The Bear, the Tall Man and the Short Man
One day a short man saw a tall man on a bridge. “Where are you going?” asked the tall man. “I’m going to the city,” said the short man. “I’m going to the city, too,” said the tall man. “How are you going to get there?” “I’m going to go on this road,” said the short man. “I know a way through the forest,” said the tall man. “But there are lots of bears in the forest,” said the short man. “We can go together,” said the tall man.So the short man and the tall man walked through the forest.
小 荷 作文网 www.zww.cn 一天，一位矮男人在一座桥上遇见一位高男人。
“你要去哪里？”高男人问。
“我要去某城市。”矮男人说。
“我也要去那城市，”高男人说，“你怎么去呢？”
“我会走这条路。”矮男人说。
“我知道一条路要穿过森林。”高男人说。
“但是森林里有好多熊。”矮男人说。
“我们可以一起去。”高男人说。
于是矮男人和高男人就进入了森林。
After a time, they heard a noise. “What’s that?” asked the short man. “I think it’s a bear,” said the tall man. “I’m afraid,” said the short man. “Don’t worry,” said the tall man. “I know what to do.” So they walked on and again they heard a noise. “I know that’s a bear,” said the short man. “Don’t worry,” said the tall man. “I know what to do.”
过了一会，他们听到了一个声音。
“那是什么？”矮男人问。
“我想是一只熊。”高男人说。
“我害怕。”矮男人说。
“不要担心，”高男人说，“我知道该怎么做。”
他们走了一会儿，又听到了一个声音。
“我知道那是一只熊。”矮男人说。
“不要担心，”高男人说，“我知道该怎么做。”
Later on they heard a noise again. This time it was a ROAR. “Look! I can see a bear,” said the short man. “So can I,” said the tall man. “But it doesn’t see us.” “What can we do?” asked the short man. “Let’s climb this tree,” said the tall man and he climbed quickly up into the tree.
后来，他们听见了一个声音，是一声吼叫。
“看，我看见一只熊了。”矮男人说。
“我也看见了，”高男人说，“但是它没有看见我们。”
“我们该怎么办？”矮男人问。
“我们一起爬这棵树。”高男人说，他很快爬上了那棵树。
But the short man couldn’t climb the tree. “Please help me,” he called. But the tall man was silent. The bear roared again. “Oh no!” thought the short man. “What can I do? I can’t run away or the bear will see me and eat me.” So he was very still and he was very quiet.After a time the bear came. It saw the short man. It walked round him, but the short man didn’t move. The bear walked round the short man again, but he still didn’t move. Finally, the bear went away.
但矮男人不会爬树。“请帮帮我。”他喊。但高男人没吭声。熊又吼叫了一声。
“噢，不！”矮男人想，“我该怎么办？如果我逃脱不了，熊发现我会吃了我的。”于是他保持平静。过了一会儿，熊来了。它看见了矮男人，绕了他一圈。但矮男人不动，熊又绕了一圈，矮男人还是不动。熊终于走了。
The short man looked up into the tree. The tall man came down. “What happened?” he asked. “That bear walked round you.” “Yes, he did,” said the short man. “What did he say?” asked the tall man.
矮男人朝树上看了看。高男人下来了。
“发生了什么事？”他问，“那只熊绕着你走了几圈。”
“是的，是绕着我走了几圈。”矮男人说。
“它说什么了？”高男人问。
“Well,” said the short man. “The bear said, ‘He is a very tall man but he is not a very good friend.’”
“这么回事，”矮男人说，“熊说：‘他是位很高的男人，但是他不是位很好的朋友。’”
Remember:
A real friend will help you when you are in trouble.
