【那些值得學(xué)習(xí)的表達(dá)】
The Littles liked Ping-pong, but the balls had a way of rolling under chairs, sofas, and radiators.
It was a great sight to see him come out from under a hot radiator, pushing a Ping-pong ball with all his might, the perspiration rolling down his cheeks.
The ball, of course, was almost as high as he was, and he had to throw his whole weight against it in order to keep it rolling.
Sometimes after a long session he would emerge quite deaf, as though he had just stepped out of an airplane after a long journey.
He was so very tiny and he presented so many problems to his parents.
It was decided that louse was the best substitute for mouse.
