Tiny Book Sold for Big Price

from News For Kids · host ICRT

Tiny Book Sold for Big Price Oh, hello. I'm reading a book. It's a really interesting story. But it's a big, heavy, and long book! It's taking a long time to finish. 我現在看的書又厚又重,已經看很久了。 I might try a shorter, smaller book next time. Not too small though. Not like a tiny book I heard about recently that's so small you can't even read it! 我聽說有一本書非常小,小到看不見寫什麼! Made in Germany, this book is just 5 millimeters by 5 millimeters. That's the size of the end of a pencil! 這本書是德國做的,長跟寬都只有5釐米,像鉛筆的筆尖那麼小! If you want to read it, you'll need a magnifying glass because the words are so small! 要用放大鏡才看得到字。 The book was recently sold for over 130,000 NT! Someone paid a lot of money for a teeny-tiny book that's really hard to read! Unbelievable! 有人用13萬台幣買了這本小小的書,真的很不可思議! Not only that, but if you put the book down for a second, it could be gone! It's so small you could easily lose it! 那麼小的書應該也很容易弄丟吧! I think I'll stick with my big book. Now, where was I? ________________________________ Vocabulary 一本書小到要用放大鏡才能閱讀,這有點辛苦。 1) Story 故事。 Toy Story is a fun story. 玩具總動員是很好玩的故事。 It's a story for children. 那是兒童故事。 I know, but I enjoy it too. 我知道,不過我也喜歡看。 2) Interesting 有趣的。 Many adults find children's books interesting. 很多成年人覺得童書很有趣。 You mean like the Harry Potter books? 你是指哈利波特那種書嗎? Yeah, don't you find them very interesting? 你不覺得它們十分有趣嗎? 3) Word 文字。 Those books are not easy. 那些書並不簡單。 You're right. There are many difficult words. 你說對了,它們有很多困難的字。 4) Tiny 很小的。 This is a really small hamburger. 這是個好小的漢堡。 Mine is tiny, too. 我的也很小。 It's only a mouthful. 只有一口就沒了。 Let's read the words together. story 故事 interesting 有趣的 word 文字 tiny 很小的 ________________________________ Quiz 1.
