儿童英语故事:学会感恩
Two Travelers, walking in the noonday sun, sought the shade of a wide spreading tree to rest. As they lay looking up among the pleasant leaves, they saw that it was a plane tree.
有两个行人,在正午的太阳底下赶路,找到一颗有着大片树阴的大树,在那块凉爽的阴凉地休息。当他们躺在树下,抬头看给自己带来舒适的树叶时,发现这是一颗梧桐树。
“How useless is the Plane! ” Said one of them. “It bears no fruit whatever, and only serves to litter the ground with leaves.”
“梧桐树一点用都没有!”其中一个行人说,“它什么果实都不结,到时候叶子落了,还会给地面增加垃圾。”
“Ungrateful creatures!” said a voice from the plane tree. ”You lie here in my cooling shade, and yet you say I am useless! Thus ungratefully, O Jupiter, do men receive their blessings! ”
“不知好歹的人的人啊!”梧桐树发出了声音,“你们躺在我阴凉地树阴里,却说我一点用都没有。这些忘恩负义的家伙!万能的神啊,希望人类受到应有的报应!”
