少兒英語(yǔ)故事：金絲雀與蝙蝠

金絲雀與蝙蝠

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

掛在窗口籠里的金絲雀，經(jīng)常在鳥(niǎo)兒睡著的夜里歌唱。

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

一天晚上，蝙蝠來(lái)了，飛過(guò)來(lái)問(wèn)她為什么白天安靜無(wú)聲，夜里卻要歌唱。

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.”

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

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

蝙蝠說(shuō)：“你現(xiàn)在才懂得謹(jǐn)慎已沒(méi)用了，你若在變?yōu)榍敉街熬投?，那該多好?”說(shuō)完就飛走了。
