蜗牛snail[英][sneɪl] [美][snel] 中英文小故事：小蜗牛 一只小蜗牛问妈妈：“为什么我生来就要背着一个又硬又重的壳呢?” 妈妈说:“我们没有骨骼来支撑身体，只能贴在地上慢慢爬行，所以要有个壳来保护自己啊。” 小蜗牛又问：“那毛毛虫也没有骨骼呀，爬得也不快，那它怎么就没有壳呢?” 蜗牛妈妈回答道：“那是因为毛毛虫会变成蝴蝶，然后就能飞上天去。高远的天空会保护它的 小蜗牛问个没完：“和我们一样爬行的蚯蚓既没有骨骼，也变不成蝴蝶,可它为什么就不用背个又硬又重的壳呢?” 蜗牛妈妈说：“那是因为蚯蚓会打洞啊，钻进土里就平安无事了。” 小蜗牛禁不住嚎啕大哭：“太不公平了！天高地大，怎么就没有我们的藏身之处啊！” 妈妈安慰道：“这就是咱们生来就有壳的原因呀，用不着上天入地来求得庇护，我们靠的是自我保护。因为只有自救,上帝才能救你。” Self-independence Is Important A baby snail asked his mother，“ Why was I bom with a shell that was so hard and heavy?” His mother said，“ Because we don’t have bones to support us. We can only crawl and move slowly, so we’ve got a shell to protect us. ” Her baby asked again，“The caterpillar has no bones either, so she can’t move quickly. Why can she do so without a shell?” The mother snail answered，“That’s because a caterpillar will become a butterfly. She flies high into the sky that can protect her. ” Her baby had another question，“ But the earthworm crawls like us. He has no l)ones, nor does he turn into a butterfly. Why doesn’t he carry a hard, heavy shell?” His mother said，“ He can drill a hole into the ground and be protected by it. ’’ The baby snail then burst into tears，“What a pity! We have no protection either from the sky or from the ground! ” His mother comforted him, “That’s why we're gifted with a shell. We needn’t count on the sky or the ground for protection. We rely on ourselves for God only saves those who know how to save themselves. 中英文例句 1.
