The Match And The Toy Men

火柴和玩具人

There was once a boy who had two naughty little toy men. One day, one of the little men saw a lovely box of matches in the kitchen, and took them - despite knowing that it wasn't a toy and could be dangerous.

从前有一个男孩，他有两个淘气的小玩具人。有一天，一个小玩具人在厨房里看到了一盒可爱的火柴，就把它们拿走了——尽管知道那不是玩具，可能很危险。

The two toy men took advantage of the boy's absent-mindedness, and quickly took a match and hid it in the car in which the boy usually put the men in to play. Later, the boy went to the playground with his car, but when he was there the end of the match stuck out of the car window and scraped against a stone. The match ignited and the car began to burn. Fortunately, the boy's mother was nearby and she managed to quickly put the fire out. However, they couldn't save the part of the car in which the two little men were sitting. They were burnt and partly melted onto the car seat.

两个淘气的小玩具人利用了男孩心不在焉的优势，迅速拿起一根火柴，把它藏在车里，男孩通常把两个淘气的小玩具人放进车里，和他们一块玩。后来，男孩开车去了操场，当他到那里的时候，火柴卡在了车窗外面，刮到了一块石头上，瞬间火柴被点燃了，汽车开始燃烧起来。幸运的是，男孩的母亲就在附近，她很快就把火扑灭了。然而，他们无法挽救两个小玩具人坐的部分，他们被烧焦了，部分融化在汽车座椅上。

Now they could never leave that car again. The boy got a real fright, and understood why his mother never let him play with matches and other dangerous things.

现在他们再也不能离开那辆车了。男孩吓了一跳，终于明白了为什么他妈妈从来不让他玩火柴和其他危险的东西。

And there they remained, trapped forever, those two little toy men. And now, whenever they see the boy about to do something dangerous, they try to get his attention, to warn him of what happens when we play with fire.

那两个小玩具人，他们在那里，永远被困。现在，每当他们看到男孩要做危险的事情时，他们就试图引起他的注意，提醒他当我们玩火时会发生什么。
