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

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(shí)，空中飛來(lái)一只老鷹。老鷹一會(huì)兒像箭一般向地面俯沖，一會(huì)兒又筆直飛向藍(lán)天?！扒?，它飛得多自在呀！”弟弟羨慕地說(shuō)。

“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(zhǎng)上翅膀，該多好呀！”哥哥說(shuō)。

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(yǔ)。

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(niǎo)，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。

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(niǎo)，可高興啦！他們?cè)谛▲B(niǎo)的腿上系上繩子，讓它飛起來(lái)。他倆一邊追一邊觀察，看小鳥(niǎo)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(niǎo)停下來(lái)了，他們又把小鳥(niǎo)的翅膀翻來(lái)覆去，仔細(xì)觀察。他們還抓來(lái)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！
