经典英语绕口令 Tongue twister

Then Paul was galled by a falling wall. Then I felt a pall of darkness covering all. From then on, I became a thrall to horror beyond recall. I wish no mishap had ever befallen us at all.

很喜欢这首，场面非常生动！三只丢了手套的小猫和猫妈妈的对话趣味盎然，让我们忍俊不禁。作为妈妈，这样的场景真是太熟悉了，我们不也曾和自己的孩子说过相似的话么？作为女儿，这样的场景也是熟悉的，孩提时代，我们和自己的妈妈不也有过这样的对话么？对了，pie是一种烘制出来的甜馅饼，常见的风味有：苹果的、樱桃的、坚果的、红薯的、南瓜的等等，在西餐中通常作为餐后甜点。
Three little kittens,
They lost their mittens,
And they began to cry,
"Oh, mother dear,
We sadly fear
That we have lost our mittens!"
"What! Lost your mittens,
You naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie,
Mee-ow, mee-ow,
You shall have no pie."
