谁有伊索寓言——云雀和她的孩子的中英对照翻译?

Answer 1

The Lark and Her Young Ones
A LARK had made her nest in the early spring on the young green wheat.The brood had almost grown to their full strength and attained the use of their wings and the full plumage of their feathers,when the owner of the field,looking over his ripe crop,said,"The time has come when I must ask all my neighbors to help me with my harvest." One of the young Larks heard his speech and related it to his mother,inquiring of her to what place they should move for safety.
"There is no occasion to move yet,my son," she replied; "the man who only sends to his friends to help him with his harvest is not really in earnest."
The owner of the field came again a few days later and saw the wheat shedding the grain from excess of ripeness.He said,"I will come myself tomorrow with my laborers,and with as many reapers as I can hire,and will get in the harvest."
The Lark on hearing these words said to her brood,"It is time now to be off,my little ones,for the man is in earnest this time; he no longer trusts his friends,but will reap the field himself."
从前,有一只聪明的云雀,竟然在麦地里筑巢孵卵.麦子快要成熟时,她开始为自己的孩子担忧起来.要是麦子一收割,她们肯定会被发现,为了防患于未然,她每天早上外出觅食时,都叮嘱孩子们注意人们讲些什么,事先做好做好准备.
一天,她有外出找东西时,农夫来了,自言自语地说：“这些庄家该收割了,我这就去请邻居们帮忙.
云雀回来后,儿女们惊慌的讲了听到的话.她说：“孩子们,别害怕,要是农夫找邻居帮忙的话,还得等一段时间.
第二天,农夫带着儿子来到地里.环顾麦田后,说：“这些麦子熟透了,该动手收割了.好孩子,快去找邻居来帮忙.”“妈妈,我们现在该搬家了吧?”小鸟们问.“放心吧,孩子们,农夫的邻居们也有麦子要收割,他们指望不上的,不用急.”
第三天,农夫和儿子又来了.见麦子熟过劲儿,麦粒都开始往下落,就对儿子说：“你快去雇几个人,咱们明早就来割.
云雀听到这儿,就悄声对孩子们说；“咱们该走了,一个人要是不指望外人,自己动起手来,那肯定有办成的希望.”
