Sunday, so I went and sat on the river bank as usual.
Some children were playing games on the bank and there were some people rowing on the river.
Suddenly, one of the children kicked a ball very hard and it went towards a passing boat.
Some people on the bank called out to the man in the boat, but he did not hear them.
The ball struck him so hard that he nearly fell into the water.
I turned to look at the children, but there weren't any in sight: they had all run away!
The man laughed when he realized what had happened.
He called out to the children and threw the ball back to the bank.
译文
船上的那个男人怎么了？
韦尔河是一条小河，流经我家附近的公园。
我喜欢在天气好的下午坐在韦尔河畔。
上周日天气很暖和，所以我像往常一样去河边坐着。
有些孩子在河岸上玩游戏，还有一些人在河上划船。
突然，其中一个孩子用力踢了一个球，球飞向了一艘正在经过的船。
河岸上的一些人向船上的男人喊话，但他没有听到。
球重重地打在他身上，差点把他撞进水里。
我转身看向那些孩子，但他们已经不见了——他们都跑掉了！
当那个男人意识到发生了什么时，他笑了起来。
他朝孩子们喊了一声，然后把球扔回了岸上。
