有一天,爸爸和儿子决定去公园好好享受(delete那天的)清新的空气)。In Chinese, it is kind of awkward to use two “of 的” to describe a noun. You could express your thoughts like this instead: 一天,爸爸和儿子决定去公园好好享受父子时光,以及那里清新的空气/呼吸清新的空气。
他们俩那时候是正沿着官方的小径溜溜达达的溜达。还没闲逛多长时间,儿子突然发现了在一棵旁边的路旁的小树上挂着一个看起来非常好吃informal非常诱人formal的苹果。
沿着小径溜达没多久,儿子突然发现路旁的小树上挂着一只非常诱人的苹果。
爸爸一看到就感觉饿得不得了,所以下了决心把苹果拿下来。
爸爸,结实敦实的人,先用着大力用尽全力摇动晃树可没成。
“摇动”indicates a condition that the tree is moving by someone, and “摇晃”is the verb for “the father” in this story.
Leah has already talked about the words “结实、敦实”“没成”, and what I wanna emphasis here is that in Chinese, we don’t usually use this sentence structure except for introduction of a person with multiple positions or accomplishments.
爸爸用尽全力摇晃果树,(试图把苹果摇下来)。虽然他非常敦实,却没有成功。
儿子接着想出来了另外一个方法。他先在地上找了找合适的根树枝,然后把根树枝扔往苹果去向苹果扔去。
儿子没想到的却是他扔的树枝落的地方不是苹果而是爸爸的秃头。
没想到的是,树枝不但没有碰到苹果,落下来时还砸到了爸爸的秃头!
(the son didn’t want the branch to fall on the apple”落在苹果上” but to reach the apple and let it fall on the ground. Unfortunately, the branch didn’t even touch”碰到“ the apple.
“砸到” means the branch hit the father’s bald head. )
很痛。爸爸因为肚子里的饿越来越厉害了肚子饿得越来越厉害了,于是决定爬树了。可是因为他体重不小轻这个法子可真有点危险(那棵树很快就开始曲刑弯曲了),最后也还是够不到苹果了。但爸爸还不愿意放弃这个殷红红彤彤的苹果。所以他脱了一个只鞋子,然后跟儿子一样瞄准苹果。真倒霉:不仅又不到没够到苹果了而且鞋子现在也卡在树冠里了。儿子合不拢嘴地看爸爸尽力试把鞋子拿下来(it would be better to rearrange the sentence like this: 看着老爸费力够鞋子的样子,儿子笑得合不拢嘴)。“费力”means that someone is trying to accomplish a task that is a little bit beyond his capability, and that he probably looks clumsy and funny during the process, but he may succeed.
爸爸好不容易取回了他的鞋子,心里已经受不了了/better:再也经不起任何打击(,不愿再试/决定放弃)了。于是他们俩最后去找超市买苹果了。结果,因为这个下午他们俩一直在活动,爸爸的胃口比一般还好多了平时还要好。另外,对儿子来说今天跟爸爸出去玩非常有意思。他盯着爸爸吃了5个苹果时,心里已经在想怎么说服爸爸下次再来这个公园。对了,差点忘了:爸爸和儿子刚离这棵苹果树走了20米,苹果自动和自己就安安静静地落下地上了落下来了/落到地上了
