The Grasshopper and the Ant

The Grasshopper and the Ant

蚱蜢和蚂蚁

Once upon a time, there was a grasshopper who lived in the forest. He enjoyed lying in the grass and singing songs. “ La! - la-la Ah! What a beautiful day! ” One fine day, some ants marched by the grasshopper. The ants stopped to rest nearby. “ Hey, you guys! What’s up?” “ We are gathering food. Whew! What a hot day! ”

从前，有一只蚱蜢住在森林里。他喜欢躺在草地上唱歌。 “拉!-啦啦啊!多好的天气啊!” 一个晴朗的日子，一些蚂蚁从蚱蜢身边走过。蚂蚁停下来在附近休息。 “嘿，伙计们!”有什么事吗?”“我们在收集食物。唷!多热的天啊!”

“ A hot day, indeed! ” “ You ants are foolish! It is too hot to work. Come and enjoy the cool grass with me. ” “ But we have to prepare for winter. ” “ Winter? Winter is months away. We have plenty of time to relax and have fun! Prepare for the winter another day. ” “ But we need to prepare now. Winter will come sooner than you think. ”

“真是个大热天!”“你们这些蚂蚁真愚蠢!”天气太热，不能工作。来和我一起享受凉爽的草地吧。” “但我们必须为冬天做准备。” “冬天?冬天还有好几个月呢。我们有足够的时间放松和玩!准备过冬的另一天。 “但我们现在需要做好准备。冬天会比你想象的来得更快。”

“ Yes, we don’t have much time. ” “ You are so foolish! Prepare for winter when it comes. ” Then, the ants left carrying their food. The grasshopper was not worried. He had picked enough leaves to last him all day. “ I have enough food for tonight . Why should I worry about tomorrow? I can pick some more leaves then. ”

“是的，我们没有多少时间了。”“你真傻!”当冬天来临时，做好准备。” 然后，蚂蚁带着食物离开了。蚱蜢并不担心。他摘了足够的叶子，可以撑一整天。 “今晚我有足够的食物。我为什么要担心明天?我可以多摘一些叶子。”

So everyday, the grasshopper sang songs and rested in the cool grass. Then, fall arrived. The ants were busier than before. “ Hey, you guys! Why don’t you come and play with me?” “ We do not have time to play. ” ” Sure you do. ” “ No, winter will come soon! ”

所以每天，蚱蜢都会唱歌，在凉爽的草地上休息。 然后，秋天来了。蚂蚁比以前更忙了。 “嘿，伙计们!”你为什么不来和我一起玩呢?”“我们没有时间玩。” “当然可以。”“不，冬天马上就要来了！”

“ Silly Ant! Winter is still far away! ” The grasshopper just sang and sang . When he became hungry, he picked some leaves and ate them. But one day the grasshopper came out of his house and found, to his surprise, the earth was covered in cold, white snow. “ Brrr! It is very cold outside. Now, it is time to gather some food for the winter. ”

“愚蠢的蚂蚁!冬天还远着呢!”蚱蜢只是唱啊唱。当他饿了的时候，他就摘一些叶子吃了。 但是有一天，蚱蜢从他的房子里出来，惊讶地发现，地上覆盖着冰冷的白雪。 “嗬!”外面很冷。现在，是时候为冬天收集一些食物了。”
