　　守株待兔

　　Once upon a time, there was a farmer.One day, while he was working in the fields, he saw ahare run into a tree stump accidentally and die of a broken neck.

　　從前,，有一個(gè)農(nóng)夫。一天,，在他耕田的時(shí)候，忽然跑過(guò)來(lái)一只野兔,，恰好碰在一個(gè)樹(shù)樁上,，脖子折斷死了。

　　The farmer took the hare home and cooked a delicious meal for himself.

　　農(nóng)夫把兔子拾回家去,，美美地吃了一頓兔肉,。

　　That night he thought: "I needn't work so hard. All I have to do is wait every day by the stump to pick up the hare that runs into it."

　　當(dāng)晚，他就想：“我何必辛辛苦苦的種地呢?每天在樹(shù)樁旁等著撿撞死的野兔就好了”,。

　　So from then on he gave up farming, and stood by the tree stump waiting for the hare to come and run into it.

　　于是他從此不再耕種,，每天在樹(shù)樁旁等待野兔的到來(lái)。

　　But from then on, he never saw another hare run into the tree stump.

　　但是,，從那以后,，他再?zèng)]有發(fā)現(xiàn)一只野兔撞在樹(shù)樁上。

　　A farm wanted to eat good food every day, but he didn’t like working. He often went to other farmer’s homes. When they ate1, he ate with them, so the farms didn’t like him.

　　有一個(gè)農(nóng)夫每天都想著吃好吃的東西,，但是他卻不喜歡勞動(dòng),。他經(jīng)常去別人家，如果趕上別人正在吃飯,，他就和別人一塊吃,，所以農(nóng)夫們都不喜歡他。

　　One day, he saw a hare running down the hill. The hare knocked against2 a tree in his field, broke its neck and fell dead. The farmer was so happy. “Great!” he went to the tree and got the dead hare, and went home with it.

　　一天,，他看見(jiàn)一只野兔從山上跑下來(lái),。野兔他田里的一棵樹(shù)上，折斷脖子死了,。農(nóng)夫太高興了,。“太好了!”他走過(guò)去撿起了野兔就回家了,。

　　That day, he ate a lot. He thought that the meat of the hare was very nice. The next day, he put down3 his hoe, and waited by the tree for a second hare to turn up4. He waited all day long, but no hare come at all.

　　那天,，他吃了很多飯。他覺(jué)得野兔的肉太好吃了,。第二天,，他放下鋤頭，在樹(shù)旁等第二個(gè)野兔出現(xiàn),。他整整等了一天,，但是根本沒(méi)有野兔來(lái)。

　　點(diǎn)睛：總想不勞而獲的人,，最終什么也得不到,。
