D(2025·江苏宿迁期末)
One day in autumn，Squire Gordon，my master，went on a trip into town. John，my caretaker，went with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy，but we travelled happily.
Mr Gordon’s business took a long time. We didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind got much stronger. My master said to John，“I have never been out in such a storm!” Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain.
We came to a wooden bridge. It was nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out，my master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge，I felt sure there was something wrong. I dared(敢于) not go forward，and I made a dead stop. “Go on，Beauty，” said my master，and he gave me a touch with the whip(鞭子)，but I dared not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped，but I dared not go forward.
“There’s something wrong，sir，” said John，and he got out and tried to lead me forward. “Come on，Beauty.” But I knew that the bridge was not safe.
Just then the man on the other side saw us.
“Hey! Halloo! Stop!” he cried.
“What’s the matter?” shouted my master.
“The bridge is broken in the middle，and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it，you’ll be into the river.”
“Thank you for saving us，Beauty!” said John. He gently turned me onto the road on the right by the riverside. It grew darker and darker，stiller and stiller.
When we returned home，Mr Gordon told Mrs Gordon，“Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”
John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it，for I was tired.

### 文章翻译
秋天的一天，我的主人戈登乡绅进城去了。我的饲养员约翰和他一起去了。我拉着马车。天气风雨交加，但我们愉快地前行着。
戈登先生的事情花了很长时间。我们直到下午晚些时候才离开。风变得更大了。我的主人对约翰说：“我从来没在这么大的暴风雨里外出过！”戈登先生和约翰在雨中看不太清楚。
我们来到一座木桥前。天几乎黑了。我们只能看到水漫过了桥的中间部分。但因为洪水泛滥时这种情况有时会发生，我的主人没有停下来。我的脚一碰到桥的第一部分，我就确信出问题了。我不敢往前走，就猛地停了下来。“往前走，‘美人’（注：‘美人’是马的名字），”我的主人说，他用鞭子碰了我一下，但我不敢动。他狠狠地抽了我一鞭，我跳了起来，但我还是不敢往前走。
“先生，有点不对劲，”约翰说，他下了车，试图领着我往前走。“来吧，‘美人’。”但我知道那座桥不安全。
就在这时，桥另一边的人看到了我们。
“嘿！喂！停下！”他喊道。
“怎么了？”我的主人喊道。
“桥中间断了，一部分被冲走了。如果你们走上去，就会掉进河里。”
“‘美人’，谢谢你救了我们！”约翰说。他轻轻地把我转到河边右边的路上。天越来越黑，越来越静。
当我们回到家时，戈登先生告诉戈登太太：“‘黑美人’（注：‘黑美人’是马的名字）救了我们的命。它知道那座桥很危险。”
约翰把我带到马厩。哦！那天晚上他给我准备了多么丰盛的晚餐啊！多么好的一床稻草啊！我很高兴，因为我累了。
