One day when they are young,Aircraft Brothers go sightseeing in the countryside.小時候的一天，飛機(jī)兄弟倆一起到郊外游玩。

2

At this time,an eagle comes by.It now plunges to the ground as an arrow,now it flies straight to the sky. “Look,how freely it flies!”The younger brother says enviously.這時，空中飛來一只老鷹。老鷹一會兒像箭一般向地面俯沖，一會兒又筆直飛向藍(lán)天。“瞧，它飛得多自在呀！”弟弟羨慕地說。

“If we could have wings as the eagle,how happy we would be!”The elder brother says.“要是我們能和老鷹一樣長上翅膀，該多好呀！”哥哥說。

4

But how could they fly to the sky?It troubles the brothers.They both keep silent.可是，怎樣才能飛上天去呢？兄弟倆難住了，都沉默不語。

One day,the elder brother has an idea.“We can catch a bird and see how it flies.”The younger brother claps and cheers.So they prepare the slingshot and snare.一天，哥哥有了主意：“我們抓一只鳥，看它是怎樣飛的！”弟弟拍手叫好。于是，他們準(zhǔn)備好彈弓和網(wǎng)套。

6

They catch a bird and feel happy.They tie a string to its leg and let it fly.They follow and watch it.They try to find out how the bird flutters its wings.他們終于抓住了一只小鳥，可高興啦！他們在小鳥的腿上系上繩子，讓它飛起來。他倆一邊追一邊觀察，看小鳥的翅膀是怎樣拍打的。

When the bird stops,they watch its wings carefully.They also catch a dragonfly and watch its wings.小鳥停下來了，他們又把小鳥的翅膀翻來覆去，仔細(xì)觀察。他們還抓來蜻蜓，仔細(xì)研究蜻蜓的翅膀。

想知道他們是怎樣發(fā)明飛機(jī)的嗎？讓我們期待下一期吧！
