村里人把火柴叫作“洋火”。我们一进学堂,李老师就给我们讲,中国古代有四大发明,非常伟大,火药就是其中的伟大发明之一,可是我们问李老师,明明是中国人发明的火药,怎么粘在小木棍上就成了“洋火”了呢?李老师吁吁地吸着牙——这是他遇到麻烦或怪事情的习惯动作——说,他也弄不懂这个“洋”字怎么冒出来的。接着,李老师宣布了一个同样伟大的决定:“火柴就是火柴,不准叫什么‘洋火’!” Village people call the match “foreign fire ”. When we entered the school, Teacher Li told us that there are four great inventions in ancient China. Gunpowder is one of the great inventions. However, we asked Mr. Li what the Chinese invented gunpowder was and how it stuck to the small wooden sticks Became a “foreign fire” it? Teacher Li suctioned teeth - this is his habit of running into trouble or strange things - that he did not understand this “foreign ” word how Come out Then, Teacher Li announced the same great decision: “A match is a match, and no one is allowed to call it a foreign fire!”
