Unit 10 汤姆·索亚历险记
①Saturday morning was come, and all the summer world was bright and fresh, and brimming with life. ②There was a song in every heart; and if the heart was young the music issued at the lips. ③There was cheer in every face and a spring in every step. ④The locust-trees were in bloom and the fragrance of the blossoms filled the air. ⑤Cardiff Hill, beyond the village and above it, was green with vegetation and it lay just far enough away to seem a Delectable Land, dreamy, reposeful, and inviting.
⑥Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a long-handled brush.⑦He surveyed the fence, and all gladness left him and a deep melancholy settled down upon his spirit. ⑧Thirty yards of board fence nine feet high. ⑨Life to him seemed hollow, and existence but a burden. ⑩Sighing, he dipped his brush and passed it along the topmost plank; repeated the operation; did it again; compared the insignificant whitewashed streak with the far-reaching continent of unwhitewashed fence, and sat down on a tree-box discouraged. ⑪Jim came skipping out at the gate with a tin pail,and singing Buffalo Gals.
