[6-23]中国寓言故事双语版:井蛙之乐
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, center][b][size=5]A frog lived in a shallow well.[/size][/b][/p][/font][font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]One day, it met beside the well a large soft-shelled turtle which had just crawled up from the sea.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]The frog bragged to the turtle: "Look, how happy I am to live here![/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]When I feel glad, I would bounce for a while near the well; and when I am tired,[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]I would return to the well to sleep and rest for a while by the brick hole.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]Sometimes, I would quietly soak my whole body in the water, showing only my head and mouth.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]Sometimes, I would stroll in the soft mud, which is very comfortable.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]None of those tiny crabs and tadpoles can compare with me.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]I am the master of this well, free and unrestrained.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]Why don't you come often to play in the well?"[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]Hearing this, the turtle was itching to go down to take a look.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]But before he put his left foot into the well, his right foot stumbled.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]He quickly retreated two steps and told the frog about the sea:[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]"Have you ever seen the sea?[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]The sea is very, very wide, over 1,000 1i.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]The sea is very, very deep, over 1,000 zhang (3'/3 metres).[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]In ancient times, in nine years out of ten there were floods, but the water in the sea did not rise much.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]Later, in seven years out of eight there were droughts, but the water in the sea did not drop much.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]Neither big floods nor big droughts can affect the sea.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]Only living in the sea can you feel real happiness!”[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]Amazed at what the big turtle had said, the frog was dumbstruck.[/p]
[/font] [font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left][b]一只青蛙住在一口浅井里。[/b][/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]有一天，青蛙在井边碰上了一只刚从海里爬上来的大鳖。[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]青蛙对大鳖夸口说:“你看，我住在这里多么快乐![/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]高兴了，就在井边跳跃一阵子;疲倦了，[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]就回到井里，睡在砖洞边上休息一会儿。[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]有时候，我静静地把全身泡在水里，只露出头和嘴巴;[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]有时候，在软绵绵的泥浆里散散步，也很舒服。[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]那些螃琪和蛾鲜，它们谁也比不上我。[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]我是这个井的主人，自由自在。[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]你为什么不常到井里来游玩游玩呢!”[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]大鳖听了青蛙的话，心里痒痒的，准备下去看看。[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]但是它的左脚还没伸进去，右脚就已经绊住了。[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]它连忙后退了两步，把大海的情形告诉青蛙，说:[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]“你见过大海吗?[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]海很大很大，哪止千里;[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]海很深很深，哪止千丈。[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]古时候，十年里有九年发大水，但是海里的水涨高不了多少。[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]后来，八年里有七年要大旱，可是海里的水也不见得浅了多少。[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]大涝和大旱都影响不了大海。[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]住在大海里，才是真正的快乐呢!”[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]听了大鳖的这一番话，青蛙非常吃惊，呆在那里，无话可说了。[/p][/font]
