一、课文内容

Lesson 6 Percy Buttons
I have just moved to a house in Bridge Street.
Yesterday a beggar knocked at my door.
He asked me for a meal and a glass of beer.
In return for this, the beggar stood on his head and sang songs.
I gave him a meal.
He ate the food and drank the beer.
Then he put a piece of cheese in his pocket and went away.
Later a neighbour told me about him.
Everybody knows him.
His name is Percy Buttons.
He calls at every house in the street once a month and always asks for a meal and a glass of beer.

我刚刚搬进了大桥街的一所房子。
昨天一个乞丐来敲我的门，问我要一顿饭和一杯啤酒。
作为回报，那乞丐头顶地倒立起来，嘴里还唱着歌。
我给了他一顿饭。
他把食物吃完，又喝了酒。
然后把一块乳酪装进衣袋里走了。
后来，一位邻居告诉了我他的情况。
大家都认识他，他叫珀西.巴顿斯。
他每月对这条街上的每户人家光顾一次，总是请求给他一顿饭和一杯啤酒。
