大雪节气看美国孩子今天怎么＂上学＂!快来一起《堆雪人》吧!| 绘本周练

It snowed and snowed all night long, so today we had a snow day. Hooray!

▲ 说明：大雪下了整整一夜，所以今天小怪物要过Snow Day，不上学啰！

I wanted to build a snowman. I put on my snow boots and my mittens and my scarf.

Then, I helped Little Sister put on her snow stuff.

▲ 说明：小怪物全副武装，也帮妹妹穿戴好所有雪天的装备（好暖的哥哥啊），准备出门堆雪人！

After that, Dad needed my help. We shoveled and shoveled lots of snow……

……and then we had to find the car.

▲ 说明：可是爸爸需要帮忙（看到大雪封车的场景了吗？），小怪物只好先帮他铲雪。

I was going to build a snowman next, but Little Sister wanted to have a snowball fight. I let her hit me a bunch of times.

I only hit her one time by accident.

So then, I had to say I was sorry and give her a big hug.

▲ 说明：终于可以开始堆雪人了，可妹妹想要打雪仗，小怪物陪她玩了会儿，一不小心把雪球砸到妹妹身上，还得哄她半天（妈妈通常都是护着小的，当妹妹也总会娇气一点儿，画面上妈妈和妹妹的眼神好生动）

I was going to build a snowman after that, but Tiger and Bun Bun wanted to go ice-skating.

So, I showed everyone how I can skate backwards……and do jumps.

Then Tiger and I raced. It was a tie.

▲ 说明：搞定妹妹后小怪物想堆雪人，可好朋友Tiger和BunBun来了，小怪物只好先陪他们滑冰。

I was ready to build a snowman next, but Maurice and Molly wanted to go sledding. I steered all the way down the big hill. Wach out, Maurice and Molly, here we come!

▲ 说明：接着，又陪Maurice 和 Molly划雪橇；

When Little Sister and I got home, I was going to build a snowman. But Gator wanted me to help him build a snow fort.

And then Gabby wanted to make snow angels.

▲ 说明：回到家后，还帮Gator搭了个雪堡和雪天使……

Finally! It was time to build a snowman. First, we made a big snowball for the bottom.

Next, we put a smaller one on top……and an even smaller one on top of that one.

▲ 说明：终于，好不容易轮到堆雪人了，小怪物和妹妹配合得非常好，不一会儿，一个大雪人就堆出来啦！

Little Sister added prunes for his eyes and mouth, and a carrot for his nose.

And I put Mom's scarf around his neck and Dad's hat on his head. I even let him wear my sunglasses. Our snowman sure looked great!

▲ 说明：他们给雪人做了很多装饰，看起来真漂亮。

Little Sister was getting cold so we went inside. The snowman looked cold, too, so I decide to make some of my special hot chocolate to warm us all up.

First, Mom heated some milk while I got the secret ingredients.

▲ 说明：妹妹觉得冷，要进屋待一会儿。

I put everything into the pot and stirred it all up with a big spoon.

Then I put marshmallows on top and I poured the hot chocolate into three big mugs— one for me, one for Little Sister……

▲ 说明：小怪物翻箱倒柜地找出各种材料做了三杯美味的热巧克力。
