關於龜兔賽跑的英語故事

　　利用故事教授兒童外語在國外已經有很長的歷史了,在以英語、俄語、西班牙語、法語、德語等為目的語的外語教學中,都不乏運用故事法的例子。長期的教學實踐也證明這是一種卓有成效的方法。小編精心收集了，供大家欣賞學習!

　　篇1

　　The Hare was once boasting of his speed before other animals. "I have never been beaten," said he, "when I put forth my full speed. I challenge any one here to race with me."

　　從前有一隻兔子，他在其它動物面前吹噓自己跑得是如何如何的快。“當我全速奔跑的時候，我從來沒有被打敗過，”他說，“誰敢跟我比一比?”

　　The Tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge."

　　“我來跟你跑一場”，一隻烏龜沉著地說。

　　"That is a good joke," said the Hare; "I could dance round you all the way."

　　“快笑死我了，” 兔子說，“我一邊跑一邊圍著你跳舞都能贏你”。

　　"Keep your boasting till you've won," answered the Tortoise. "Shall we race?"

　　“你跑贏了再吹牛吧”，烏龜說，“我們可以開始比賽了嗎?”

　　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 the Tortoise, 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 just near the winning-post and could not run up in time to save the race.

　　於是，他們確定了一條比賽路線和起點。比賽開始，兔子是嗖的一聲就跑得沒影了，但他很快就停了下來。　為了讓烏龜知道他並沒把烏龜放在眼裡，兔子決定睡上一覺再接著跑。　這時，烏龜正一點一點艱難地向前爬著。　當兔子一覺醒來，發現烏龜離終點已經很近了，要追已經趕不上了。

　　Then the Tortoise said: "Slow but steady progress wins the race."

　　這時，烏龜說：“踏踏實實、一步步前進，你就會贏得比賽”。

　　篇2

　　It is a bright spring morning. A Tortoise walks by and meets a Rabbit.

　　Tortoise: Hi there, Mr. Rabbit. Beautiful day, isn’t it?

　　Rabbit: Aren’t you “the Slow Tortoise”?

　　The Tortoise is a little mad, but he doesn’t show it. The Tortoise still tries to be nice to the Rabbit.

　　Tortoise: Yes, I’m Mr. Tortoise. I’m happy to meet you. Let’s be friends.

　　Rabbit: No, thank you. I don’t want to be your friend.

　　Tortoise: How come?

　　Rabbit: Your legs are too short. You can’t jump. And you are too slow.

　　Tortoise: My legs may be short. And I may be slow. But I can still beat you in a race.

　　Rabbit: Ha!Ha!Ha! That’s funny! How can you beat me? I am much faster.

　　Tortoise: I can beat you for sure.

　　Rabbit: No, you can’t!

　　Tortoise: Yes, I can!

　　Rabbit: No, you can’t!

　　Tortoise: Yes, I can! Let’s have a race now. Then you’ll see.

　　Rabbit: Now? Okay! Why not? I will win for sure.

　　Tortoise: Let’s make a bet. If I win, you must carry me on your back.

　　Rabbit: I promise. But if I win, you must carry me.

　　Tortoise: Fine.

　　The other animals in the forest hear about the race and gather to see the Tortoise and the Rabbit run. The race is about to start.

　　Tortoise: See the mountain top?

　　Rabbit: Yes.

　　Tortoise: The first one to reach there, wins. Okay?

　　Rabbit: Okay.

　　The Fox is the starter.

　　Fox: Stand behind this line. Are you both ready?

　　Tortoise: Yes

　　Rabbit: Me too.

　　Fox: Okay. I’ll start the race. One! Two! Three! Go!

　　The Fox drops the white handkerchief and the race starts.The Rabbit is very fast and is already way ahead. The tortoise walks very slowly. The other animals are all cheering for the Tortoise. The Fox is worried about the Tortoise.

　　Fox: Poor Mr. Tortoise. He will lose for sure.

　　Goat: How do you know? Maybe he will win.

　　The Rabbit is already half way up the mountain. He is out of breath. He stops to look behind.

　　Rabbit: Where is the Tortoise? I can’t even see him. He is too slow for me. This is too easy.

