A country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head,when she fell into the following train of reflections."The money for which I shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred,These eggs,allowing for what may prove addle,and what may be destroyed by vermin,will produce at least two hundred and fifty chickens.The chickens will be fit to carry to market just at the time when poultry is always dear;so that by the new year I cannot fail of having money enough to purchase a new gown.Green-let me consider-yes,green becomes my complexion best .and green it shall be, In this dress I will go to the fair,where all young fellows will strive to have me for a parter;but no-I shall refuse every one of them,and with a disdainful toss turn from them."
Transported with this idea,she could not forbear acting with her head the thought that passed in her mind,when down came the can of milk!And all her imaginary happiness vanished in a moment.

A country maid was walking along with a can of milk upon her head,一个村姑头上顶着一罐牛奶走过，when she fell into the following train of reflections.她不禁翩翩联想起来"The money for which I shall sell this milk will enable me to increase my stock of eggs to three hundred,如果我卖掉这罐牛奶，拿那个钱去买鸡蛋，那么，我就可以凑够300鸡蛋了。These eggs,allowing for what may prove addle,and what may be destroyed by vermin,除去腐坏的和被损坏的，will produce at least two hundred and fifty chickens.可以孵出至少250只小鸡，The chickens will be fit to carry to market just at the time when poultry is always dear;小鸡将被喂养长大带到有需求的市场去卖so that by the new year I cannot fail of having money enough to purchase a new gown.这么来新年到的时候我肯定拥有足够的钱去买我喜欢的那件袍子，Green绿色的。-let me consider让我想想，是的，-yes,green becomes my complexion best .绿色是我的最爱。and green it shall be,就是那件绿色的啦， In this dress I will go to the fair,我要穿着这件漂亮的袍子去聚会，where all young fellows will strive to have me for a parter;所有的年轻英俊的小伙都会邀请我做舞伴的。but no-I shall refuse every one of them,and with a disdainful toss turn from them."但是，不，我那时候应该高傲的拒绝所有的人，
Transported with this idea,在这翩翩的美妙联想中，she could not forbear acting with her head the thought that passed in her mind,她不禁地摇起她的头来，when down came the can of milk!那罐牛奶掉到了地下。And all her imaginary happiness vanished in a moment.此刻所有的美妙遐想都随着泼掉的牛奶而灰飞烟灭了。
