The Greatest Bridegroom

The Greatest Bridegroom

最伟大的新郎

Long, long ago, a mole couple’s daughter, Mollie, was ready to marry. In the mole village, Moler was the best available bridegroom. However, Father Mole and Mother Mole were not satisfied with him. “ Isn’t there a better bridegroom?” asked Mollie’s mother. “ Our Mollie must marry the greatest bridegroom, ” said her father.

很久很久以前，一对鼹鼠夫妇的女儿莫利准备结婚。在鼹鼠村，摩尔是最好的新郎。 然而，鼹鼠爸爸和鼹鼠妈妈对他并不满意。 “没有更好的新郎吗?”莫利的母亲问。 “我们的莫丽必须嫁给最伟大的新郎，”她的父亲说。

Father Mole and Mother Mole discussed the matter. “ Who do you think is the greatest of all?” Father wondered aloud. “ I think the sun is the greatest, ” Mother answered. Father Mole went to the sun.

鼹鼠爸爸和鼹鼠妈妈讨论了这件事。“你认为谁是最伟大的？”父亲大声地问道。 “我认为太阳是最伟大的，”妈妈回答说。 鼹鼠爸爸向太阳走去。

” Gosh! It’s so hot! Sun, are you the greatest of all?” he asked. “ No, I’m not. When the cloud comes and covers me, I can’t even show my face. The cloud is the greatest, ” the sun replied. “ Oh, I see. Thank you. ” Father Mole went to see the cloud. “ Oh my, it’s so dark!

天哪！天气真热！太阳，你是最伟大的吗？”他问。 “不，我不是。当云来遮盖我的时候，我甚至不能露出我的脸。云是最大的。”太阳回答说。 “哦，我明白了。谢谢你。” 鼹鼠爸爸去看云。“哦，天哪，太黑了!”

Cloud, are you the greatest of all?” he asked. “ No, I’m not. When the wind comes, I’m blown away in seconds. The wind is the greatest, ” replied the cloud. “ Oh, I see. Thank you. ” Father Mole went to see the wind. “ Oh my, I’m about to be blown away! Wind, you are the greatest of all, right?” he asked hopefully.

云，你是最伟大的吗？”他问。 “不，我不是。当风来的时候，我在几秒钟内就被吹走了。风是最大的，”云回答说。 “哦，我明白了。谢谢你。” 鼹鼠爸爸去看风了。“哦，天哪，我要被吹走了!” 风，你是最伟大的，对吧？”他满怀希望地问道。

“ No, I’m not. There is someone who doesn’t blow away even when I blow my hardest, ” said the wind. “ Is that true?” asked Father Mole. “ Mr. Mole, if you are looking for thegreatest, go to the Buddha statue, ” advised the wind.

“不，我不是。风说:“有一个人，即使在我最用力地吹的时候，他也没有被吹走。” “真的吗?”鼹鼠爸爸问。 “鼹鼠先生，如果你要找最伟大的，就去佛像那儿吧。”风劝道。
