THE PINE CATERPILLAR
松毛蟲
Jean Henri Fabre
作者：讓·亨利·法布爾
Nature has stories to tell—the story of the beaver, the story of the strange flights of birds, and countless others. Jean Henri Fabre, a French school teacher, spent many, many hours of his life listening to Nature’s stories. Then he began to write of what he had learned, and he became famous for his books about butterflies, grasshoppers, bees, and other insects.
大自然有故事可講——海貍的故事，鳥兒奇怪飛行的故事，還有無數(shù)其他的故事。讓·亨利·法布爾是一名法國教師，他一生中花了很多很多時間聽大自然的故事。然后他開始寫他學過的東西，他因為寫關(guān)于蝴蝶、蚱蜢、蜜蜂和其他昆蟲的書而出名。
You hungry little caterpillars, if I let you have your way, I should soon be robbed of the murmur of my once leafy pine trees. But I am going to make a bargain with you. You have a story to tell. Tell it to me; and for a year, for two years or longer, until I know more or less about it, I will leave you undisturbed.
你們這些饑餓的小毛毛蟲，如果我讓你們?yōu)樗麨椋液芸炀蜁粍儕Z我那曾經(jīng)枝繁葉茂的松樹發(fā)出的嗡嗡聲。但我要和你做個交易。你有故事要講。告訴我吧；一年，兩年或更久，直到我或多或少地了解它，我將不打擾你。
