LESSON 31 The fox and the goat

第三十一課 狐貍與山羊

Every one had heard of the fox's cunning;and every one but the goat believed in it.

大家都聽說過狐貍的狡猾，并且所有人都對此深信不疑，但山羊卻不相信。

One very hot summer, when all the springs and brooks were dry, a fox looked about all day in vain for water to drink. He even crept slyly into a farm-yard; but the dog saw him, and he had to leave in a great hurry.

在一個炎熱的夏天，當(dāng)所有的泉水和小溪都干涸了，一只狐貍終日徒勞地到處找水喝。他甚至狡黠地爬進(jìn)一個農(nóng)場的院子，但是狗看到了他，于是他不得不急忙地離開了。

At last he thought of an old well in the middle of a field near the farm; and to it he set off with all speed. When he came to it, he found that the water was quite out of his reach.

最后他想起在農(nóng)場附近的田地中央有一口很老的井，于是他全速地向那里奔去。當(dāng)他來到了井旁，他發(fā)現(xiàn)水深得令他根本夠不到。

He tried again and again to reach it, and at last tumbled in, heels over head!

他反復(fù)地試了很多次去夠水喝，結(jié)果卻掉進(jìn)了井里，摔了個腳朝天！

He got a great fright, but he was not much hurt; and as the water was not very deep, he was glad enough to drink.

他嚇得要命，不過他沒受多大傷；而且由于水不是很深，他美滋滋地喝起了水。

When his thirst was gone, he wished to get out; but the sides of the well were steep, and even when standing on his hind legs, he could not reach halfway to the top. There he was, a close prisoner!

當(dāng)他止了渴，便開始期望能逃出去；但是井壁很陡，即便是用后腿站立，他連距離井口的一半都夠不到。現(xiàn)在好了，他成了一個沒人知道的囚犯”！

The next morning, a goat came down to the well; and seeing the fox there, she said, "Is the water good?"

第二天早晨，一只山羊來到井旁，看見了井里的狐貍，她說，“水好喝嗎？”

"Oh!" said the fox, "come down, my friend; it is so good, that I cannot stop drinking it!"

哦！狐貍回答，“下來啊，我的朋友；水很好喝呢，我根本控制不了自己，總想喝！”

Down jumped long-beard at once; but no sooner was she down than the fox leaped on her back, and in an instant was on the green grass! As he sprang to the top of the well, he turned round and said, "Thank you, madam; I bid you good morning!"

山羊立即跳了下去；然而在她跳下的瞬間狐貍縱身躍上她的后背，很快地他就跳到了綠草地上！當(dāng)他彈到井口時，他回過頭說,謝謝你，女士；我祝你早安！”

The silly goat soon saw how foolish she had been, to listen to the cunning fox.—Never trust those who are known to be sly and selfish.

這只愚蠢的山羊很快見識到了自己有多傻，居然聽信了狡猾的狐貍?！肋h(yuǎn)不要相信那些出了名的狡詐而自私的人。

QUESTIONS

問題

Who would not believe in the fox's cunning? What made her change her mind? How did the fox get into the well? What did he find, when he had done drinking? How did he tempt the goat to jump down? As soon as she was down, what did he do? What did the goat then see? Never trust those who are known to be…?

什么人不會相信狐貍的狡詐？什么改變她的主意？這只狐貍是怎么進(jìn)到井里的？當(dāng)解渴后，他發(fā)現(xiàn)了什么？他是如何引誘山羊跳下去的？山羊跳下去的瞬間，狐貍做了什么？后來山羊看清了什么？永遠(yuǎn)不要相信什么樣的人？
