云雀lark[英][lɑ:k] [美][lɑrk] 中英文小故事：蛇和云雀 蛇对云雀说：“你能在空中高飞，但你无法到大地深处探幽,生命的元气会在那里涌动。” 云雀则答道:“是啊,你无所不通，而且你的智慧无与伦比,只可惜——你不会飞翔！” 蛇似乎没把云雀的话放在心上，继续说道：“你见不到蕴藏于深处的奥秘，无缘在地下王国的宝藏中蠕动。就在昨天，我还在一个红宝石洞里栖身,那里最微弱的光线也会将宝石映照得如火红的玫瑰：除我之外，谁能有幸一睹这些奇观呢？” 云雀说：“是呀,只有你能匍匐于宝藏之中，可惜你不会唱歌!” 蛇说:“我还知道有一种神秘的植物，谁若食用它,就会变得美若天仙 云雀说:“唯有你才能揭示大地万物的奥妙,可惜——你不会飞翔! ” 蛇说：“一座大山的底下，有一股紫色的泉水，谁若饮用此水就会变得和神灵一样长生不老。我确信,没有鸟知道这股紫色的泉水。” 云雀说:“您可以和神灵一样长生不老，可惜——你不会唱歌。” 蛇说：“我还知道有一座埋在地下的圣殿,它是由一个早被遗忘的巨人部落所建成的，墙壁上的碑文是从远古时代流传下来的，谁若阅读此铭文就能博古通今、无所不知。” 云雀说:“你是可以知晓天地古今的一切知识,可惜——你不会飞翔！ ” 现在蛇终于厌烦了，他掉头钻进自己的洞穴，生气地咕哝道:“跟这种白痴的动物说话真没意思!” 云雀也唱着歌飞走了 ： “可惜你不会唱歌！大学士，可惜你也不会飞翔! ” The Snake and the Lark A snake said to a lark,“You can fly high up there,but you cannot explore the depths of the earth. There is so much vitality of life there.” The lark answered,“You can crawl everywhere on the ground and your wisdom is incomparable. It’s just a pity you cannot fly.” The snake was not bothered by the bird's remark. He said,“You cannot see the mysteries down here. You have no chance to crawl to the buried treasure underground. Just yesterday,I was inside a cave full of gems. The faintest light would make the gems shine like red roses. No one else will have the luck to see this marvelous spectacle.” The lark said,“ You are right,only you can creep around such treasure. It s just too bad you cannot sing! ” The snake said, “I know there is a very special plant. Whoever eats it will become beautiful. ” The lark said,“Only you can discover the secrets of the earth. But it’s pity you cannot fly! ” The snake said，“ At the bottom of a mountain，there is a purple river. Whoever drinks the water will have long life like the deities. I am sure that none of the birds know about this purple river. The lark said，“You may be able to Live a long life like the deities,but it’s too bad you cannot sing!” The snake said,“I also know there is an underground sacred place. It was built by a forgotten giant tribe. The wall has inscriptions from ancient times. Whoever reads the scriptures will be able to understand the past and the present. He could become omniscient. ” The lark said，“You may contain all the knowledge from the past until now. It’s just a pity that you cannot fly.” The snake was fed up with the lark by now. He went back to the cave,muttering angrily，“ There’s no point talking to this silly creature! ” The lark said，“It，s a pity you cannot sing，great scholar! It’s too bad you cannot fly!” 中英文例句 1.
