The Hare and the Tortoise

新龟兔赛跑

Hare and Tortoise had a race.

兔子和乌龟进行了一场赛跑。

Although Hare ran much faster, he lost the race because he stopped halfway and slept for a long time. Hare was angry with himself. He asked for a rematch with Tortoise.

虽然兔子跑得比乌龟快，但他还是输了比赛。因为他跑到中途就停了下来，还睡了很长时间。 兔子很生自己的气。 他要求和乌龟再比一场。

"I'll run at full speed this time, and I will not sleep halfway!" he thought. "I don't think the hare is going to sleep during the race this time," Tortoise thought. "How can I win again?"

“这次我要全速奔跑，决不中途睡觉！”兔子想。 “我觉得这次比赛兔子是不会睡觉了。”乌龟想， “我怎么才能再赢比赛呢？”

Then he had a good idea. He said, "I'll race you if you agree to let me choose the route." Hare agreed, "I will beat you no matter which route you choose."

接着，乌龟想到了一个好主意。 他说：“如果你同意让我选择比赛路线，我就和你比。” 兔子同意了，“无论你选择哪条路线，这次我都会打败你。”

The day of the race came. Hare took off and ran at top speed. Tortoise crawled slowly behind. Soon Hare came to a broad river. The finish line was far away on the other side.

比赛的日子到了。 兔子出发后全速奔跑。 乌龟在后面慢慢地爬。 不久，兔子跑到了一条宽阔的河边。 终点线远在河的另一边。
