《莫蒂与双倍健身鼠》 凯西·霍根 著 戴维·奥佩 绘 思考问题 莫蒂在故事里学到了什么道理？

Chapter 1. Sweat trickled into Morty's ears, but he kept on climbing. His eyes were fixed on the metal hook that secured the large rope to the gym ceiling. He climbed the final two feet, 0 .6 meters, and slapped the hook with his paw, while his classmates cheered from below. Morty slid down proudly, ignoring the throbbing rope burn.

第一章 汗水流进了莫蒂的耳朵，可他还是坚持往上爬 他的眼睛牢牢盯着把粗绳固定在体育馆天花板的金属挂钩 他爬完最后两英尺（0.6米），用爪子拍中了挂钩，同学们在底下齐声欢呼 莫蒂骄傲地滑下来，完全没理会火辣辣发疼的擦伤

All third graders that climb to the top two times this month will receive the twice fit mice award, Coach Mack announced. Does anyone else have the guts to give it a try? Ben and Fred eagerly raised their paws, and the class watched as they worked their way to the top. The gym will be available during recess and after school, Coach Mack said. You can train until you earn two stars on the chart. If you need any tips, these three can offer some help. He motioned to Morty, Ben, and Fred. Good luck, weaklings, Morty muttered, careful not to let Coach Mack hear.

麦克教练宣布：本月能两次爬到顶端的三年级学生，都将获得双倍健身鼠奖 还有谁有勇气来试一试吗？ 本和弗雷德兴奋地举起爪子，全班看着他们一步步爬到顶端 麦克教练说：休息时间和放学后体育馆都开放 你们可以一直训练，直到在榜单上拿到两颗星 如果你们需要攀爬技巧，这三位可以给大家提供帮助 他朝莫蒂、本和弗雷德示意 祝你们好运哦，菜鸟们，莫蒂小声嘀咕，生怕被麦克教练听见

Chapter two. The next morning, Morty's muscles ached and his paws were chafed. I'm not excited to climb that rope again, he grumbled on the way to school. Me neither, Ben agreed. My arms feel like jelly. Fred groaned. At least we don't have to spend more time practicing.

第二章 第二天早上，莫蒂肌肉酸痛，爪子也磨破了 我才不想再爬那破绳子，他在上学路上嘟囔着 我也不想，本附和道 我的胳膊软得像果冻 弗雷德抱怨道 至少我们不用再花额外时间练习了

During recess, Morty peered in the open gym door to see Marta on the rope, squirming in vain as she attempted the climb. Marta was Morty's next door neighbor. Marta! Morty yelled. Are those muscles or noodles? Ben and Fred cackled at the insult and followed Morty to the soccer field. Morty, Ben, and Fred never climbed the rope at recess or after school, and they didn't stay to help their classmates train. Instead, they spent their afternoons playing video games.

休息时，莫蒂往开着门的体育馆里瞟，看见玛尔塔抓着绳子，拼了命也爬不上去 玛尔塔是莫蒂的隔壁邻居 玛尔塔！ 莫蒂大喊 你这胳膊是肌肉还是面条啊？ 本和弗雷德被这句嘲讽逗得哈哈大笑，跟着莫蒂去了足球场 莫蒂、本和弗雷德休息和放学后都再也不爬绳子，也不留下来帮同学训练 相反，他们整个下午都在打电子游戏

"'I've looked for you in the gym,' Marta said to Morty one day during lunch. "'Coach said you'd help us with the challenge.' "'I've been busy,' Morty said as he munched on some cheese puffs. "'I just can't do it,' Marta complained. "'I practice and practice, but I can't reach the top.' "'You really haven't gotten any better in the last two weeks?' Morty asked. Marta shook her head. I try to climb higher, but I'm scared I'll fall. Well, I definitely can't help you, Morty said. You're just a chicken. Marta looked hurt. Without saying a word, she stood abruptly, grabbed her lunch, and went to sit at another

“我在体育馆找过你，”一天午餐时玛尔塔对莫蒂说 “教练说你会帮我们完成挑战的。” “我一直很忙，”莫蒂一边嚼芝士泡芙一边说 “我就是爬不上去，”玛尔塔抱怨道 “我练了又练，还是够不到顶端。” “这两个礼拜你真的一点进步都没有吗？” 莫蒂问道 玛尔塔摇了摇头 我努力想爬更高，可我害怕会掉下去 好吧，我肯定帮不了你，莫蒂说 你就是个胆小鬼 玛尔塔看起来很受伤 她一言不发，猛地站起来，拿起自己的午餐，坐到了另一
