At the edge of the woods there was a pond, and there a minnow and a tadpole swam among the weeds. They were inseparable friends.
森林边有个水塘,水塘里有一条小鲤鱼和一只小蝌蚪。他们是形影不离的好朋友。
One morning the tadpole discovered that during the night he had grown two little legs.“Look” he said triumphantly. “Look, I am a frog!”“Nonsense,”said the minnow. “How could you be a frog if only last night you were a little fish, just like me!”
They argued and argued until finally the tadpole said,“Frogs are frogs and fish is fish and that's that!”
一天早上,小蝌蚪发现自己一夜间长出了两条小腿。“快看,快看,我是青蛙了。”小蝌蚪向小鲤鱼炫耀自己的腿。“胡说,你怎么可能变成青蛙呢,昨晚你还象我一样是条小鱼呢!”小鲤鱼说。他们争论不休,最后小蝌蚪说:“青蛙是青蛙,鱼是鱼,该是什么就是什么!”
In the weeks that followed, the tadpole grew tiny front legs and his tail got smaller and smaller.
接下来的几周里,小蝌蚪慢慢长出了两个小前腿,他的尾巴也越来越小。
And then one fine day, a real frog now, he climbed out of the water and onto the grassy bank.
最后,蝌蚪真变成了一只青蛙。他爬出了水面到了长满青草的岸上。
The minnow too had grown and had e a full-fledged fish. He often wondered where his four-footed friend had gone. But days and weeks went by and the frog did not return.
小鲤鱼渐渐长成了大鲤鱼。他常常思念那个离去的四条腿的朋友。但过了一天又一天,过了一周又一周,始终也没见青蛙回来。
Then one day, with a happy splash that shook the weeds, the frog jumped into the pond.“Where have you been?”asked the fish excitedly.“I have been about the world----hopping here and there,”said the frog,“and I have seen extraordinary things.”
一天,水花四溅,水草摇摆,青蛙兴高采烈跳回到了池塘。“你去过什么地方?”鲤鱼兴奋地问。
“我四处跑,去了很多想去的地方。我看到了很多稀奇古怪的东西。”青蛙说。
“Like what?”asked the fish.“Birds,”said the frog mysteriously. “Birds!” And he told the fish about the birds, who had wings, and two legs, and many, many colors.
As the frog talked, his friend saw the birds fly through his mind like large feathered fish. “What else?”asked the fish impatiently.
“看到什么了?”鲤鱼问。“鸟,”青蛙神秘地说。“有鸟!”他告诉鲤鱼,鸟有两个翅膀,有两条腿,而用有很多颜色。青蛙讲鸟飞的时候,鲤鱼满脑子是着长满羽毛的鱼。“还有呢?”鲤鱼迫不及待地问。
“Cows,”said the frog.“Cows! They have four legs, horns, eat grass, and carry pink bags of milk.”
“牛,还有牛!”青蛙说。”
