童話故事：金絲雀與蝙蝠（中英文對照版）

A bird was confined in a cage outside a window. She often sang at night when all other birds were asleep.

One night a bat came. He asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night.

The bird answered, “Last year when I was singing in the daytime, a bird catcher heard my voice and caught me in his net.Since then I have never sung by day.”

The bat replied, "But it is useless to do this now that you have become a prisoner." Then he flew away.

金絲雀與蝙蝠

掛在窗口籠里的金絲雀，經(jīng)常在鳥兒睡著的夜里歌唱。

一天晚上，蝙蝠來了，飛過來問她為什么白天安靜無聲，夜里卻要歌唱。

金絲雀回答說：“去年我在白天唱歌時，捕鳥人聽到我的歌聲抓住了我。從此，我再也不在白天唱歌了。”

蝙蝠說：“你現(xiàn)在才懂得謹(jǐn)慎已沒用了，你若在變?yōu)榍敉街熬投茫窃摱嗪醚?”說完就飛走了。
