你的故事不全,我有完整的版本:
One day Mr.Robinson saw a lady in the street with ten children.He was very surprised because all the children were wearing the same clothes---white caps,dark blue coats and gray trousers."Are all those children yours?" he asked the mother."Oh yes,they are," she answered."Do you always dress them in the same clothes?" asked Mr.Robinson."Yes," answered the mother."When we had only four children,we dressed them in the same clothes because we did not want to lose any of them.It was easy to see our children when they were among other children because they were all wearing the same clothes.Now,when we have ten,we dress them like this because we do not want to take other children home too by mistake.When the other children are among ours,it is easy to see them because their clothes are different."
有一天罗宾逊先生在街上看到一位女士带着十个孩子.他很惊讶,因为所有的孩子都穿同样的衣服-----头上带着白色的帽子,上身穿着深蓝的上衣,下身穿着灰色的裤子.他问那位母亲:“这些孩子都是你的吗?”她回答说:“是的,都是我的.”罗宾逊先生又问:“你总是给他们穿一样的衣服吗?”那位母亲回答说:“是的.当初我们只有四个孩子的时候,我们给他们穿同样的衣服,是因为我们不希望丢失任何一个孩子.当我们的孩子混同在其他孩子中间时,因为他们都穿一样的衣服,就很容易看见我们的孩子.现在我们有十个孩子了,我们给他们穿成这样,是因为我们不希望因为失误而把别的孩子也带回家去.如果别的孩子混同在我们的孩子中间,很容易看见别的孩子,因为他们的衣服与我们的孩子不一样.”
