龟兔赛跑故事原版全文

The Tortoise and the Hare

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."

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

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

"Keep your boasting till you've won," 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 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.

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

龟兔赛跑故事译文

从前有一只兔子，他在其它动物面前吹嘘自己跑得是如何如何的快。“当我全速奔跑的时候，我从来没有被打败过，”他说，“谁敢跟我比一比?”

“我来跟你跑一场”，一只乌龟沉着地说。

“快笑死我了，” 兔子说，“我一边跑一边围着你跳舞都能赢你”。

“你跑赢了再吹牛吧”，乌龟说，“我们可以开始比赛了吗?”

于是，他们确定了一条比赛路线和起点。比赛开始，兔子是嗖的一声就跑得没影了，但他很快就停了下来。　为了让乌龟知道他并没把乌龟放在眼里，兔子决定睡上一觉再接着跑。　这时，乌龟正一点一点艰难地向前爬着。　当兔子一觉醒来，发现乌龟离终点已经很近了，要追已经赶不上了。

这时，乌龟说：“踏踏实实、一步步前进，你就会赢得比赛”。

有一天，兔子和乌龟比赛跑步，兔子嘲笑乌龟爬得慢，乌龟说：“总有一天我会赢的。”

兔子就轻蔑地说：“那我们现在就开始比赛!”

乌龟答应了，兔子大声喊道：“比赛开始!”

兔子飞快地跑着，乌龟拼命地爬着。

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，爬呀爬呀，到兔子那里的时候，它已经累得不行了，但乌龟想如果这时和兔子一样去休息，那比赛就不会赢了，所以乌龟继续地爬呀爬呀。

当兔子醒来的时候乌龟已经到达终点了。

龟兔赛跑故事点评

故事里的兔子太骄傲自大了，这是伊索寓言里面的一个小故事。这个故事告诉我们：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。
