  The hare and the tortoise

  The hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. "I have never been beaten," he said, "when I run at full speed, no one is faster than me."

  The tortoise said quietly, "I will race with you." "That is a good joke," said the hare. "I could dance around you the whole way."

  The race started. The hare darted almost out of sight at once. He soon stopped and lay down to have a nap.

  The tortoise plodded on and on. When the hare awoke from his nap, he saw the tortoise was near the finish line, and that he had lost the race.

  龜兔賽跑

  兔子向動物們誇耀他的速度,“我從來沒有失敗過,”他說,“當我奔跑時,沒有人比我更快。”

  烏龜平靜地說:“我要與你比賽。”“真是笑話,我可以邊玩邊和你賽跑。”兔子說。

  比賽開始了,一眨眼工夫,兔子已經跑得不見了蹤影,但是他覺得自己跑得快,對比賽掉以輕心,躺在路邊睡著了。

  烏龜慢騰騰地卻持續不停地走,當兔子一覺醒來,他看到烏龜已經快到終點線了。兔子輸了比賽。

  寓意: 驕兵必敗;只有持之以恆,才能實現目標

  It is a bright spring morning. A Tortoise walks by and meets a Rabbit.

  Tortoise: Hi there, Mr. Rabbit. Beautiful day, isn’t it?

  Rabbit: Aren’t you “the Slow Tortoise”?

  The Tortoise is a little mad, but he doesn’t show it. The Tortoise still tries to be nice to the Rabbit.

  Tortoise: Yes, I’m Mr. Tortoise. I’m happy to meet you. Let’s be friends.

  Rabbit: No, thank you. I don’t want to be your friend.

  Tortoise: How come?

  Rabbit: Your legs are too short. You can’t 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! That’s funny! How can you beat me? I am much faster.

  Tortoise: I can beat you for sure.

  Rabbit: No, you can’t!

  Tortoise: Yes, I can!

  Rabbit: No, you can’t!

  Tortoise: Yes, I can! Let’s have a race now. Then you’ll see.

  Rabbit: Now? Okay! Why not? I will win for sure.

  Tortoise: Let’s 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. I’ll 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 can’t 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 doesn’t 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: It’s 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! It’s the Tortoise!

  Fox: Where’s 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. I’m 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 it’s 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 wasn’t too hard. Just take one step after another. It may be slow, but you will get there for sure.

  Rabbit: Oh…Now, I will keep my promise. Climb up on my back.

  Tortoise: That’s okay. Let’s just be friends.

  MORAL

  Talent is of no use without effort.

  版本3

  There once was a speedy Hare who bragged about how fast he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, the Tortoise challenged him to a race. All the animals in the forest gathered to watch.

  從前有一隻兔子到處炫耀自己跑的有多快。厭倦了兔子的吹牛皮,一隻叫做穩紮穩打的烏龜,於是向兔子發出了挑戰——賽跑比賽。森林裡的動物們都集中起來觀看比賽。

  The Hare ran down the road for a while and then and paused to rest. He looked back at the tortoise and cried out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"

  兔子帶頭衝出,沿路跑了一會就停下來休息。回頭看看穩紮穩打還在後面緩緩爬著,兔子大聲喊道:“你爬的這麼慢,怎麼指望贏得這場比賽?”

  The Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax."

  兔子得意的伸伸懶腰,靠著路邊睡著了,心裡想著:“我可以有足夠的時間休息。”

  The Tortoise walked and walked; never ever stopping until he came to the finish line.

  就這樣,穩紮穩打一直爬啊爬,直到它到達終點。

  The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise, that they woke up Hare. The Hare stretched and yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise was already over the line.

  醒來的兔子伸伸懶腰,打個哈氣,繼續它的比賽。但是,已經太遲了。這時的烏龜已經到達了終點。

  MORAL: SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE

  語言:循序漸進才能贏得比賽。
