乌鸦喝水的故事英文版(带翻译):
One summer, the crow's hometown was very dry. He could not find water everywhere. The crow decided to move to a new place, where there must be a clear stream. The crow flew for a long time and did not see the river. He feels so thirsty that he really wants to drink the water right away.
有一年夏天,乌鸦的家乡非常干旱,他到处都找不到水喝。乌鸦决定搬到一个新地方,那里要有清澈的小河。乌鸦飞了很久,也没有看到小河。他觉得好渴呀,真想马上就喝到水。
Suddenly, the crow saw a bottle on the ground. There was some water in the bottle. "At last there's water to drink!" The crow flew happily to the bottle. The crow reached his mouth into the bottle, but the bottle mouth was too small, and the water in the bottle was too low for the crow to drink.
突然,乌鸦看到地上有个瓶子,瓶子里有一些水。“终于有水喝了!”乌鸦开心地飞到瓶子旁边。乌鸦把嘴伸到瓶子里,可是瓶口太小了,瓶子里的水又太低,乌鸦怎么也喝不着。
The crow is in a hurry. How can we drink water?
乌鸦急得团团转,怎么才能喝到水呢?
The crow thought, "if the bottle is lower, it will drink water." As the crow thought, he picked up a stone and knocked it off. "No, no, if the bottle is broken, the water will run away." The crow threw away the pebble and thought, "if you can make the water rise to the mouth of the bottle,"
乌鸦想:“如果瓶口再低一点儿,就能喝到水了。”乌鸦一边想,一边衔起一块石子,准备把瓶口砸掉。“不行,不行,万一瓶子被砸碎了,水就流走了。”乌鸦扔掉小石子,转念一想,“如果能让水升到瓶口,就好了。”
The crow fiddled with the pebble beside the bottle, and suddenly came up with a good idea: put some stones in the bottle, and the water will rise. The crow came with many small stones and carefully put them into the bottle. The water in the bottle gradually increased.
乌鸦拨弄着瓶子旁边的小石子,忽然想出了一个好办法:往瓶子里放一些石子,水就能升高了。乌鸦衔来很多小石子,小心地把他们放进瓶子里,瓶子里的水渐渐升高了。
After a while, the water in the bottle rose to the mouth of the bottle, and the crow was very happy. He opened his mouth and had a big drink, cool and sweet, so comfortable. The crow took the wings and drank the water with a big mouth. After a while, he put some small stones in the bottle and continued to drink.
不一会儿,瓶子里的水就升到了瓶口,乌鸦开心极了。他张开嘴巴,欢快地喝了一大口,凉凉的、甜甜的,真舒服! 乌鸦拍着翅膀,大口大口地喝水。喝一会儿,他就往瓶子里放些小石子,然后继续大口喝水。
The crow drank the water and felt strong again. He's going to go on! After a long flight, the crow finally came to a beautiful place. There are clear rivers, green trees and beautiful flowers. The crow is very happy.
乌鸦喝完水,感觉自己又有力气了。他要继续向前飞啦!又飞了很久,乌鸦终于到了一个美丽的地方。这里有清澈的小河,还有绿绿的树木、漂亮的花朵,乌鸦开心极了。
