英語故事：The roc 巨鳥

　　There was once a bird called the roc, whose back was as big as Mount Tai and whose wings were like clouds that overspread the heaven.

　　When it wheeled up into the air a whirlwind arose, and in each flight it covered ninety thousand li, flying above the mistyvapours under the sky, to the Southern Ocean.

　　Where can it be going? Wondered a bird with a laugh, "I once flew into the sky, then come down to enjoy myself among the bushes. That's good enough for me. Where else does it want to go?"

　　Here we see the difference in outlook between great and small.

　　從前有一只鳥叫巨鳥，它的背像泰山一樣龐大，它的翅膀像云一樣覆蓋了整個天空。

　　每當它盤旋在空中，就會帶來一陣旋風，它一次奮飛9萬里，翱翔在藍天霧海，直到南海。

　　“它能飛到哪里去?”一只鳥笑著發(fā)問，“我也曾擊翅長空，可我貪戀萬綠從中的安逸，又落翅而返。對我來說已經(jīng)足夠了，可巨鳥究竟想飛向何方?”

　　由此，我們可以看出偉大與渺小之間的差異。
