特意种出的草

中央公园不是偶然出现的。两个人先在纸上画好了整个计划。它看起来像老自然,但其实都是人造的。

Central Park did not happen by chance. Two people drew the whole plan on paper first. It looks like old nature, but people built all of it.

公园下面是很硬的岩石。工人不能用手挖开它,所以他们用了炸药,比一场有名的老战役用得还多。每座山和每个池塘都是特意放的。

Under the park is hard rock. Workers could not dig through it by hand, so they used explosives, more than a famous old battle used. Every hill and pond was placed on purpose.

有一片大草地,以前真的有羊。它们在那里吃草,吃了七十年。一九三四年,它们被带走了。它们的羊棚变成了一家餐厅。

One big field once had real sheep that ate the grass short for seventy years. In nineteen thirty-four they were moved away, and their barn became a restaurant.

湖边有一座旧铁桥,建于一八六二年。在安静的傍晚,你能看到它在水里的样子。Polly看着松鼠跑过,那里曾是羊走过的地方。

Near the lake is an old iron bridge from eighteen sixty-two. On calm evenings you can see its shape in the water. Polly watched squirrels run where the sheep once walked.
