Every teacher in town got a copy. 全城的老师人手一份。
It hurt him terribly. 这把他伤得可惨了。
Then, one Sunday, 后来,有一个星期天,
as we were all walking out of town for a picnic, 我们大家正一起走到城外去野餐,
who should come flying past on bicycles but Kovalenko, 迎面骑着自行车飞驰而过的不是别人,正是柯瓦连科,
and behind him, Varenka, flushed and happy. 跟在他后头的瓦莲卡满脸通红,开心得不得了。

He stopped and stared at me. 他停下脚步,直勾勾地瞪着我。
'What is the meaning of this?' ‘这成何体统?’
he asked. 他质问道,
'Can a teacher and a young lady ride bicycles? ‘中学老师和年轻姑娘能骑自行车吗?
