雙語故事:New?vet(新手獸醫(yī))

【英文原文】

Shortly after graduating from veterinary school
I rode with my mother in the Michigan Trail Riders' annual trek across state. Late one afternoon
I was summoned to look at a horse that had reared up and flipped over in his trailer. Fortunately the horse was not seriously injured
but some lacerations needed stitching.
As I worked
I heard my mother chatting with the perturbed owner. "Don't worry
sir
" she said. "My daughter's a great vet. She'll fix your horse up just fine."
"That's good to hear
" said the man. "How long has she been a vet?"
"A week
" replied my mother
proudly. Then hastily she added
"But she's been embroidering since she was eight years old."



【中文譯文】
　從獸醫(yī)學校畢業(yè)沒幾天，我就跟媽媽騎馬去參加了密歇根州一年一度的穿越全州的野外騎行活動。一個下午的晚些時候，我被召去看一匹馬。那馬在猛跳的時候碰到了身后的拖卡。 幸好，馬傷得不重，但傷口裂開處要縫上幾針。
我正治馬的時候，我聽到媽媽跟那焦躁不安的馬主在說話.。“不用擔心，先生，” 媽媽說，“我女兒是個很好的獸醫(yī)，她會把你的馬治得復舊如初”。
“那太好了”，那人說。“你女兒當獸醫(yī)多長時間了？”
“一個星期，”，我媽媽回答，甚是自豪。 然后，她猶豫地補充說，“不過，她在8歲時就開始做繡花了”。
