Buy a Goat
买头羊
“I hate mowing my lawn,” said Gil. “Every week I have to mow my lawn. Every week for six months I have to mow my lawn. What can I do?” “You should dig it up,” said Brenda. “Take out all the grass. Pave your yard. Make a concrete yard. Then you won’t have to mow it. You don’t have to mow concrete. Grass grows, but concrete doesn’t grow.” Gil thought that was a bad idea. “That’s a bad idea,” he said. Concrete is hot. Concrete is ugly. Concrete is hard. “Nobody wants a concrete yard,” he said. “I have another idea,” said Brenda. “Buy a goat. A goat will eat all your grass. A goat loves to eat grass. Get rid of your dog. Your dog doesn’t eat grass. Your dog is lazy. A goat is a hard worker.” Gil said that was a good idea.
吉尔说：“我讨厌割草。每周我都要割草。一干就是六个月。我能怎么办？”布伦达说：“你应该把它铲走，把草全部清除。为你的院子铺路。建造一个混凝土院落。这样你就不用割草了。你不需要清扫混凝土。草会生长。但混凝土不会。”吉尔认为这不是个好主意。他说：“这主意不好”。混凝土很烫。也不好看。还很硬。他说：“没人喜欢用混凝土。”布伦达说：“我还有个主意，买一头羊。羊吃草。羊喜欢吃草。别要你的狗了。狗不会吃草。你的狗很懒。羊是个辛勤工作的动物。吉尔说这是个好主意。
