龟兔赛跑,是一则寓言故事。内容是兔子和乌龟赛跑,兔子嘲笑乌龟的步子爬的慢,但是他笑了,说总有一天他会和她赛跑,并且赢他。快点,兔子说,你很快会看到我是跑的多么的快。他们打算马上就开始比赛。乌龟拼命的爬,一刻都不停止,兔子认为比赛太轻松了,他说他先打个盹,然后很快的可以追上乌龟。同时乌龟坚持爬行,当兔子醒来跑到的时候只能看着乌龟在他前面到达终点。说明稳扎稳打终能胜利,只有天赋没有努力也是不会成功的。
The Rabbit and the Tortoise 龟兔赛跑
It is a bright spring morning. A Tortoise walks by and meets a Rabbit.
Tortoise: Hi there, Mr. Rabbit. Beautiful day, isnt it?
Rabbit: Arent you the Slow Tortoise?
The Tortoise is a little mad, but he doesnt show it. The Tortoise still tries to be nice to the Rabbit.
Tortoise: Yes, Im Mr. Tortoise. Im happy to meet you. Lets be friends.
Rabbit: No, thank you. I dont want to be your friend.
Tortoise: How come?
Rabbit: Your legs are too short. You cant jump. And you are too slow.
Tortoise: My legs may be short. And I may be slow. But I can still beat you in a race.
Rabbit: Ha!Ha!Ha! Thats funny! How can you beat me? I am much faster.
Tortoise: I can beat you for sure.
Rabbit: No, you cant!
Tortoise: Yes, I can!
Rabbit: No, you cant!
Tortoise: Yes, I can! Lets have a race now. Then youll see.
Rabbit: Now? Okay! Why not? I will win for sure.
Tortoise: Lets make a bet. If I win, you must carry me on your back.
Rabbit: I promise. But if I win, you must carry me.
Tortoise: Fine.
The other animals in the forest hear about the race and gather to see the Tortoise and the Rabbit run. The race is about to start.
Tortoise: See the mountain top?
Rabbit: Yes.
Tortoise: The first one to reach there, wins. Okay?
Rabbit: Okay.
The Fox is the starter.
Fox: Stand behind this line. Are you both ready?
Tortoise: Yes
Rabbit: Me too.
Fox: Okay. Ill start the race. One! Two! Three! Go!
The Fox drops the white handkerchief and the race starts.The Rabbit is very fast and is already way ahead. The tortoise walks very slowly. The other animals are all cheering for the Tortoise. The Fox is worried about the Tortoise.
Fox: Poor Mr. Tortoise. He will lose for sure.
Goat: How do you know? Maybe he will win.
The Rabbit is already half way up the mountain. He is out of breath. He stops to look behind.
Rabbit: Where is the Tortoise? I cant even see him. He is too slow for me. This is too easy.
The Rabbit decides to take a nap before the Tortoise comes.
Rabbit: I am a little tired. And I have a lot of time. So, I will take a nap here.
The Rabbit takes a nap. Even though the Tortoise is still far behind, he doesnt stop or give up. He just walks and walks and walks.
Tortoise: I am tired, but I must go on. I must win the race. One, two. One, two.
The Rabbit falls asleep and continues to sleep for hours. The Tortoise is now at the middle of the mountain. He sees the Rabbit sleeping.
Tortoise: Its Mr. Rabbit! Why is he sleeping here? He must be very tired. I am tired, too. But I must go on. One, two. One, two.
The mountain top is not too far away. The Tortoise is almost at the finish line. All the other animals are surprised.
Goat: Look! Its the Tortoise!
Fox: Wheres the Rabbit?
Goat: Who knows? Come on, Mr. Tortoise! Go! Go! Go!
The tortoise takes one step, and another step, and another.
Tortoise: One, two. One, two. Im almost there.
Just then, the Rabbit wakes up from his nap and is surprised. He realizes that he has slept too long. He sees the Tortoise near the mountain top. He runs, and runs, and runs, but its no use.
Rabbit: Faster! Faster! I must run faster!
Finally, the Tortoise reaches the mountain top first and wins the race.
Goat: Hooray! Hooray for Mr. Tortoise!
Fox: Congratulations, Mr. Tortoise! You won the race!
Tortoise: Thank you, thank you, everyone!
The Rabbit is too late. He feels ashamed.
Rabbit: Oh, no! I lost. Now I have to carry the Tortoise on my back.
The Rabbit goes to shake hands with the Tortoise.
Rabbit: Good race. Congratulations, Mr. Tortoise. You won the race.
Tortoise: I told you, I would win.
Rabbit: But how did you do it?
Tortoise: It wasnt too hard. Just take one step after another. It may be slow, but you will get there for sure.
Rabbit: OhNow, I will keep my promise. Climb up on my back.
Tortoise: Thats okay. Lets just be friends.
