The Rabbit and the Tortoise龟兔赛跑

It is a bright spring morning. A Tortoise walks by and meets a Rabbit.

一个春光明媚的早晨。一只乌龟正在往前走,这时他遇到了一只兔子。

Tortoise: Hi there, Mr. Rabbit. Beautiful day, isn’t it?

乌龟:嘿,你好,兔子先生。今天天气真好,不是吗?

Rabbit: Aren’t you “the Slow Tortoise”?

兔子:你是那个“慢吞吞的乌龟”吗?

The Tortoise is a little mad, but he doesn't show it. The Tortoise still tries to be nice to the Rabbit.

乌龟有点生气了,但是他并没有表现出来。乌龟仍然试着对兔子友好些。

Tortoise: Yes, I’m Mr. Tortoise. I’m happy to meet you. Let’s be friends.

乌龟:是啊,我是乌龟先生。很高兴遇到你。我们交个朋友吧!

Rabbit: No, thank you. I don’t want to be your friend.

兔子:不了,谢谢!我不想做你的朋友。

Tortoise: How come?

乌龟:为什么?

Rabbit: Your legs are too short. You can’t jump. And you are too slow.

兔子:你的腿太短了,你不会跳,而且你动作太慢!

Tortoise: My legs may be short. And I may be slow. But I can still beat you in a race.

乌龟:我的腿是短,我可能是很慢,但我还是可以在赛跑中赢你。

Rabbit: Ha! Ha! Ha! That’s funny! How can you beat me? I am much faster.

兔子:哈哈哈!太好笑了!你怎么能赢我呢?我比你快多了。

Tortoise: I can beat you for sure.

乌龟:我一定能赢你。

Rabbit: No, you can’t!

兔子:不,你不能!

Tortoise: Yes, I can!

乌龟:能!我能!

Rabbit: No, you can’t!

兔子:不,你不能!

Tortoise: Yes, I can! Let’s have a race now. Then you’ll see.

乌龟:能!我能!我们现在就来赛跑。跑完之后你就知道了。

Rabbit: Now? Okay! Why not? I will win for sure.

兔子:现在吗?好啊!有何不可?我一定会赢的。

Tortoise: Let’s make a bet. If I win, you must carry me on your back.

乌龟:我们来打个赌。如果我赢了,你要背着我。

Rabbit: I promise. But if I win, you must carry me.

兔子:没问题。但是如果我贏了,你也要背着我。

Tortoise: Fine.

乌龟:好!

The other animals in the forest hear about the race and gather to see the Tortoise and the Rabbit run. The race is about to start.

森林里其他的动物听到这个消息都围过来观看乌龟和兔子的比赛。比赛就要开始了。

Tortoise: See the mountain top?

乌龟:你看到那座山的山顶了吗?

Rabbit: Yes.

兔子:看到了。

Tortoise: The first one to reach there, wins. Okay?

乌龟:谁最先到那里谁就算赢了,好吗?

Rabbit: Okay.

兔子:好!

The Fox is the starter.

狐狸当发令员。

Fox: Stand behind this line. Are you both ready?

狐狸:站到这条线后面。你们两个都准备好了吗?

Tortoise: Yes.

乌龟:好了。

Rabbit: Me too.

兔子:我也好了。

Fox: Okay. I’ll start the race. One! Two! Three! Go!

狐狸:好,我要发令了! 一! 二!三!跑!

The Fox drops the white handkerchief and the race starts.The Rabbit is very fast and is already way ahead. The tortoise walks very slowly. The other animals are all cheering for the Tortoise. The Fox is worried about the Tortoise.

狐狸扔出白色的手帕,比赛开始了。 兔子跑得非常快,很快就遥遥领先了。而乌龟走得很慢,其他的动物都在为乌龟加油。狐狸很替乌龟担心。

Fox: Poor Mr. Tortoise. He will lose for sure.

狐狸:可怜的乌龟先生,他输定了。

Goat: How do you know? Maybe he will win.

山羊:你怎么知道?没准儿他会赢呢!

The Rabbit is already half way up the mountain. He is out of breath. He stops to look behind.

兔子已经跑到了半山腰,他跑得上气不接下气。于是他停下来往后看了看。

Rabbit: Where is the Tortoise? I can’t even see him. He is too slow for me. This is too easy.

