The fence that he had to whitewash was nine feet high and thirty yards broad. Ben Rogers arrived, who was eating an apple, for which Tom’s mouth watered. But he kept on painting like an artist. Ben looked at Tom for a moment and said, “You are in trouble, aren’t you” Tom made no answer. He studied and observed his work like an artist. He would gently sweep his brush here and there and examine his work. Ben asked Tom if he has got work to do. Tom turned around, “Oh, it’s you, BenI did not notice. ” Ben made fun of Tom, saying that he would go swimming while Tom had work - 1 - to do. “Well, I don’t see why I should not like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every dayWhitewashing is difficult and unique. No other boy can do it well except me. ” Ben stopped eating his apple out of surprise as Tom continued to sweep his brush like an artist. “Tom, let me whitewash a little. ” Tom hesitated and said that Aunt Polly, who was very particular about the fence required the work should be done carefully. He also saidthat there was hardly any boy in a thousand or two thousand who could do it in the right way. Ben offered half of his apple for the chance to have a try but Tom didn’t change his mind. Finally, Ben offered his entire apple and promised to do the work carefully. Finally, Tom gave away his brush and comfortably sat on a barrel eating the apple as Ben did the work in the heat of sun. Other boys came along. The same trick worked again and again. By the time Ben was tired, Tom had promised a chance to Billy Fisher in exchange for a kite. By the middle of the afternoon, Tom had got twelve marbles, a piece of blue bottle-glass to look through, a key that wouldn’t unlock anything, a piece of chalk, a tin soldier, and six fire-crackers. The fence which had got three coats of whitewash on it looked magnificentHe would have got the opportunity to take away the possessions of all the other boys in the village if the paint had not been used up. 【文章大意】文章选自汤姆索亚历险记 。节选片段描写了 Tom 运用自己的 - 2 - 聪明才智, 让几乎全村的男孩帮他刷篱笆的有趣一幕。 1.
