1、英文译文

The Tortoise and the Hare

The hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. I

have never yet been beaten, said he, when I put forth my full speed. I

challenge anyone here to race with me.

The tortoise said quietly, I accept your challenge.

That is a good joke, said the hare. I could dance around you all the way.

Keep your boasting until youve beaten, answered the tortoise. Shall we race?

So a course was fixed and a start was made. The hare darted almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his contempt for thetortoise, lay down to have a nap. The tortoise plodded on and plodded on, and when the hare awoke from his nap, he saw the tortoise nearing he finish line, and he could not catch up in time to save the race.

2、中文原文

《龟兔赛跑》，是一则耐人寻味的寓言故事，故事中塑造了一只骄傲的兔子和一只坚持不懈的小乌龟。

中文原文大意：有一天，兔子和乌龟比赛跑步，兔子嘲笑乌龟爬得慢，乌龟说，总有一天他会赢。兔子说，我们现在就开始比赛。兔子飞快地跑着，乌龟拼命地爬，不一会儿，兔子与乌龟已经离的有很大一段距离了。

兔子认为比赛太轻松了，它要先睡一会，并且自以为是地说即使自己睡醒了乌龟也不一定能追上它。而乌龟呢，它一刻不停地爬行，当兔子醒来的时候乌龟已经到达终点了。此故事告诉大家：不可轻易小视他人。虚心使人进步，骄傲使人落后.要踏踏实实地做事情，不要半途而废，才会取得成功。
