The North Wind and the Sun

The North Wind and the Sun

北风与太阳

One fall day, the North Wind blew the clouds quickly across the sky. “ Look how fast I can blow the clouds! I am so strong! ” he bragged. “ What nonsense! ” said the Sun. “ I am much stronger than you! ” “ No, you are not! ”

秋天的一天，北风将云层迅速吹过天空。“看我吹云的速度有多快！我太强壮了！”他自夸道。 “胡说八道!太阳说。“我比你强壮多了!”“不，你不是!”

“ Yes, I am! ” They argued with one another. The North Wind saw a traveler walking on the road. He had an idea. “ Look! A traveler is coming this way. Let me prove how strong I am! I will force him to take off his coat, ” he said.

“是的，我是!”他们彼此争吵。 北风看见一个行人走在路上。他有个主意。“看！一个行人朝这边来了。 让我证明我有多坚强！我会强迫他脱下外套，”他说。

“ Ha-ha! You cannot! ” said the Sun. “ Just watch me! ” The North Wind blew and blew. Dust and leaves flew everywhere. “ Ohh! What a sudden wind! ” said the traveler. “ I need to button up my coat. ” “ Hmm! Okay, watch this! ” said the North Wind.

“哈哈!你不能!太阳说。 “看我的!”北风吹啊吹。尘土和树叶到处飞扬。 “哦!多么突然的风啊!行人说。“我需要系上外套的扣子。” “嗯!好吧,看这个!北风说。

Then he blew his hardest. But the traveler did not take off his coat. “ Brr! What a terrible day! I must pull up my collar, ” said the traveler. He held his collar tightly around his neck. The North Wind was out of breath and very tired.

然后他使出了最大的力气。但旅行者没有脱下外套。 “哼!”多么糟糕的一天!我必须把衣领竖起来，”旅行者说。他把衣领紧紧地套在脖子上。 北风气喘吁吁，非常疲倦。

“ Ha-ha! Look at you! ” said the Sun. “ Now, step aside. It is my turn. ” So the Sun smiled and held out her arms toward the traveler. “ Hmm, this is very strange weather! ” said the traveler. “ It’s getting warmer now. ”

“哈哈!看看你!太阳说。“现在，站到一边去。轮到我了。”于是，太阳微笑着向行人伸出了双臂。 “嗯，这天气真奇怪!”行人说。“现在越来越暖和了。”
