ant 有关的故事
One summer's day, a grasshopper was hopping about in a field, chirping and singing to its heart's content.
夏日的一天,一只蚱蜢正在一块庄稼地上蹦来跳去,无忧无虑地唱着歌。
An ant passed by, bearing along with an ear ofcorn (玉米),he was taking it to the nest.
一只蚂蚁爬过,正地拖着一个玉米棒子,他是正要把玉米棒子拖回到蚂蚁巢里面去。
"Why not come and chat with me," said the grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?"
“不如过来跟我聊聊天吧,”蚱蜢说,“不用这样辛苦地工作吧?”
"I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the ant, "andrecommend(建议)you to do thesame(相同的)."
“我正帮忙贮存过冬用的粮食,” 蚂蚁说,“我建议你也同样去贮存点粮食。”
"Why bother about winter?" said the grasshopper,"We have got plenty of food at present." But the ant went on its way and continued itstoil(辛苦).
“为什么要为冬天烦恼呢?”蚱蜢说,“我们现在有大把的粮食”。但蚂蚁没有听它的,而是继续辛苦地拖着粮食往回赶。
When the winter came the grasshopper had no food and founditself(它自己)dying of hunger - while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer.
当冬天来了,蚱蜢没有粮食,发现快要饿死它自己了。 这时,蚱蜢看到蚂蚁们正从备用品中分发他们在夏天收集的每日玉米跟谷物。
Then the grasshopper knew: It is best to prepare for days of need.
然后蚱蜢明白了: 什么事都要提早做好准备的好。
