儿童英语故事阅读:渺小的老鼠
A Rat was traveling along the king’s highway. He was a very proud Rat, considering his small size and the bad reputation all Rats have. As Mr. Rat walked along-he noticed a great commotion up the road, and soon a grand procession came in view. It was the King and his retinue.
一只小老鼠,走在动物王国的大道上。考虑到所有老鼠都是那么身材矮小、声名狼藉,这只老鼠可以说非常妄自尊大。当老鼠先生继续往前走的时候(通常,它都沿着沟渠走),它注意到,路的前方人声鼎沸、十分喧闹。接着,一支盛大的队伍映入老鼠先生的眼帘。那是国王和他的随从们。
The King rode on a huge Elephant adorned with the most gorgeous trappings. With the king in his Luxurious howdah were the royal Dog and Cat. A great crowd of people followed the procession. They were so taken up with admiration of the Elephant, that the Rat was not noticed. His pride was not noticed. His pride was hurt.
国王骑在一头装饰着最耀眼、最华丽的配饰的大象上。和国王一起坐在豪华的象教里面的,是王室的狗和猫。队伍后面,跟随着浩浩荡荡的人群。他们全都羡慕地啧啧赞美着大象,却没有人注意老鼠。老鼠的自尊心受到了伤害。
“What fools!” he cried. “Look at me, and you will soon forget that clumsy Elephant! Is it his great size that makes your eyes pop out? Or is it his wrinkled hide? Why, I have eyes and ears and as many leges as he! I am of just as much importance, and” But just then the royal Cat spied him, and the next instant, the Rat knew he was not quite so important as an Elephant.
“多么愚蠢啊!”老鼠喊道,“看看我,你们很快就会忘记笨手笨脚的大象!是它那庞大的身躯,让你们瞪大了眼睛吗?还是它那身皱巴巴的皮?哎呀,我和它一样有眼睛有耳朵,腿也和它一样多啊!我和它同样重要,而且”然而,就在这个时候,国王的猫发现了老鼠,下一刻,老鼠明白,自己完全不如大象那么重要。
