2019年小学英语晨读练习：《Bad temper》

　　There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper， he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

　　从前有个小男孩，他的脾气很差。有一天，爸爸给了他一袋钉子，告诉他，每次发脾气了，他就要在栅栏的里面钉上一颗钉子。

　　The first day， the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.

　　Over the next few weeks， as he learned to control his anger， the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down.

　　He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

　　第一天，小男孩在栅栏上钉了37颗钉子。

　　后面一周，他开始学会控制脾气了，钉上去的钉子数量一天天变少了。

　　他发现，比起在栅栏上钉钉子，控制脾气要容易得多。

　　Finally the day came when the boy didn‘t lose his temper at all.

　　He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

　　The days passed and the boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nailswere gone.

　　终于有一天，小男孩一次都没有发脾气了。

　　他告诉了他的爸爸，爸爸跟他说，如果哪天没有发脾气，就从栅栏上拔掉一颗钉子。

　　日子一天天过去了，男孩告诉爸爸，他终于拔掉了所有的钉子。

　　The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.

　　He said， “You have done well， my son， but look at the holes in the fence.

　　The fence will never be the same.

　　When you say things in anger， they leave a scar just like this one.

　　You can put a knife in a man and draw it out.

　　It won’t matter how many times you say I‘m sorry.

　　The wound is still there.”

　　爸爸牵着儿子的手走到栅栏边，对儿子说：“儿子，你做得很好。

　　但是你看看栅栏上的这些洞，都是钉子留下的，栅栏永远恢复不了以前的样子了。

　　你生气的时候说的那些话，就会留下这样的伤疤。

　　如果你用刀子捅了一个人，然后把刀拔出来，无论你说多少遍对不起，伤疤都不会消失了。”
