The World Map
世界地图
Jerry was looking at a map. It was a map of the world. The map showed many countries. It showed all the countries in the world. All the countries were different colors. There were red countries, green countries, and blue countries. Jerry pointed at one country. “Daddy, why is this country red? Is it on fire? Did someone paint the ground red? Does it have a lot of tomatoes?” Jerry pointed at another country. It was a green country. “Daddy, why is this country green? Does it have a lot of grass? Did someone paint the ground green?” Jerry pointed at another country. It was a blue country. “Daddy, why is this country blue? Is it full of blue water? Does it have a lot of bluebirds? Did someone paint the ground blue?” His daddy said, “No, the colors make the map pretty. They don’t mean anything.”
杰里正在看地图。这是张世界地图。地图上显示了许多国家。显示了世界上所有的国家。各个国家的颜色不同。有红色的，绿色的，蓝色的。杰里指着某个国家。爸爸，为什么这个国家是红色的？ 这里是不是着火了？人们把地面涂成了红色？那里是不是有许多西红柿？杰里又指着另一个国家。国家由绿色代表。爸爸，为什么这个国家是绿色的？那里是不是有许多草地？那里的地面是不是被涂成了绿色？杰里又指着另一个国家。蓝色的国家。爸爸，为什么它是蓝色的？那里是不是到处是蓝色的大海？是不是有许多蓝鸟？有人把地面涂成了蓝色？他的爸爸说：“不是，颜色让地图显眼多彩。它们不代表任何意思。”
