　　 眼见为实

　　One day the king of animals asked a cat to see how his palace was built. After a few hours, the little cat came back and said to the tiger, “Oh, your palace is very large, tall and beautiful. ”Several days later the tiger asked a pig to see it. He said, “Go and see how my palace is built. ”But when the pig came back, he said to the tiger, “My dear king, I thought your palace is beautiful, but it suits yourself only. ”

　　The tiger was very surprised when he heard it. “Why are the cat’s and the pig’s answers not the same? ”he said to himself. He then asked a camel to go to have a look. Before long the camel ran back out of breath and said to the tiger, “Oh, your palace is too small for you to live in, my king. ”

　　The king became very angry when he heard what the camel said. He said to the animals angrily, “Maybe somebody of you tell lies. Three people have three ideas. I want to kill you. ”Just at the moment, a fox came out to stop the tiger from doing that. He asked the tiger himself to go to see it before killing them.

　　After the tiger saw the palace himself, he thought that their answers were all right. He said to the animals, “To see with one’s own eyes is more important than only to hear others. ”

　　眼见为实

　　一天，百兽之王让一只小猫去看看他的宫殿建造得怎么样。几个小时之后，小猫回来了，对老虎说：“您的宫殿非常大，又高又漂亮。”几天后，老虎又让一只猪去看看。他说：“去看看我的宫殿建造得如何。”但是，猪回来之后却对老虎说：“亲爱的国王陛下，虽然您的宫殿很漂亮，但是它只容得下您自己。”

　　老虎听到这些话感到很吃惊。“为什么猫和猪说的话不一样呢？”老虎自语着。然后他又让一头骆驼去看一看。骆驼很快便气喘吁吁地跑回来了，它对老虎说：“我的国王，您的宫殿对于您来说，实在是太小了，都没法住。”当老虎听到骆驼所说的话时，变得非常生气。他生气地对动物们说：“你们三个人中有人说谎了，三个人有三个看法。我要处死你们。”就在这时，一只狐狸过来阻止老虎那样做。他请求老虎在杀他们之前，自己亲自去看看。老虎亲自看完宫殿后，认为他们的答案都是对的。他对动物们说：“眼见为实，耳听为虚。”

　　 The clever rabbit （聪明的兔子）

　　The wolf and the fox want to eat the rabbit, but it wasn't easy to catch him.

　　One day the wolf says to the fox, "You go home and lie in bed. I'll tell the rabbit that you are dead. When he comes to look at you, you can jump up and catch him." That's a good idea," says the fox.

　　The fox goes home at once. The wolf goes  to the rabbit's house and knocked at the door. "Who is it?" asks the rabbit. "It's the wolf. I come to tell you that the fox is dead." Then the wolf goes away.

　　The rabbit goes to the fox's house. He looked in through the window and sees the fox lying in bed with his eyes closed. He thinks, "Is the fox really dead or is he pretending  to be dead? If he's not dead, he'll catch me when I go near him." so he said, "The wolf says that the fox is dead. But he doesn't look like a dead fox. The mouth of a dead fox is always open." When the fox hears this, he thinks, "I'll show him that I'm dead." So he opened his mouth.

　　The rabbit knows that the fox isn't dead, and he rans away quickly.

　　译文：

　　狼和狐狸想要吃掉兔子，但是这只兔子太难抓到了。

　　一天，狼对狐狸说：“你回家假装躺在床上。我去告诉兔子你已经死了。当他来看你的时候，你就可以跳起来抓住他了。”“真是个好主意！”狐狸说。

　　于是他立刻回到家。狼去兔子的房前敲了敲门，“是谁啊？”兔子问道。“狼，我是来告诉你狐狸已经死了。”说完狼就走开了。

　　兔子去狐狸家看情况。他通过狐狸家的窗户看到闭着眼睛的狐狸躺在床上。他想，狐狸是真的死了，还是在假装呢？如果他没有死，那么我走近他就会被他抓住。于是他说：“狼说狐狸死了。但是他看起来并不像死掉了呀。死去的狐狸通常都是张着嘴的。”狐狸听到这些话就想：我得证明自己是真的死了。于是他张开了嘴巴。

　　这时兔子知道狐狸并没有死，他就以最快的速度跑开啦。

　　 The First Snow （初雪）

　　The first snow came．How beautiful it was，falling so silently all day long，all night long，on the mountains，on the meadows，on the roofs of the living，on the graves of the dead. All white save the river，that marked its course by a winding（缠，绕） black line across the landscape（风景，山水画）；and the leafless trees，that against the leaden（沉闷的）sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and intricacies of their branches．What silence，too，came with the snow，and what seclusion（隔离）! Every sound was muffled（蒙住, 压抑），every noise changed to some thing soft and musical．No more tramping（踏，践） hoofs（蹄），no more rattling wheels.Only the chiming of sleigh(雪橇)－bells，beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children．

　　译文：

　　初雪飘飘，真美啊！它整日整夜静静地飘着，落在山岭上，落在草地上，落在生者的屋顶上，落在死者的坟墓上！在一片白茫茫之中，只有河流在美丽的画面上勾画出一道弯弯曲曲的黑线；还有那光秃秃的树木，映衬着灰蒙蒙的天空，更显得枝丫交错，姿态万千。初雪飘落时，是多么的静谧，多么的安详！一切的声响都趋沉寂，一切噪音都化作柔和的音乐。没有了嗒嗒的马蹄声，也听不见滚滚的车轮声！只有雪橇的铃铛奏出和谐的乐曲，那明快欢乐的节奏像孩子的心在跳动。