　　The Rabbit decides to take a nap before the Tortoise comes.

　　Rabbit: I am a little tired. And I have a lot of time. So, I will take a nap here.

　　The Rabbit takes a nap. Even though the Tortoise is still far behind, he doesn’t stop or give up. He just walks and walks and walks.

　　Tortoise: I am tired, but I must go on. I must win the race. One, two. One, two.

　　The Rabbit falls asleep and continues to sleep for hours. The Tortoise is now at the middle of the mountain. He sees the Rabbit sleeping.

　　Tortoise: It’s Mr. Rabbit! Why is he sleeping here? He must be very tired. I am tired, too. But I must go on. One, two. One, two.

　　The mountain top is not too far away. The Tortoise is almost at the finish line. All the other animals are surprised.

　　Goat: Look! It’s the Tortoise!

　　Fox: Where’s the Rabbit?

　　Goat: Who knows? Come on, Mr. Tortoise! Go! Go! Go!

　　The tortoise takes one step, and another step, and another.

　　Tortoise: One, two. One, two. I’m almost there.

　　Just then, the Rabbit wakes up from his nap and is surprised. He realizes that he has slept too long. He sees the Tortoise near the mountain top. He runs, and runs, and runs, but it’s no use.

　　Rabbit: Faster! Faster! I must run faster!

　　Finally, the Tortoise reaches the mountain top first and wins the race.

　　Goat: Hooray! Hooray for Mr. Tortoise!

　　Fox: Congratulations, Mr. Tortoise! You won the race!

　　Tortoise: Thank you, thank you, everyone!

　　The Rabbit is too late. He feels ashamed.

　　Rabbit: Oh, no! I lost. Now I have to carry the Tortoise on my back.

　　The Rabbit goes to shake hands with the Tortoise.

　　Rabbit: Good race. Congratulations, Mr. Tortoise. You won the race.

　　Tortoise: I told you, I would win.

　　Rabbit: But how did you do it?

　　Tortoise: It wasn’t too hard. Just take one step after another. It may be slow, but you will get there for sure.

　　Rabbit: Oh…Now, I will keep my promise. Climb up on my back.

　　Tortoise: That’s okay. Let’s just be friends.

　　MORAL

　　Talent is of no use without effort.

　　篇3

　　In the forest, there is a fast rabbit. He likes to race other animals. He always wins. "I am very fast," he says. "I can win any race."

　　One day, the rabbit sees a turtle. "You are so slow. I am faster than you," he says. "Do you want to race me?"

　　"Yes," says the turtle. "Ha, ha. It will be easy to win," laughs the rabbit. "You will lose. Your legs are too short."

　　"Tomorrow we will have a race," says the rabbit. All of the animals are excited. They want to see the race. "The turtle will lose. He is too slow," they all say.

　　The turtle gets up early in the morning. The race is today. There are many animals at the race. The turtle walks to the starting line. All the animals laugh at him.

　　The rabbit is waiting for the turtle. "I will win," laughs the rabbit. "I will try my best," says the turtle.

　　The race begins. All of the other animals are excited. "Go, go, go," they say. The rabbit runs very quickly. The turtle walks slowly.

　　The rabbit turns around. The turtle is walking so slowly. "Ha, ha, you will never win this race," the rabbit says. The turtle is slower than the rabbit. The rabbit laughs at the turtle.

　　Then the rabbit sees a tree. "The turtle is so slow. I will take a nap. I can still win the race," says the rabbit. He goes to sleep under the tree.

　　The turtle keeps walking. He is tired and his legs hurt. The rabbit is sleeping under a tree. The turtle quietly walks past the rabbit. He is very quiet because he doesn't want to wake up the rabbit. "I can do it! I can do it!" says the turtle. "My legs are short and I am slow, but I can win this race." The turtle can see the finish line.

　　Suddenly, the rabbit wakes up. The turtle is far away. "He will win!" he says. The rabbit runs, but it is too late. The turtle wins the race.

　　"I am slow. I have short legs. I am not fast, but I did it!" says the turtle. The rabbit is quiet. He slowly walks home.
