旅行者traveller[英]['trævələ(r)] [美][ˈtræv(ə)lər] 中英文小故事：旅行者和梧桐树 老天爷久旱不雨，大地一片干燥。 两个来自远方的旅人，正走在一条乡间路上。他们又热又疲劳，不时抹汗。其中一个旅人说：“我真希望这里有个湖，让我们跳进水里泡个痛快！ ” “说的也是，”另一个旅人说，“太阳就快把我的皮肤烤焦了，我们还是先找个地方歇歇吧！ ” “对呀！也该休息一下了。可是这里一片荒凉，哪有供休息的亭子啊？ ” “嗯……那里有一棵梧桐树，我们就到树荫下乘凉吧！ ” “唔！至少小睡片刻也好。” 两个旅人拖着疲惫不堪的步伐，来到梧桐树下。梧桐树的枝桠长满绿油油的叶子，向四面伸展，像把大伞，在地面投下很大的阴影。 旅人卸下背包，伸长了脚，躺下来休息。他们终于躲过太阳的煎熬了。 其中一人看看梧桐树若有所思。他说：“你瞧这棵树长得多高大啊！只可惜，它不会开花结果，要不然我们就有果子可解渴啦！ ” “说的没错，”另一人附和道，“这棵树真没用， 不但不会长果子，而且它落下的叶子还把地上弄得乱糟糟的” 此时，梧桐树听了旅人的话，生气地摇晃着枝桠，说：“你们这两个忘恩负义的家伙！要不是我，你们能够在树荫下乘凉吗？我只是不能结果实给你们解渴 就把我批评得一无是处，真是太可恶了！ ” 两个旅人吓得逃跑了。 故事哲理： 对于别人給予的协助，应该要感激，而不该嫌弃和批评。 The Ungrateful Travellers There was once a drought in a village. The weather was very hot, and it had not rained for a long time. Two men were travelling one day. They were feeling very thirsty and tired because the weather was very hot. The travellers looked for a place to rest. Soon they came to the village. “There is a big and shady tree over there,” said one of the travellers. “Let’s rest in the shade.” They walked over to the tree. It was cool and shady under the tree. The travelers were pleased to sit under the tree. “This tree is big and shady,” said one traveller. “What a pity it has no fruit! Otherwise we could eat the fruit to quench our thirst.” “Yes, this is a useless tree,” said the other traveller. “Its leaves fall to the ground and dirty the place，’ The tree was very angry when it heard what the travellers were saying. It shook its branches fiercely and said, “You two are ungrateful. You say that I am useless just because I don’t bear fruit. Yet you are resting in my shade!” When the travellers heard this, they were very scared. They quickly ran away. We should always be grateful for whatever little we receive. 中英文例句 1.
