中文故事

有一天,一个terrific(极好的)想法击中了巴塞洛缪。他oversleep(睡过头)了,错过了早上的chapel(小教堂)礼拜。“如果,”他看着一只蜜蜂在花上,沉思道,“我能通过pollinate(授粉)来改善我的生活呢?”他想象了一个世界,每个人都能收到由微型无人机递送的“唤醒”花粉。他宏伟的计划,一种空中motif(主题),就是使用微型parachute(降落伞)将这些“唤醒”花粉投放到每个人的shore(岸边),确保再也没有人会oversleep(睡过头)。这是一个terrific(极好的),虽然有点荒谬的想法。

英语故事

Once, a terrific idea struck Bartholomew. He had overslept, missing the morning chapel service. "What if," he mused, staring at a bee on a flower, "I could pollinate my way to a better life?" He imagined a world where everyone received a 'wake-up' pollin, delivered by tiny drones. His grand plan, a sort of airborne motif, was to use miniature parachutes to drop these 'wake-ups' onto everyone's shoreline, ensuring no one ever overslept again. It was a terrific, if slightly absurd, thought.
