Lesson 61

    The Hare and the Turtle

    The hare can run very fast, but the turtle can only walk slowly. One day the hare proudly challenged the turtle to a race. The hare started quickly but stopped to take a nap every now and then. The turtle walked slowly but surely. While the hare was sleep- ing, the turtle passed him. Finally, the turtle won the race. In the end, he was rewarded for his perseverance¹. We can all learn a lesson from the turtle.

    兔子与乌龟

    兔子可以跑得很快，但乌龟只能慢慢地走。有一天兔子骄傲地向乌龟挑战赛跑。兔子开始时跑得很快，但它偶尔会停下来小睡片刻。乌龟走得很慢但却走得很稳。当兔子在睡赏时，乌龟超过了兔子。乌龟终于赢了比赛。最后它因坚刃不拔的精神而获得回报。我们全都可以从乌龟那里得到一个好的教训。
