【故事】64. The Noisy Neighbors

64. The Noisy Neighbors 吵闹的邻居 Jack Miller was angry at his neighbors. "They are so inconsiderate!" he said. These neighbors were very loud. They owned three dogs, two birds, and one goat. None of these animals ever shut up. Even more, they loved playing music all day. Jack would not mind this. However, his neighbors played it loud enough for the whole block to hear. "It wouldn't be so bad, if their music wasn't terrible," said Jack. 杰克米勒对他的邻居很生气。他说，“他们太不替他人着想了！”这些邻居很吵。他们有三条狗、两只鸟，还有一头羊，这些动物从不闭嘴。不仅如此，他们还喜欢整天放音乐。杰克并不在意这个，但是他的邻居放音乐的声音整栋楼都能听到。杰克说，“如果他们的音乐没有这么烂，就还不会这么糟糕。” Luckily, these neighbors soon moved out. Jack couldn't be happier. He would finally enjoy peace and quiet. Unfortunately, the new neighbors arrived with a baby. This baby cried just as loud as all the other things put together. 幸运的是，这些邻居很快就搬走了。杰克高兴坏了，他终于能够享受平静和安宁了。不幸的是，新来的邻居有一个婴儿，那个婴儿的哭声跟其他所有声音加起来的音量一样大。
