图书序言
P.1-2
当冬天来临,安格斯越来越厌倦同一个院子、同一间房子和同一只猫,以及牠所知道的这一切事物。
安格斯对于其他地方和其他事物充满了好奇,像是 ─牛奶配送员是从哪里来的、这条宽广的路通往哪里以及汽车是哪一种动物等等。
When winter came Angus grew tired of the same yard and the same house and the same cat and all the same things he knew all about.
Angus was curious about other places and other things such as—where the milk man came from and where the wide road went to and what kind of animals cars are things like that.
于是有一天,安格斯从栅栏门偷偷熘出去,然后 ……
So one day Angus slipped through the gate and—
P.3-4
牠来到宽广的路上,
安格斯抬头看看这条路,牠看不到尽头。
安格斯低头看看这条路,牠看不到尽头。
There he was on the wide road.
Angus looked up the road and he could see no end.
Angus looked down the road and he could see no end.
这时,另外一只狗走了过来。
「汪汪汪汪!」安格斯吠。
「嗷嗷嗷呜!」那只狗唿喊。
Then another dog came by.
“WOOOOF,” said Angus.
“GRRRRF,” called the other dog.
P.5-6
安格斯和那只狗在宽广的路上一起奔跑。
Angus and the other dog ran together up the wide road.
那只狗跑得多快,安格斯就跑得多快。
但是安格斯的腿太短了。
Faster ran the other dog, faster ran Angus,
but Angus’s leg’s were too short.
