Ebenezer. Their father has a big property. In Australia they call a farm a property.

　　罗伯特九岁，乔安娜七。他们住在埃比尼泽山。他们的父亲有一个大的财产。在澳大利亚他们称农场的财产。

　　Robert and Joanna like school very much. At school they can talk to their friends but Robert and Joanna cannot see their friends. They live 100, perhaps 300, miles away and like Robert and Joanna, they all go to school by radio.

　　罗伯特和乔安娜非常喜欢学校。他们在学校可以和他们的朋友，但罗伯特和乔安娜不能看到自己的朋友。他们住在100，也许300，千里之外，像罗伯特和乔安娜，他们都去学校的广播。

　　Mount Ebenezer is in the centre of Australia. Not many people live in “The Centre”. There are no schools with desks and blackboards and no teachers in “The Centre”. School is a room at home with a two-way radio. The teacher also has a two-way radio. Every morning she calls each student on the radio. When all students answer, lessons begin… Think of your teacher 300 miles away!

　　埃比尼泽山在澳大利亚的中心。没有多少人生活在“中心”。有没有学校的课桌、黑板和“中心没有老师”。学校是在家里的房间与双向无线电。老师也有一个双向无线电。每天早上，她呼吁电台每个学生。当所有的学生回答，上课……觉得你的老师300英里远!
