Slower Than a Turtle

Slower Than a Turtle “ Hury up, Millie! You are slower than a turtle today, ” says Alana. “ That's okay, " replies Millie. " It is not a bad thing to be as slow as a turtle. Do you know that turtles live to be 200 and even 300 years old?" “ Wow! ” says Alana. “ How is that possible?” “ There are many reasons, " says Millie. " But mostly, it's because they take their time. They are never in a rush. They take life easy. People can learn a lesson from turtles. ” Later, the two girls read about turtles. They discover that turtles walk very slowly. They are never in a hurry to eat.

比乌龟慢 “快点，米莉!”你今天比乌龟还慢。”阿拉娜说。 “没关系，”米莉回答。“像乌龟一样慢并不是件坏事。你知道海龟可以活到200岁甚至300岁吗?” “哇!”阿拉娜说。“这怎么可能?” “有很多原因，”米莉说。“但最主要的原因是，他们不着急。他们从不赶时间。他们让生活变得轻松。人们可以从海龟身上吸取教训。” 后来，两个女孩读到关于乌龟的故事。他们发现乌龟走得很慢。他们从不急着吃饭。

Sometimes, they take many hours to eat a good meal. They breathe slowly and get lots of rest. In winter, they make a big hole in the mud and go to sleep. Everything gets even slower. When they wake up in the spring, they begin to move. But, as always, they move slowly. That's the trick. Slow and steady wins the race. So what's the lesson to be learned from turtles?Don't get too excited and live a long life, just like a turtle.

有时，他们要花好几个小时才能吃一顿好饭。他们呼吸缓慢，得到充分的休息。 冬天，它们在泥里挖一个大洞，然后睡觉。一切都变得更慢。当它们在春天醒来时，就开始移动。但是，一如既往，他们行动缓慢。 这就是诀窍。慢而稳则胜。那么我们能从海龟身上学到什么呢?不要太兴奋，像乌龟一样长寿。
