中英文小故事：三思而后行 —群猴子在山下拾核桃。 —只狐狸路过，惊叫起来：“唉，你们怎么在这里拾核桃呀丨”猴子们抬起头，迷惑不解: “山上的核桃大多了，而且越到山顶核桃越大丨”狐狸大声说。“你们真笨连这存小事都不懂。” 听到这话，猴子们都丢下手里的核桃，朝山上冲去。 猴子们争先恐后地往上爬，谁都想捡到最大的核桃。来到山顶，什么大的核桃连小核桃也没有，核桃掉下来都顺着山势滚到了山脚下。 猴子们气喘吁吁地坐在山顶，眼睁睁地看着山下的狐狸背着一大袋核桃走了。 Look Before You leap A group of monkeys are collecting walnuts at the foot of a hill. A fox walks by and exclaims, “Alas, why are you collecting walnuts here?” The monkeys raise their heads, feeling puzzled. “The walnuts on the hill are much bigger. And the higher you climb, the bigger they are!” the fox shouts, “You are so stupid that you even don，t know such a little thing.” Having heard this, the monkeys all cast off the walnuts in their hands and rush towards the top of the hill. They all vie with each other in climbing up the hill, eager to pick up the biggest ones. On reaching the top, they find there are no small walnuts at all, not to mention the big ones. The walnuts have all rolled down to the foot of the hill. Sitting on the hilltop, out of breath, the monkeys just watch the fox down there goes away with a huge bag of walnuts on his back. walnut 核桃 cast off 抛弃；摆脱 |
