农夫与老鹰
Farmer and Eagle
One beautiful summer morning, a farmer went to check his animal traps(陷阱). In one trap, he found a beautiful eagle. At first, he thought that he would kill the eagle and eat it.
一个风和日丽的夏日早餐,一位农夫去查看他设下的捕兽夹,发现一只鹰被捕兽夹夹住了,他见鹰十分美丽,惊讶不已。一开始他想把老鹰杀了吃掉。
But then he thought to himself, “This is a beautiful and special bird. It often catches rabbits and mice that eat my crops. I’ll let it go.”
但是又想:这是一只美丽又特别的老鹰,它会捕捉吃掉我玉米的兔子和老鼠,我应该放它走。
He opened the trap, and the eagle spread its wings and flew up into the blue shy. The eagle was very grateful to be free again. It continued to live on the farmer’s land and catch mice and rabbits.
农夫于是打开捕兽器便把鹰放了,鹰表示永不忘他的恩德。老鹰继续住在农夫的田地上,捕捉老鼠和兔子。
Later that summer, the farmer was building a wall. It was high and made of large stones. Suddenly, the wall started to fall, but the farmer did not notice.
有一天,农夫正在搭建一面墙,高墙用很多石头搭建。突然,墙要倒塌了,但是农夫没有注意到。
The eagle, flying above, saw that the farmer was in danger. It flew down and grabbed the farmer’s hat off his head. The farmer shouted, Hey! Bring that back!”
老鹰看到农夫有危险,就立刻朝下飞去,用脚爪抓起他头上的帽子。农夫站起来去追,大喊:“嘿,把帽子还给我”。
The eagle flew a short distance and then dropped the hat. The angry farmer picked up his hat and walked back. He saw that the stone wall had fallen. The farmer smiled and thought, “The eagle repaid me when I most needed help.”
鹰废了一小段距离后把帽子丢还给他。生气的农夫拾起帽子后就要走回去,回过头来一看,却发现在他刚坐过的地方,墙已倒塌了。农夫笑了想到:“老鹰在我 需要帮助的时候报答了我呀!”
