“Oh, this isannoying[討厭的]!” cried Cubby.“What’s going on?” Grandpa asked.

“Theflies[蒼蠅]sit on the food we eat, andmosquitoes[蚊子]suck[吸]our blood! I don’t thinkbugs[蟲子]do anythingpositive[積極的]for human beings,” Cubby continued.

“Ha! Ha…” Grandpa laughed.

Then, Grandpa said, “Cubby, bugs aretrack and field[田徑賽]athletes,”

“What? No way! How can they be track and field athletes?Ha! Ha!” laughed Cubby.

Cubby thought and said as he smiled, “I wish cockroaches were as big as humans.”

“What!” Grandpaexclaimed[大叫].

“If a human and acockroach[蟑螂]run a race,who do you think will win?”

“The human, of course! I think even a baby would be faster than a cockroach.” Cubby saidconfidently[自信地].

“What if a cockroach wereas big as[和……一樣大]a human? What would happen, then?” Grandpa asked again.

“Hmmm, let’s see. If a cockroach were as big as a person…” Cubby said as he thought.

“A roach can run fiftytimes[倍數]thelength[長度]of his body in one second,” Grandpa said.

“Wow! That’s a surprise!” said Cubby as his eyeswidened[變寬]with surprise.

“That means if a roach is as big as a human, it can run 80 meters in one second. So, what do you think about me telling you the cockroach is a track and field athlete, now?” asked Grandpa.

“Then, a cockroach could become my car,”answered Cubby.

“Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!” Grandpa and Cubby laughed together.

難句分析

A roach can run fifty times the length of his body in one second.

這是英語中表達倍數的一種形式：A+謂語+倍數+the+n.(size/height/ length…)+of B。例如：

This square is twice the size of that one. 這個廣場的面積是那個的兩倍。
