Danger sign 危險信號
Once upon a time, there was an old lion. He was very slow, and it was difficult for him to catch any animals. When he did catch one, it always got away. He was too weak to hold onto them.
Then he had an idea! He told all the other animals that he was sick. Then he lay down in a cave and waited. When the other animals came to visit him, he leaped up and ate them.
One day, an old and wise fox walked past the entrance to the cave. He called out to the lion and asked him how he was. "Bad," answered the hungry lion, "why don't you come in and visit me?"
But the wise fox sensed danger. He had noticed that there were many tracks going into the cave and none at all coming back out. "No, thanks," said the wise fox. "I have lived to be very old because I always see the signs of danger before it is too late."
從前,有一只老獅子。行動遲緩,想逮住任何動物都變得很難。當他好不容易逮到一只的時候,又常常被它們跑掉。只因為它太虛弱了,根本就抓不住它們。 它想了一個辦法。它告訴所有的動物它生病了。然后它就躺在山洞中等待著。當有動物進洞來看望它時,它就一躍而起并且吃掉它們。 一天,一只又老又狡猾的狐貍恰巧從洞口走過。它對著獅子大喊問它現在怎么樣了。“不好”饑餓的獅子回答道“為什么你不進來看看我呢?” 但是狡猾的狐貍感覺到了危險。它注意到有很多足跡是朝洞里走進去的,但是卻沒有任何足跡是走出來的。“不了,謝謝”,狡猾的狐貍說。“我能活這么久,全靠我在生死關頭能夠提前看到危險的信號。” Lie LIE Lie 這個動詞有兩個意思,一個意思是躺下,平臥,平放。 Mary lay down on the bed and took a nap.瑪麗躺下來午睡片刻。另一個意思是說謊 Tom likes to lie, so nobody trusts him.湯姆喜歡說謊,所以沒人信任他。小朋友們可能會奇怪,為什么我在文中沒有看到lie這個單詞呢?苑爸爸告訴你,這個單詞,在本文中是以過去式的形態出現的,它就是單詞Lay,LAY lay Then he lay down in a cave and waited.關于動詞時態的問題,屬于語法的范疇,等小朋友們開始系統的學習語法的時候,苑爸爸自然就會教你們啦。現在先不用著急,記住苑爸爸教你們的單詞和用法就可以啦。
