LESSON 49 THE LAST CROSS WORD 第四十九课 最后一面中说些让人生气的话

"Oh,"said a little girl, bursting into tears, when she heard of the death of a young friend, 当听到她的一个年轻朋友去世的消息时，这个小女孩眼泪决堤，

"I did not know, when I saw her, that it was the last time I should have to speak to Amy!" "我不知道我上次见她竟然是我最后一次和她说话。"

The last time they were together she spoke¹ crossly to her, and that last cross word now lay heavy on her heart. 最后一次他们在一起这个小女孩生气的和她说话，那些气话现在在她心里很沉重。

This points out a good rule about kind words. 这指出来了关于说些和善的话的好的规则。

Speak kindly² to your father, to your mother, to your brother, to your sister, to your play-mates, to every one around you, lest it should be the last time you will have to speak to them. 对爸妈哥哥姐姐、玩伴等等身边的每一个人都和善的说话吧，万一这是最后一次你们说话呢。

Cross words are very sad to think of. 气话想起来会很伤心的。

Little children,love each other; 小孩子要互相关爱，

Never give another pain: 从来不要给别人痛苦。

If your brother speak in anger, 如果你的兄弟说了些气话，

Answer not in wrath³ again. 你不要再盛怒的去回应。
