应得的报酬right price[英][rait prais] [美][raɪt praɪs] 中英文小故事：应得的报酬 一天，高顿一家在海边度假。高顿先生很吝啬，连张椅子都舍不得租，因此，他和高顿太太只能坐在沙滩上读报纸。12岁的女儿桑德拉，独自一人在海边玩耍。 突然，海面上掀起了一个大浪，桑德拉被海浪卷进海里去了。幸运的是，一名执勤的救生员看到了海浪卷走了桑德拉。救生员沿岸边跑去，纵身跳入大海中，快速向小女孩游过去。此时，桑德拉只有头还露在海面上，拼命挣扎着，呼喊着救命。 桑德拉吓坏了，救生员游到她身边时，她拼命抓着救生员，溺水者经常这样在水中挣扎。不过，经验丰富的救生员知道该如何处理这种情况，他迅速抓住桑德拉，带她游回岸边。 救生员游到岸边之前，高顿夫妇就意识到发生了什么事，他们迅速跑到海边。可是，他们都不会游泳，只能站在浅水区干着急，不知救生员是否能及时救到他们的女儿？很幸运，救生员及时赶到，桑德拉得救了。 事后，高顿先生夸奖救生员说：“年轻人，干得麻利！”然后对高顿夫人说：“赏给这位救生员一美元吧！” “一美元！”桑德拉喊道。“爸爸，你怎么能给他一美元，刚才我都淹得‘半死’了.他救了我的命啊！” “说得太对了，孩子！”高顿先生很高兴女儿能认识到钱的价值。 他转向高顿夫人，对她说道：“桑德拉说得很对，她只是淹得半死，那就给这位救命恩人五十美分吧！” The Right Price The Gordon family was spending a day on a beach. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were sitting on the sand，reading their magazines. Mr. Gordon was too stingy to rent a chair. Their twelve-year-old daughter, Sandra, was playing at the water’s edge. Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out to sea. Fortunately, a lifeguard was on duty and he saw the wave carry Sandra away. He ran along the beach and dived into the sea. He swam quickly to where the girl， with her head only above the water，was shouting for help. She was very frightened. When the lifeguard reached her she struggled with him，as drowning people often do. However, he knew what to do and soon took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach. By the time he reached it, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon had realized what had happened. They ran down to the water s edge. Neither of them could swim. They just stood in the shallow water, and worried about their daughter. Had the lifeguard saved her in time? Fortunately? he had. “That was quick work，young man,”Mr. Gordon said. He turned to his wife. “Give the lifeguard a dollar. ” “A dollar!” Sandra cried. “Dad，how can you give him a dollar! He saved my life. I was half dead. ” “Quite right，girl,”Mr. Gordon said，pleased by his daughter’s awareness of the value of money. He turned to his wife again and said, “She，s right. She was only half dead. Give him fifty cents. ” 中英文例句 1. Pittsfield to "provide" quality "furniture" and home furnishings right price. 皮茨菲尔德提供优质家居陈设家具价格的权利。 2.
