　　Once in a pretty little country school there were two boys, who were called Tidy Tom and Dirty Dan.  以前这一个小的乡村学校，有两个男孩，他们分别叫整洁汤姆和脏丹。

　　Let me tell you how Tom got his name. 我来告诉你汤姆是怎么有这样名字的。

　　Every morning he rose up very early.  每天早晨，他起的很早。

　　Before breakfast he brushed his boots¹ to make them shine, and then carefully brushed all the dust² from his cap and coat. 早饭前，他会刷他的靴子，从而让他们看起来光亮，然后又会很仔细的刷去帽子和外套上的灰尘。

　　After that he washed his hands and face, combed³ his hair, and took his breakfast.  这样之后他洗手，洗脸，梳理头发，然后吃早餐。

　　Then, taking his books under his arm, he started off to school. 最后把书放在手臂上，开始去学校。

　　He had a long way to go, but he was always there in time.  他有很长路要走，但是他总是准时到达。

　　He always knew his lessons, and he was clean and tidy. So the boys called him Tidy Tom. 他知道他上了什么课程，他是如此干净整洁。所以他自称为整洁汤姆。

　　Learn this little lesson as well as you can— 学完本课，你可以——

　　Be tidy like Tom, not dirty like Dan. 像汤姆一样整洁，不要像丹那样脏。
