《小马俱乐部历险记》中英双语版·15

3月3日，星期天 【本书已在亚马逊上架】

今天，我们穿过了栅栏门来到了邻居的大山坡上。从山顶上极目远眺，真叫人惊叹不已！！！碧绿苍翠的小山丘连绵起伏，一眼望不到尽头——真是理想的跑马场！安达卢西亚马场刚好就在山坡下面，于是我们就决定骑着马慢跑下去看一看。安达卢西亚如此之美，一路上笑声不断——真惬意！

然而，就在那时，我们遇到了牛群，牛群里还有许多小牛。小牛儿好可爱。我们本想要靠拢去看看，可是米粒被吓呆了。她那么高大，却这么胆小！她什么都害怕！！！就连要跨过我家附近的小溪，小溪里没有水的时候，她也不敢伸出脚去，而是一大步跳过去！看着她跳跃小溪的样子，真让人害怕。

反正，米粒今天被那些牛儿吓破了胆，雪莉简直没法让她镇定下来。突然间，一群公牛不知从哪儿冒了出来，甚至有一头直奔我们而来！真把我给吓坏了——因为它开始追了过来，逼得我们向山下飞奔而逃。山坡又那么陡，下坡时心惊胆战，把我都吓呆了！

雪莉后来对我说，这是她一生中最恐怖的时刻。当时她还以为，那头公牛追赶我们，会把我们抵在了栅栏上——太恐怖了！！！

当时也根本没法迅速逃回我家的围场！想到这里，我的心此刻都还在怦怦直跳。( 文章阅读网：www.sanwen.net )

Sunday 3 March

Today we went through the gate onto our neighbor’s big hill and the view from the top was AMAZING!!! We could see for miles and miles and there are beautiful green hills everywhere – it’s so nice for riding! And we could see the Andalusian horse property just down the hill. So we decided to canter down and have a look. It was so much fun and the Andalusians are so pretty.

But then, we came across all the cows. And they had little calves with them. They were so cute. We wanted to get closer and have a look but Millie was petrified. She’s such a big horse - but she’s such a huge scaredy cat! She’s scared of EVERYTHING!!! Even crossing our creek when there’s hardly any water in it. She will not cross over it! She has to jump across. And that’s a huge leap! It’s scary watching her.

Anyway, when Millie got scared of all the cows today, Shelly had trouble keeping her calm. And then all of a sudden, some bulls appeared out of nowhere. This one bull just came for us! I was so scared because it started chasing us and we had to gallop down the hill to get away. And the hill was so steep – it was scary getting down. I was petrified!

Shelley told me later that it was the scariest moment of her life. She thought when the bull was chasing us, we’d get pinned to the fence. It was SO SCARY!!!

We couldn’t get back into our paddock quickly enough! My heart is still thumping just thinking about it.
