从前，有一群青蛙比赛长跑，目标是到达一座高塔的顶端。 许多人都来观看比赛，给它们加油。比赛开始了，但事实上人们并不相信青蛙能够到达高塔的顶端,因而青蛙听到的都是诸如此类的话：“多辛苦啊！它们肯定爬不到顶的！ ”于是，除了一只青蛙还在继续爬之外,其他的青蛙开始一个一个地退出比赛。人们还是说：“多辛苦啊！它们肯定爬不到顶的!” 于是,除了那只一直坚持的青蛙，所有的青蛙都接受了失败。最后，青蛙大都退出了比赛，只有那只青蛙独自费了老大的劲爬到了塔顶。其他的青蛙都想知道它是如何爬到塔顶的。有一只跳过去想问是什么支撑它完成了比赛，却惊讶地发现它原来是个……聋子！ The Allegory of the Frog Once upon a time there was a race of frogs. The goal was to reach the top of a high tower. Many people gathered to see and support them. The race began. In reality, the people probably didn’t believe that it was possible that the frogs reached the top of the tower,and all the phrases that they could hear were of this kind，“What pain! They’ll never make it!”The frogs began to resign，except for one who kept on climbing. Then people continued，“ What pain! They’ll never make it! ” And the frogs admitted defeat, except for the frog who continued to insist. At the end,all the frogs quit, except the one who, alone and with and enormous effort, reached the top of the tower. The others wanted to know how he did it. One of them approached him to ask him how he had done it,to finish the race. And discovered that he...was deaf! |
