新概念英语－课文
Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time.
Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool.
I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!

乔.桑德斯拥有我们镇上最漂亮的花园。几乎每个人都参加每年举办的“最佳花园竞赛”，而每次都是乔获胜。
比尔.弗里斯的花园比乔的花园大，他比乔也更为勤奋，种植的花卉和蔬菜也更多，但乔的花园更富有情趣。他修筑了一条条整洁的小路，并在一个池塘上架了一座小木桥。
我也喜欢花园，但我却不愿意辛勤劳动。每年的花园竞赛我也参加，但总因是镇上最劣的花园而获得一个小奖！
小编笔记：
看到这篇文章，实在让我忍俊不禁，不由得想起在 《唐顿庄园》 里的那段类似竞赛的小插曲， 公爵夫人（伯爵的母亲）惯例都是拿奖杯的， 但是这一次， 她因为马修母亲的劝解， 主动把内定给她的奖杯授予了善于研发玫瑰花的莫尼斯先生。
本文的主要语法现象是“比较级”，文中出现多次比较级的词语，例如：the best , the worst, the most beautiful, the Nicest, be larger than, works harder than, grows more flowers, be more interesting, the worst garden
