             95                     The Cinema

Mary likes the cinema very much. She has no lessons and no homework on Saturdays, so she always goes to the cinema that afternoon. She prefers funny films but often she sees other kinds of films. She usually goes with some other schoolfriends, and they all sit together and eat nuts and ice cream and laugh when something funny happens.

Last Saturday Mary saw a film about a funny man. His name was Percy. Percy was fat and had a big, black moustache¹. He went out one night to play cards with his friends when his wife was asleep. When he was going home at midnight², a fierce³ dog ran after him and tore⁴ his trouser pocket, so Percy lost his key. He tried to climb up a ladder to get into his house through a window. But he slipped⁵ down the ladder and made a terrible noise. His wife woke up and cried, "Help! Thieves!"Someone telephoned the police and policemen quickly arrived. Percy ran away, but he slipped and fell into the mud⁶ at the side of the river. Mary and her friends laughed a lot.

  玛丽很喜欢看电影。星期六，她不上学也没有作业，所以星期六下午她总是去看电影。她喜欢喜剧，但她也常看其他电影。她通常和同学们一起去，他们坐在一起，吃果仁，吃冰激凌，看到有趣的地方，大家哄堂大笑。 

  上周六，玛丽看了一部关于一个有趣的男人的电影，他的名字叫珀西。珀西很胖，长着又黑又密的胡子。一天晚上，当他妻子睡觉时，他出去和他的朋友玩牌。半夜他回家时，一条凶猛的狗追着他，撕破了他的裤子口袋，所以珀西的钥匙掉了。他试着爬上梯子想从窗户钻进去。可是他从梯子上滑了下去，发出很响的声音。他妻子醒了，叫起来：“救命！有小偷！”有人报了警，警察很快就到了。珀西逃离了现场，但却滑倒在河边的泥浆里。玛丽和她朋友都要笑死了。
