水牛buffalo[英]['bʌfələʊ] [美][ˈbʌfəˌlo] 中英文小故事：水牛和老虎 曾经有一个农夫，养了一头水牛，他让水牛帮他在地里干活。一天，农夫对水牛说：“你真是又迟钝又懒惰，看看老虎，他多强壮，多敏捷啊。” 水牛很生气，说：“主人，你带我去找老虎，我们比比看谁更强壮。” 他的主人只是放声大笑，不过还是同意了带水牛去见老虎。当老虎看见水牛的时候，老虎很髙兴，自言自语道：“今天我可以吃水牛肉啦！” 水牛对老虎说：“老虎先生，我的主人觉得你比我强壮。我们看看他说的对不对。我可以让你咬我三次，但作为交换，你必须让我顶你三次。” 老虎同意了，水牛立即在泥地里翻了个滚，浑身都沾满了泥和树叶。 然后水牛对老虎说：“老虎先生，我准备好了。”老虎猛扑在水牛身上，但他咬不透水牛厚厚的皮和他身上的泥。水牛对老虎说：“好了，现在轮到我了。” 接着水牛一角就把老虎顶倒了，第二角就把老虎顶死了。农夫看到这一切，大为惊讶。从那以后，他就开始善待水牛了。 The Buffalo and the Tiger There was once a farmer who had a buffalo who was made to work in the field.
