夏初的時光2022-01-13 19:28:59一、猴子和漁夫 The Monkey and the Fishermen
Once upon a time， there lived a monkey in the woods。 The monkey climbed up the tree and looked down at the river everyday。
從前，樹林裡有一隻猴子。每天猴子都會爬上樹看下面的小河。
One day， the monkey saw fishermen throw a net over the river。 He watched how the fishermen caught fish。
一天，猴子看見漁夫在河上扔了一個網。他看著漁夫怎麼捕魚。
Sometime after， the fishermen left the net and went to have lunch。 Then， the monkey climbed down from the tree and went to the riverside。 The monkey was planning to throw the net like the fishermen did。
過了一會後，漁民把網放下後吃午飯去了。然後，猴子迅速從樹上爬下來跑到河邊。猴子模仿漁民的樣子撒網。
The monkey was confident since he was good at imitating。 Yet， the net wound around the monkey when he touched it。 Tied up in the net， the monkey fell into the water。
猴子很自信，因為他擅長模仿。但是當猴子抓網的時候網口正好衝著它。於是猴子緊緊地抓著網，掉進了水裡。
The monkey regretted his behavior， but it was too late。 “I should have learned how to use the net before touching it。 After believing my prowess and showing off， I am in a bad fix。” The monkey who did not behave carefully drowned in the water。
猴子對自己的行為感到很後悔，但為時已晚。“我應該學會撒網後再碰網的。過於相信自己的能力，才落得如此下場。”最後猴子被淹死了。
二。灰姑娘 Cinderella
The clock began to strike twelve。 The startled Cinderella ran out of the ballroom。 She left the ball so quickly that she lost one of her glass slippers。 As soon as she came out of the palace the spell was broken。 Cinderella went back home with one of her glass slippers。
這時，時鐘開始指向十二點。嚇得灰姑娘趕忙跑出晚會大廳。她跑得飛快，不小心丟了一隻玻璃鞋。當她從宮殿裡出來時，身上的魔法慢慢消失。最後灰姑娘只帶著一隻玻璃鞋回家了。
The prince could not forget the girl who left the ball so quickly。 So， the prince searched house by house to find the girl who would fit the glass slipper。 However， there was no girl who was able to fit the glass slipper。 Finally， he came to Cinderella‘s house。
王子對那位消失在晚會的女孩念念不忘。於是，王子開始尋找能穿上玻璃鞋的女孩。但是，那麼多女孩卻沒有一個能夠穿上玻璃鞋。最後，他來到了灰姑娘家。
The stepsisters fought over the glass slipper and tried it on。 Both had big feet and did not fit the shoe。 The prince was very disappointed。
姐姐們爭先恐後地試穿玻璃鞋。但是兩人的腳太大穿不上鞋子。王子很失望。
“I will try on the glass slipper。” Cinderella tried on the glass slipper。 The shoe fit her perfectly。 Cinderella took out the other glass slipper to put it on， “Ah！ It was you。” The prince and Cinderella went back to the palace and lived happily ever after。
“我來試試吧，”灰姑娘試穿了下玻璃鞋。鞋的尺寸剛剛好。灰姑娘拿出另一隻玻璃鞋穿上，“啊！原來是你。”王子帶著灰姑娘回到了宮殿，從此過著幸福的生活。”
三。給貓系鈴鐺 Belling the Cat
All the mice met together in a council against a fierce cat。 “We cannot live because of the cat。 There must be some ideas to get rid of it。” “Please tell us your ideas。”
所有的老鼠聚在一起商量著如何對付兇猛的貓。“只要那隻貓在，我們就難以生存。一定有什麼辦法可以制住它。”“說說你的想法吧。”
But despite the enthusiastic discussion， they were unable to come up with a good idea。 The oldest mouse advised the other mice， “It would be nice if someone let us know when the cat is coming。” Having no good ideas， they were just studying each other’s facial expressions。
雖然討論很激烈，但是仍然沒人想出好主意。最老的老鼠建議說，“要是貓靠近的時候有人告訴我們就好了。”沒有任何好辦法，老鼠們面面相覷。
At that time， the youngest mouse confidently said， “If we tie a bell around the cat‘s neck， we will know when the cat is approaching so we can run away。” Everyone agreed to the young mouse’s opinion。
就在這時，一隻小老鼠滿懷信心地說：“如果我們在貓脖子上繫個鈴鐺，就知道貓什麼時候來了，這樣我們就可以逃跑了。”老鼠們都同意這個好主意。
Then， the leader mouse replied， “That is a good idea。 If we tie a bell to the cat， we will be able to run away in advance。 But， who is going to tie a bell to the cat？”
然後領頭的老鼠說：“這倒是一個好主意。如果把鈴鐺系在貓身上，我們就可以提前逃命了。但是，誰敢給貓系鈴鐺呢？”
After hearing the leader， all the mice became quiet。 No one wanted to tie a bell to the cat。 The young mouse that offered the idea slowly read the others‘ faces and left the meeting。
領頭的老鼠說完，所有的老鼠都不說話了。沒人敢把鈴鐺系在貓脖子上。提出這個主意的那隻小老鼠看到別人的表情，悄悄地離開了。
