The Tortoise and the Hare

龟兔赛跑

Every day, the tortoise took a walk around the lake. He enjoyed walking very much. While walking one day, the tortoise heard a sound like the wind. A hare rushed by and the tortoise fell over on his back. ”Ha-ha! What are you doing here?”teased the hare.

每天，乌龟都在湖边散步。他非常喜欢散步。 一天，乌龟在散步时听到一阵像风声的声音。一只兔子冲过去，乌龟仰面摔倒了。 哈哈！你在这里干什么？”兔子取笑道。

“You should be careful of others on the road,” scolded the tortoise. “Slowpokes shouldn’t be on the road,” said the hare. A fox walked by. He helped the tortoise turn over.

“你在路上应该小心别人，”乌龟责备道。 “慢吞吞的家伙不应该在路上，”兔子说。 一只狐狸走过。他帮助乌龟翻身。

“What are you two talking about?” asked the fox. “I think that slow walkers shouldn’t use the road. Don’t you agree, Fox?” asked the hare. “The road is for everyone,” said the fox. “I’ll tell you what,” challenged the hare.

“你们俩在说什么?”狐狸问。 “我认为走路慢的人不应该走这条路。你同意吗，狐狸?兔子问。 “这条路是属于每个人的。”狐狸说。“我告诉你，”兔子挑战道。

“Let’s have a race. The winner decides who can stay on the road and who can’t.” “You’re on,” agreed the tortoise. “Let’s race!” They decided to race to the other side of the forest. The fox agreed to be the judge.

“我们来赛跑吧。胜利者决定谁能继续上路，谁不能。” “你来吧。”乌龟同意道。“我们比赛!” 他们决定赛跑到森林的另一边。狐狸同意当裁判。

The next day, all of the animals gathered in a crowd to watch. “It’s not too late to stop the race,” whispered the hare to the tortoise. “It’s obvious who is going to win.” “On your mark, get set, go!” yelled the fox. The hare ran ahead of the tortoise.

第二天，所有的动物聚集在一起观看。 “现在停止比赛还不晚，”兔子小声对乌龟说。“谁会赢是显而易见的。” “各就各位，预备，走!”狐狸喊道。兔子跑在乌龟前面。
