儿童英语寓言故事:给猫挂铃铛
The Mice once called a meeting to decide on a plan to free themselves of their enemy, the Cat. At least they wished to find some way of knowing when she was coming, so they might have time to run away. Indeed, something had to be done, for they lived in such constant fear of her claws that they hardly dared stir from their dens by night or day.
老鼠们曾经召开了一次会议,决定制定一个计划,以摆脱自己的敌人,也就是猫。至少,它们希望找到一种方法,猫过来时大家能够提前得到消息,这样才有时间逃命。的确,它们得做一些事情了。老鼠们长期生活在对猫爪子的恐惧之中,无论白天黑夜,几乎都不敢离开鼠洞。
Many plans were discussed, but none of there was thought good enough. At last a very young Mouse got up and said:
它们讨论了形形色色的策略,几乎每一个都不被认为是完美的。最后,一只小老鼠站出来说:
“I have a plan that seems very simple, but I know it will be successful. All we have to do is to hang a bell about the Cat’s neck. When we hear the bell ringing we will know immediately that our enemy is coming.”
“我有个办法,看起来很简单,不过我认为很管用。我们要做的就是,在猫的脖子上挂一只铃铛。当我们听到铃铛响的时候,立刻就能知道是敌人来了。”
All the Mice were much surprised that they had not thought of such a plan before. But in the midst of such a plan before. But in the midst of the rejoicing over their good fortune, an old Mouse arose and said:
所有的老鼠都很惊讶,自己以前为什么没有想到这样一个办法呢。在它们兴高采烈、欢呼雀跃的时候,一只上了年纪的老鼠站起来说:
“I will say that the plan of the young Mouse is very good. But let me ask one question: Who will bell the Cat?”
“小老鼠的这个计划的确很绝妙。不过我想提个问题:谁去给猫挂铃铛呢?”
