The Tortoise and the Hare
龟兔赛跑
The Hare was once boasting of his speed before other animals. "I have never been beaten," said he, "when I put forth my full speed. I challenge any one here to race with me."
从前有一只兔子,他在其它动物面前吹嘘自己跑得是如何如何的快。“当我全速奔跑的时候,我从来没有被打败过,他说,“谁敢跟我比一比?
The Tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge."
“我来跟你跑一场,一只乌龟沉着地说。
"That is a good joke," said the Hare; "I could dance round you all the way."
“快笑死我了, 兔子说,“我一边跑一边围着你跳舞都能赢你。
"Keep your boasting till you've won," answered the Tortoise. "Shall we race?"
“你跑赢了再吹牛吧,乌龟说,“我们可以开始比赛了吗?
So a course was fixed and a start was made. The Hare darted almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his contempt for the Tortoise, lay down to have a nap. The Tortoise plodded on and plodded on, and when the Hare awoke from his nap, he saw the Tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run up in time to save the race.
于是,他们确定了一条比赛路线和起点。比赛开始,兔子是嗖的一声就跑得没影了,但他很快就停了下来。 为了让乌龟知道他并没把乌龟放在眼里,兔子决定睡上一觉再接着跑。 这时,乌龟正一点一点艰难地向前爬着。 当兔子一觉醒来,发现乌龟离终点已经很近了,要追已经赶不上了。
Then the Tortoise said: "Slow but steady progress wins the race."
这时,乌龟说:“踏踏实实、一步步前进,你就会赢得比赛。
