双语故事|抱婴投江

once upon a time, a man passing by a river noticed that a grown-up^{1 man was going to throw a child he carried in his arms into the river.}

At this moment, the child was frightened, crying loudly and shouting in confusion^2.

The passer-by asked: Why are you to throw the child into the river? Aren't you afraid he would be drowned?

The man answered: It doesn't matter. His father is good at swimming.

The passer-by then asked: His father can swim, but does it follow that the son can also swim without practice?

以前，有个人路过江边，发现一个成年男子抱着一个孩子，筹备把他投到江里去。

这个时候，孩子害怕了，吓得哇哇地乱哭乱叫。

那个过路人就问：你为何要把孩子投到江里去？难道不怕他淹死吗？

那个男子回答说：不要紧，他父亲是个游泳能手。

那个过路人就说：父亲会游泳，难道他儿子不经过训练，也会游泳吗？
