from one school child to the next and illustrates the further difference           (1)

between shcool lore and nursery lore. In nursery lore a verse, learnt            

in early childhood, is not usually passed on again when the little listener       (2)

has grown up, and has children of their own, or even grandchildren.             (3)

It may be something from twenty to seventy years. With the playground        (4)

lore, therefore, a rhyme may be excitedly passed on whtin the very hour      (5)

it is learnt; and in the general, it passes between children of the                    (6)

between playmates to be more than five years. If therefore, a playground

 (1)illustrate改为illustrated（与前文的shown保持一致）

 (3)their改为his（代词与前文a little listener在单复数上保持一致）
 (4)something 改为anything（这里anything from...to...表示大约在...之间）
 (5)therefore改为however （根据上下文逻辑关系）
 (6) in the general去掉the （习惯用法in general 表示总的来说，一般不用冠词）
 (7) currently 改为current （这里起的是表语的作用，需要形容词而不是副词）
 (8) it has passed改为 it has been passed （主动改为被动，与前文保持一致）
 (9) live 改为 alive （live作形容词讲为“现场直播的”意思，这样显示需要用alive)
 (10) to let alone改为 let alone (let alone 为习惯搭配，意思是“更不用说”前面不需要加to)
