小豬搬西瓜

　　The pig & Watermelon

　　In spring, the mother pig took the little pig LuLu to the foot of the mountain. They planted some watermelon.

　　When summer came, there were many big round watermelons in the field.

　　One day, the sun was burning like a fire, it was terribly hot on the ground. The mother pig said to the little pig:"Lulu, go to the field to pick a watermelon back,ok?" Lulu said happily:"Ok! No problem."

　　Then he ran to the watermelon field. When he got to the field, he was happy to find so many big green watermelons. He chose one of the biggest watermelon and picked it from the vine. Then he held it with his hands trying to lift is on his shoulder to carry it home.

　　"Wow!It's so heavy!" Lulu tried several times, but he failed. And he was socked with sweat. He wiped his sweat off and decided to have a rest.

　　Suddenly he saw the monkey Pipi. He was playing with a hoop. Lulu patted his head and said:"I've got it." He thought,the round hoop can roll, the watermelon round too,then it can roll too.He then put the big melon on the ground and rolled it forward quickly.

　　At last he got home with the watermelon.The mother pig knew the story, she exclaimed:"My child, you're really clever!"

　　春天的時(shí)候，豬媽媽帶著小豬嚕嚕，在山坡下種了一大片西瓜。到了夏天，西瓜地里結(jié)滿了又圓又大的西瓜。

　　有一天，太陽光火辣辣地照著大地，天啊，可熱了。豬媽媽對小豬說：“嚕嚕，你到咱們的地里摘個(gè)大西瓜回來解解渴吧!”小豬嚕嚕高興地說：“好吧!”說完就往西瓜地里跑。到了地里一看。呵，到處躺著大西瓜，水靈靈的，真惹人喜愛!嚕嚕挑了個(gè)最大的摘了下來。它雙手摟著西瓜，想抱起來放在肩上扛回家。“喲，好重呀!”嚕嚕試著抱了幾次都沒有抱起來，還累得滿頭大汗。 它直起身來，擦了擦臉上的汗水想休息一下，再去試試抱西瓜。突然，它看到小猴皮皮在山下邊的馬路上滾鐵環(huán)玩呢。小豬嚕嚕一拍后腦勺高興地說：“有了，我有辦法了。”什么辦法呢?小豬嚕嚕心想：鐵環(huán)是圓的，可以滾動。西瓜也是圓的，不也可以滾動嗎?想到這兒啊，小豬嚕嚕顧不上休息，把大西瓜放在地上。咕嚕嚕，咕嚕嚕地向前滾，一直把西瓜滾到家里。

　　豬媽媽看到小豬嚕嚕把又圓又大的西瓜搬回家，夸獎嚕嚕是個(gè)愛動腦筋的豬娃娃!

　　Pandora

　　After the stealing of fire,Zeus became increasingly unkind to men.One day he ordered his son Hephaestus tobuild an image of a beautiful maiden out of clay.He then asked the gods and goddesses to award her with different kinds of gifts.Among others,Athena clothed her in an attractive coat and Hermes gave her the power of telling lies.A charming young lady,she was the first woman that ever lived.Zeus called her Pandora.Because she had received from each of the gods and goddesses a gift.The gift was harmful to men.

　　Zeus decided to send her down to men as a present.So Hermes them essenger brought her to Epimetheus,brother of Prometheus.The greatness of her beauty touched the hearts of all who looked upon her,and Epimetheus happily received her into his house.He had quite forgotten Pometheus' warning:never to accept anything from Zeus.The couple lived a happy life for some time.Then trouble came on to the human world.

　　When he was busy with teaching men the art of living,Prometheus had left a bigcask in the care of Epimetheus.He had warned his brother not to open the lid.Pandora was a curious woman.She had been feeling very disappointed that her husband did not allow her to take a look at the contents of the cask.One day,when Epimetheus was out,she lifted the lid and out itcame unrest and war,Plague and sickness,theft and violence, grief sorrow,and all the other evils.The human world was hence to experience these evils.Only hope stayed within the mouth of the jar and never flew out.So men always have hope within their hearts.

　　潘多拉

　　偷竊天火之后,宙斯對人類的敵意與日俱增。一天,他令兒子赫菲斯托斯用泥塑一美女像,并請眾神贈予她不同的禮物。其中,雅典娜飾之以華麗的衣裳,赫耳墨斯贈之以說謊的能力。世上的第一個(gè)女人是位迷人女郎,因?yàn)樗龔拿课簧耢`那里得到了一樣對男人有害的禮物,因此宙斯稱她為潘多拉(pander:意為煽動)。

　　宙斯決定把她作為禮物送給世間的男子。于是信使赫耳墨斯將她帶給普羅米修斯的弟弟厄庇墨透斯。她姿容絕美,見者無不為之傾心。厄庇墨透斯興高采烈地把她迎入屋內(nèi)。普羅米修斯警告過他不得接受宙斯的任何饋贈,而他已將之忘于腦后。這一對夫妻有過一段幸福的生活,但不久災(zāi)難卻降臨人間。

　　當(dāng)普羅米修斯忙于教授人們生存之道的時(shí)候,他把一個(gè)桶托付給厄庇墨透斯。他警告過他的弟弟不要打開桶蓋。潘多拉好奇心強(qiáng)。她的丈夫不允許她看桶中之物,這使她感到十分懊惱。一天乘厄庇墨透斯出門在外,她打開桶蓋,從桶里跑出的是不和與戰(zhàn)爭,瘟疫與疾病,偷竊與暴力,悲哀與憂慮,以及其他一些人類從此要遭受的不幸。只有希望被關(guān)在桶口,永遠(yuǎn)飛不出來,因此人們常常把希望藏于心中。
