One day, a king was travelling in his own land. He saw a farmer so absorbed in his work that he did not even notice a snake coiling round his leg.
壹天，國王在他的國家巡遊，看見壹個農夫正專心地鋤地，以至連壹條蛇纏住他的腿都沒有發覺。
The king shouted,?Dear man, there is a snake on your leg!?
國王大聲驚叫起來：?漢子，妳的腿被壹條蛇纏住了呀!?
The farmer just shook the snake off and continued his work.
農夫抖了抖腿把蛇甩開，然後繼續鋤地。
The king was very curious and asked,?Dear man, don't you know that the snake can harm you? You ignored it and kept working. Is the work more important than your life?
國王感到很奇怪，問：?漢子，妳不知道那蛇會咬傷妳嗎?妳卻滿不在乎地幹活，難道幹活比妳的命還重要嗎?
The farmer said,?Your Majesty, the only thing that is threatening me is not the snake but the food. If I don't work hard, when the next spring comes, my family members will starve to death!?
農夫說：?陛下，真正威脅我生命的不是蛇，而是食物。如果我不拼命耕作，明年春天壹到，我壹家老小就全餓死了!?
The king sympathized with the farmer and he instructed his prime minister to give the farmer a big sum of money.
國王聽了，很同情這個農夫的處境，他命令首相給了農夫壹大筆救濟金。
A year later, the king met the farmer again. He was well dressed and looked rather plump. He was not farming now but there was a bandage on his right arm.
壹年後，國王又遇見了那個農夫。他衣著華麗，腦滿腸肥，甚為富裕。他沒有鋤地，右臂纏著繃帶。
The king asked him,?Dear man, what happened to your arm?
國王上前問他：?漢子，妳的胳膊怎麽啦?
?Your Majesty,?the farmer replied,?my finger was pricked by a thorn on the pumpkin. Now I need a rest to take care of my arm.?
?陛下!?農夫答道，?我的手指被南瓜刺紮了壹下。現在我需要休息來養養胳膊。?
The king was astonished.?When you were such a poor man, you were not afraid of a snake bite. You only kept working hard. But now you need a rest after being pricked by a little thorn on the pumpkin!?
國王驚嘆道：?啊!想當年妳窮的時候，蛇都不怕，拼命地幹活。現在讓南瓜刺紮了壹下就想歇息了!?
The farmer said,?Your Majesty, you have forgotten what people usually say: that was before, now it is different!?
農夫說：?尊敬的國王，您忘了人們常說：此壹時，彼壹時嘛!?

A man was strolling along the beach when he suddenly noticed from afar what he thought werechildren dancing.
有個人在沙灘上散步，在不經意間看到遠處好像有孩子在跳舞。
?What on earth are they doing dancing on the beach?as he quickly paced towards them.
?他們為什麽要在沙灘上跳舞呢?他邊想邊快速地朝孩子們走去。
He was surprised that a boy and a girl were not dancing but picking up the starfishes whichwere washed ashore by the tide and throwing them back into the sea.
他驚奇地發現，那個男孩和那個女孩並不是在跳舞，而是在撿被潮水沖上岸來的海星，然後把它們扔回大海。
?Excuse me, why are you throwing the starfishes back into the sea?he asked.
?請問，妳們為什麽要把海星扔回大海呢?他問。
The children ignored the remark but they continued picking up the starfishes and kept throwingthem back into the sea.
孩子們沒有理會他，繼續撿海星向大海扔去。
?Don't you think it is a waste of your time as there are hundreds of starfishes still lying around.Surely you can't keep this act all day long.?
?妳們不覺得這是在浪費時間嗎?還有成千上萬只海星躺在岸上呢!妳們肯定不會壹整天都這樣扔下去吧。?
At last the elder boy replied,?Sir, you see the sun would soon rise and the tide will ebb away.
後來，年齡大壹點兒的男孩說：?先生，妳知道嗎，太陽很快就要升起來了，潮水也會退去。
Though my sister and I can't throw all the starfishes back into the sea, we are sure it mattersto the ones we succeed in throwing.
雖然我和妹妹不能把所有的海星都扔回大海，但我相信，對於被我們扔回大海的海星來說，我們所做的是至關重要的。
Would you like to join us, it would make a difference.?The man smiled and said,?It certainlywould,?so he too pick up the starfishes and threw them into the sea.
妳想加入我們嗎?這很有意義。?那人笑了笑說：?非常願意。?於是，他也撿起海星，朝大海扔去。

Tom with his axe was stepping through the wood, a sapling called to him, and stopped him on his way,?Do clear away those trees, kind friend, I wish you would!
湯姆帶著斧子穿過樹林時，壹棵小樹叫他，他就停下了腳步。?好心人，幫我砍掉那些樹吧，我希望妳能幫我這個忙!
They will not let me have free play, on me the sunlight cannot fall. To spread my roots, I find no room at all, no whisper of the wind about me plays, and they twine above my head a veritable maze.
它們讓我無法自由地玩耍，陽光照不到我的身上，我的根也無法延伸。我完全沒有空間了，四周密不透風，它們在我頭頂結成天羅地網。
I tell you, but for them, if I could only start, you'd find me in a year the pride of all this part. The dell to right and left my friendly shade should cover, but as it is, you see! I'm brushwood?little over.?
我告訴妳，要不是它們，壹年之內，妳會發現我才是這裏的驕傲，我的枝葉將會遮蔽山谷的左右兩旁。然而，妳看，現在我只是小灌木。?
Then Tom, he swung his axe apace, his kindness did not waver, and to do a friend this favour, and round the little tree he cleared a tidy space.
於是，湯姆揮動他的斧子。為幫助朋友，他義不容辭!他在小樹的周圍開辟出了壹片幹凈的地方。
Poor Sapling! Not for long his triumph lasted, the heat came first, his sap to drain, and then he was lashed with hail and rain, and last a dreadful storm, which left him quite dismasted!
可憐的小樹!好景不長，先是酷熱降臨，吸走了它的汁液。接著它又遭受了暴雨和冰雹的襲擊，最後壹場致命的風暴把它的枝葉都打折了!
?Oh foolish one,?heard by a serpent,?it was you that brought about your fall.
?傻瓜!?它聽到附近的壹條蛇說道，?妳是自作自受!
If longer in the wood's kind shelter you'd been reared, then neither heat nor wind your calm could so importune: you had the elder trees for guardians of your fortune, and if there came a time when all had disappeared, because their day was past and gone.
如果妳在養育妳的老樹懷抱裏待更長的時間，無論炎炎烈日還是狂風大作，妳都可以在老樹的庇護下安然度日。如果有壹天那些老樹都離開了這個世界，隨著時間的流逝，妳也長到它們那樣的高度了。
In turn you might have reached such height, as years went on, and so much health and strength have gathered. That all this harm would never have been done, and fiercer storms than this you might have safely weathered.?
妳也變得像它們那樣強壯有力，那樣即使比這更大的風暴，妳也可以挺過去，而不會是今天這樣的結果。?
