鲸鱼whale[英][weɪl] [美][hwel, wel] 中英文小故事：兔子捉弄大象和鲸鱼 兔子喜欢到海边来，在那里他可以找到新鲜的海藻吃。 一天黄昏，当他来到海边时，忽然听到大象和鲸鱼谈话的声音。由于大象和鲸鱼谈话的声量很小，兔子无法听到他们谈话的内容。 “他们之间一定有不可告人的秘密。”兔子想。在好奇心的驱使下，兔子连忙躲在离大象不远的一块大石后面，希望可以清楚地听到他们的谈话内容。 鲸鱼对大象说：“你在陆上称霸，我则在海里称王。我们何不连成一线？凭我们的力量，必可征服整个世界，让地球上的所有生物都得听我们的。” 大象听了，也深表赞同。然后，大象回到森林里，鲸鱼也游回大海。 这时候，躲在大石后面的兔子深感不妙，便赶快跑回森林里。他召集了其他的动物，向他们说出鲸鱼和大象的阴谋。 “我们要阻止他们控制这个世界。”兔子说，“不过你们先别担忧，我有一个妙计。” 第二天，兔子拿了一条很长的粗绳去见鲸鱼。兔子站在海岸边，问：“仁慈的鲸鱼先生，你愿意帮助一只比你弱小的动物吗？ ” “当然愿意。”鲸鱼答道，“我长得这么壮大，帮助弱小只不过是举手之劳。你要我如何帮你呢？ ” “有只牛掉到河流附近的泥泞里，如今他陷在那里，无法脱身。”兔子说，“你可以把他拖出来吧，鲸鱼先生？ ” “没问题。”鲸鱼答道。 于是，兔子将粗绳的一端绑在鲸鱼的尾巴上。接下来，兔子说，“我会把绳子的另一端绑在牛的颈上。当我发出信号时，你就使劲地拉。” 鲸鱼点点头。 接着，兔子跑去见大象，也告诉他同样的事情。 大象也很乐意把陷在泥泞里的牛拖出来。于是兔子将绳子的另一端绑住大象的鼻子。 一切弄妥之后，兔子便跑到一个小山顶上。在那 里他向两只庞大的动物发出信号，让他们开始用力拉绳。兔子也叫其他的动物前来观看这场好戏。 信号一发，鲸鱼和大象便各自使劲儿拉着绳子的一端。 开始的时候，鲸鱼几乎被拖到岸上来，于是他连忙加把劲，使到大象几乎被拖到海边来。 他们俩就这样使劲儿拉扯着粗绳，却完全不知道 彼此拉着的是同一条绳子。 这时，鲸鱼猛地用力，大象就被拖到海边来了。 鲸鱼和大象碰上头，面面相觑，惊诧得说不出话来。 后来还是大象先开口了： “刚才一直是你在拉着绳子的那一端吗？ ” “没错。”鲸鱼说，“你为何又拉着另一端呢？是要向我展示你的力量？你以为你比我强吗？ ” 大象勃然大怒：“你拿我的力气开玩笑，还说风凉话！太可恶了！ ”说着，他又拼命地拉绳子。鲸鱼不甘示弱，也用力拉绳。两只动物再次展开激烈的拔河战。 忽然，“啪”的一声，绳子断了，大象和鲸鱼都失去了平衡，大象在岸上摔了一跤，而鲸鱼也在水中翻了个筋斗。 从那时起，鲸鱼和大象由朋友变成了敌人。 兔子见这计划成功地阻止了两只庞然大物连成一线，也感到欢喜异常。 The Rabbit Tricks the Elephant and the Whale The rabbit liked to go to the seaside. He could find a lot of fresh seaweed to eat there. He loved eating seaweed. One evening while he was at the seaside, he heard some voices. He looked around and saw the elephant and the whale talking. They were talking so softly that the rabbit could hardly hear what they were saying. “They must be sharing a secret，，，thought the rabbit. He became curious and quickly hid himself behind a big rock near the elephant. From there he could hear them more clearly. The rabbit listened to the two animals. The whale said to the elephant, “You are the strongest on land. I’m the strongest in the sea. Why don’t we unite? Then, together we can conquer the whole world. Everyone would listen to us.” The elephant was pleased with the whale’s suggestion. He agreed that it was a good idea. The rabbit was very angry. He wanted to prevent them from controlling the world. The rabbit quickly ran back into the jungle. He called all the other animals and told them about the whale and the elephant. “But don’t worry,” he added, “I have a plan.” He took a long, strong rope and went to see the whale at the seaside. “Mr Whale, can you help a poor weak animal?，， asked the rabbit. “Of course,” answered the whale. “I am very strong, so I can easily help a weak animal. How can I help?” “A cow fell into the mud near the river bank,” said the rabbit. “Now he is stuck and can’t get out. Could you pull him out, Mr Whale?” “All right,” answered the whale. The rabbit tied one end of the rope to the whale’s tail. Then he said, “I’ll tie the other end round the cow’s neck. When I give the signal, pull hard.” The whale agreed. Next, the rabbit went to see the elephant and told him the same thing. The elephant, too, agreed to help pull the cow out. The rabbit tied the other end of the rope to the elephant’s trunk. The rabbit then went to the top of a small hill. From there he gave the signal for the two animals to start pulling. He called the other animals to come and watch too. Both the whale and the elephant started pulling at the rope. They both pulled hard from each end. At first, the whale was almost pulled onto the seashore. Then he pulled hard at the rope and the elephant almost reached the seaside. They kept on pulling back and forth, not realizing what they were actually pulling. Then the whale gave one mighty tug and the elephant was pulled right onto the beach. The two animals stared at each other. They were so shocked that for a moment they could not speak. They could not believe what they were seeing. At last the elephant asked, “Was it you who was pulling that end of the rope?，， “Yes，，，answered the whale. “And why were you pulling the other end? Are you trying to show me that you are stronger? Who do you think you are?” The elephant grew very angry when he heard tthis. He thought the whale was making fun of his strength. He immediately began to pull the rope. The whale too started pulling at his end. Both animals pulled so hard that the rope broke in the middle. The two animals lost their balance and fell back. From that day onwards, the whale and the elephant became enemies. The rabbit was able to stop the two giants from being united and trying to conquer the world. 中英文例句 1.
