今天分享的是一篇英語美文——友誼的顏色。
The Color of Friendship
友誼的顏色
Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. All claimed that they were the best. The most important. The most useful. The favorite.
從前,世界上的各種顏色進(jìn)行過一次爭吵。每一種顏色都說自己是最好的,最重要的,最有用的,和最討人喜歡的。
Green said:"Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."
綠色說:“顯然,我是最重要的。我是生命和希望的標(biāo)志。我被選作青草,樹木以及葉子的顏色。沒有了我,所有的動物都會死去。展望田野吧,你會看到,到處都有我?!?br />
Blue interrupted:"You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."
藍(lán)色打斷了它的話:“你只考慮了地上,想想天空和海洋吧。水才是生命的基礎(chǔ)呀,云彩把水分從深邃的大海帶到了天空。沒有我的和平,你們將不復(fù)存在?!?br />
Yellow chuckled: "You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, and the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."
黃色咯咯地笑出了聲:“你們都太嚴(yán)肅了。我給這個世界帶來了笑聲、歡樂和溫暖。太陽是黃色的,月亮是黃色的,星星是黃色的,每一次你看向日葵的時候,整個世界都開始?xì)g笑。沒有我就沒有快樂?!?br />
Orange started next to blow her trumpet: "I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and papayas. I don't hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."
橙色馬上開始自吹自擂:“我可是健康和力量的顏色。我可能比較稀少,但是我非常寶貴,因為我滿足了人們生活的需要。我攜帶了大多數(shù)重要的維他命。想想胡羅卜、南瓜、柑橘、芒果和番木瓜。我并不經(jīng)常出沒在天空,但日出或日落我在天際登場時,我的美麗足以驚世,沒有人還會想起你們?!?br />
