给奶奶的雪人

现在是冬天。在下雪。花园是白色的，屋顶是白色的，路也是白色的。

It is winter. It is snowing. The garden is white, the roof is white, and the street is white too.

苏菲和她的弟弟马克斯在奶奶家。奶奶住在一个村子里的小房子里。苏菲九岁。马克斯六岁。

Sophie and her brother Max are at Grandma’s. Grandma lives in a small house in a village. Sophie is nine. Max is six.

奶奶喜欢雪。每年冬天，她都和苏菲、马克斯一起堆雪人。可是今天奶奶生病了。她感冒了。她躺在床上咳嗽。

Grandma loves snow. Every winter she builds a snowman with Sophie and Max. But today Grandma is ill. She has a cold. She is lying in bed, coughing.

“好多雪啊，”奶奶说。她看着窗外。“我必须躺在床上。医生说我不可以出去。”

“So much snow,” says Grandma. She looks out of the window. “And I have to stay in bed. The doctor says no.”

苏菲和马克斯走进厨房。马克斯很难过。“奶奶不能去雪地里。”

Sophie and Max go into the kitchen. Max is sad. “Grandma can’t go out in the snow.”

苏菲想了想。然后她笑了。“奶奶不能去雪地里。但是雪可以来到奶奶身边！”

Sophie thinks. Then she laughs. “Grandma can’t go out in the snow. But the snow can come to Grandma!”

“雪在床上？”马克斯问。“那很冷。而且会湿。”

“Snow in the bed?” asks Max. “That’s cold. And wet.”

“不，不。跟我来！我有一个计划。”

“No, no. Come with me! I have a plan.”

他们穿上外套，戴上帽子和手套。他们走到花园里。奶奶的窗前有很多雪。非常多的雪。

They put on their coats, their hats and their gloves. They go into the garden. In front of Grandma’s window there is lots of snow. A great deal of snow.

“我们堆一个雪人，”苏菲说。“就在这儿。在窗户前面。这样奶奶一整天都能看到雪人。”

“We’ll build a snowman,” says Sophie. “Right here. In front of the window. Then Grandma can see the snowman all day.”
