《Molly Can't Fall Asleep》莫莉睡不着

也不知道睡不着觉的时候，数羊这件事是谁发明的，而且竟然国内外通用。为什么不是1，2，3，4，5，而一定要是一只羊，两只羊，三只羊，四只羊，五只羊......，又为什么不能一只猫，一只猪，或是一只狗，为什么一定要是羊呢。从小我妈告诉我睡不着数羊的时候，我用这个办法从没奏效过。你们有人用这个办法真的能解决失眠的问题吗？

Little Molly goes to bed, but she cannot fall asleep. She sits up. She lies down again. Still, she cannot sleep. It is not fun at all. Molly wants to sleep. What can she do?

小莫莉上床睡觉了，但是她怎么都睡不着。她坐起来。然后她又躺下，她仍然睡不着。这一点儿都不好玩。莫莉很想要睡觉，她该怎么办呢？

Mommy teaches Molly a trick. It will help her fall asleep. It is fun and easy. What is it? Counting sheep! Close your eyes and try it.

妈妈教给莫莉一个小诀窍。会帮助她轻松入睡。并且还很有趣也很容易 。那是什么呢？数羊！闭上眼睛然后试试吧。

Imagine a small wall---not too high and not too low--- just right for sheep to jump over. Now imagine a flock of sheep. How many are there? Let's count them. Count the sheep as they jump over the wall.

想象一下，有一堵墙——不能太高也不能太低——刚好让一只羊能够跳过去的高度。现在想象有一群羊。有多少只羊呢？让我们来数一数吧。当羊跳过墙时就数一数。

One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four...

一只羊，两只羊，三只羊，四只羊......

Molly begins to count the sheep. Ten ,eleven, twelve... Keep your eyes closed. Keep counting. Molly. Watch the sheep and count.

莫莉开始数羊。10只羊，11只羊，12只羊......闭上你的眼睛。继续数。莫莉，继续看继续数。

One hundred, one hundred and one, one hundred and two... Count,count,count. What's the sound? It's the sound of Molly sleeping.

100只羊，101只羊，102只羊，数啊数啊。什么声音？哦，是莫莉睡着了。
