「雙語」螞蟻和鴿子 The Ant and the Dove

螞蟻和鴿子

One hot day, an ant was searching for some water. After walking around for some time, she came to a spring. To reach the spring, she had to climb up a blade of grass. While making her way up, she slipped and fell into the water.

在一個炎熱的日子里，一只螞蟻正在找水。走了一段時間后，她找到了泉水?？墒?，要到達泉水，她不得不爬上一棵小草。她在往上爬的時候滑倒了，掉進了水里。

She could have drowned if a dove up a nearby tree had not seen her. Seeing that the ant was in trouble, the dove quickly plucked a leaf and dropped it into the water near the struggling ant. The ant moved towards the leaf and climbed up onto it. Soon, the leaf drifted to dry ground, and the ant jumped out. She was safe at last.

如果附近樹上的鴿子沒有看到她，她可能會淹死。看到螞蟻遇到了麻煩，鴿子迅速地摘下一片葉子，把它扔進了掙扎的螞蟻附近的水里。螞蟻朝葉子走去，爬上了葉子。很快，樹葉飄到了干地上，螞蟻跳了出來。她終于安全了。

Just at that time, a hunter nearby was about to throw his net over the dove, hoping to trap it.

就在那時，附近的一個獵人正要把他的網(wǎng)扔向鴿子，準備捉住它。

Guessing what he was about to do, the ant quickly bit him on the heel. Feeling the pain, the hunter dropped his net. The dove was quick to fly away to safety.

螞蟻猜到他要做什么，很快就咬了他的腳后跟。獵人感到一陣疼痛，扔下了網(wǎng)。鴿子很快就飛到安全的地方去了。

Moral: One good turn begets another.

寓意:善有善報。
