守株待兔 Wait for rabbit meat under

【前言】

第二次尝试英译小古文，看到又简短又熟悉的一篇便立刻行动起来~ 中间还出现了一段有趣的小插曲。

当他正在翻译“守株待兔"的题目时，第一回脱口而出的是: wait for rabbit under a tree. 话刚出口，他便说：嗯? 感觉不对呀！这好象是他和兔子有个约会的感觉！哈哈哈~ 看来小朋友还是有点语感的哟！

【原文】

宋人有耕者，田中有株，兔走触株，折颈而死，因释其耒而守株，冀复得兔，兔不可复得而身为宋国笑。

【译文】

Long long ago there was a farmer. He had many crops in his farm. One day he saw a rabbit bumped into a tree and died. He gave the dead rabbit to his wife and enjoyed a big meal. After that he gave up his farm and waited for more rabbits under the tree. But no more rabbits came again. He became a big joke then.