兔子:乌龟在哪里?我都看不见他。对我来说他太慢了,这比赛太简单了。

The Rabbit decides to take a nap before the Tortoise comes.

兔子决定在乌龟赶上之前睡一会儿。

Rabbit: I am a little tired. And I have a lot of time. So, I will take a nap here.

兔子:我有点儿累了,而且我还有很多时间,那么,我就在这儿睡一会儿吧!

The Rabbit takes a nap. Even though the Tortoise is still far behind, he doesn’t stop or give up. He just walks and walks and walks.

兔子眯着眼睛睡着了,虽然乌龟仍然远远地落在后边,但他没有停止或放弃。他只是不停地走啊走。

Tortoise: I am tired, but I must go on. I must win the race. One, two. One, two.

乌龟:我累了,但是我必须要继续走。我一定要赢得比赛。一、二、一、二!

The Rabbit falls asleep and continues to sleep for hours. The Tortoise is now at the middle of the mountain. He sees the Rabbit sleeping.

兔子进入了梦乡,一睡就是好几个小时。现在乌龟已经到半山腰了,他看到了熟睡的兔子。

Tortoise: It’s Mr. Rabbit! Why is he sleeping here? He must be very tired. I am tired, too. But I must go on. One, two. One, two.

乌龟:是兔子先生!他为什么在这里睡觉呢?他一定累坏了。我也好累啊,但是我必须继续往前走。一、二、一、二!

The mountain top is not too far away. The Tortoise is almost at the finish line. All the other animals are surprised.

山顶就在不远处,乌龟己经快要到达终点线了。其他所有的动物都很吃惊。

Goat: Look! It’s the Tortoise!

山羊:看啊!是乌龟!

Fox: Where’s the Rabbit?

狐狸:兔子在哪儿啊?

Goat: Who knows? Come on, Mr. Tortoise! Go! Go! Go!

山羊:谁知道呢?快,乌龟先生!加油!加油!加油!

The tortoise takes one step, and another step, and another.

乌龟一步一步地走着。

Tortoise: One, two. One, two. I’m almost there.

乌龟:一、二、一、二!我快要到了。

Just then, the Rabbit wakes up from his nap and is surprised. He realizes that he has slept too long. He sees the Tortoise near the mountain top. He runs, and runs, and runs, but it’s no use.

正在此时,兔子醒了过来,他吓了一跳。他发现自己睡得太久了。他看到乌龟就快要到山顶了。他跑啊跑啊跑,但是已经没用了。

Rabbit: Faster! Faster! I must run faster!

兔子:快点!快点!我必须跑快点!

Finally, the Tortoise reaches the mountain top first and wins the race.

终于乌龟最先到达了终点,他嬴得了比赛。

Goat: Hooray! Hooray for Mr. Tortoise!

山羊:万岁!乌龟先生万岁!

Fox: Congratulations, Mr. Tortoise! You won the race!

狐狸:恭喜你,乌龟先生!你赢得了比赛!

Tortoise: Thank you, thank you, everyone!

乌龟:谢谢你,谢谢大家。

The Rabbit is too late. He feels ashamed.

兔子来得太晚了,他感到很不好意思。

Rabbit: Oh, no! I lost. Now I have to carry the Tortoise on my back.

兔子:哦,不!我输了。现在我必须要背着乌龟。

The Rabbit goes to shake hands with the Tortoise.

兔子走过去和乌龟握手。

Rabbit: Good race. Congratulations, Mr. Tortoise. You won the race.

兔子:你很棒。恭喜你,乌龟先生,你赢得了比赛。

Tortoise: I told you, I would win.

乌龟:我说过,我会赢的。

Rabbit: But how did you do it?

兔子:但是你怎么会贏呢?

Tortoise: It wasn’t too hard. Just take one step after another. It may be slow, but you will get there for sure.

乌龟:这并不难,只要一步步来。也许是慢了些,但你一定能到达目的地。

Rabbit: Oh...Now, I will keep my promise. Climb up on my back.

兔子:哦……现在,我要实现我的诺言。爬到我的背上吧!

Tortoise: That’s okay. Let’s just be friends.

乌龟:算了吧,我们做朋友吧。
