[00:07.93]很久很久以前，希臘有個國王，名叫邁達(dá)斯。 [00:11.36]He was a greedy man and loved gold better than anything else in the world. [00:14.80]他是個貪婪的人，喜歡金子勝過世界上任何東西。 [00:18.23]One day he asked the gods to give him still more gold. [00:20.58]一天，他要求眾神給他更多的金子。 [00:22.94]The gods decided to punish him and said:"Very well;in the morning everything that you touch will become gold." [00:26.81]眾神決定懲罰他，就說，“好的，明天一早，你摸到的任何東西都會變成金子?！? [00:30.69]Midas was overjoyed when he heard this."I shall be the richest man in the world,"he said to himself. [00:33.93]邁達(dá)斯聽到這話，高興極了?！拔乙蔀槭澜缟献罡挥械娜?，”他自言自語地說。 [00:37.17]He got up early next morning.When he touched his bed,it turned to gold. [00:40.16]第二天一大早他就起床了。他一摸床，床就變成了金子; [00:43.15]He began to dress,and his clothes became gold.Midas was delighted. [00:45.70]他一穿衣服，衣服也變成了金子。邁達(dá)斯心里樂開了花。 [00:48.25]Midas loved flowers and kept a beautiful garden.He went into the garden to look at his flowers. [00:52.17]邁達(dá)斯喜歡花，他有一座美麗的花園，他走進花園去賞花。 [00:56.08]The day was fine,the sun was bright and the roses were lovely.The king picked one of them,but it turned to gold in his hand. [01:01.92]這天天氣晴朗，陽光明媚，玫瑰花香醉人。他摘了一朵，但花兒在他手里變成了金子。 [01:07.76]He picked another,and the same thing happened.He was sorry that the flowers changed as soon as he touched them,for he loved their rich colours. [01:13.59]他又摘下一朵，也變成了金子。他一碰花，花就變成金子，這使他很難過，因為他喜愛花朵鮮艷的色彩。 [01:19.41]The king went to have his breakfast.He took a cup of milk,but it immediately turned to gold. [01:22.94]國王去吃早餐，他端起一杯牛奶，牛奶立刻凝結(jié)成一塊金子。 [01:26.47]Then he took a piece of bread,and that also changed into gold.Midas now began to feel unhappy. [01:31.02]接著，他拿起一塊面包，面包也變成了金子。邁達(dá)斯開始感到不高興了。 [01:35.58]It was good to be the richest man in the world,but he was hungry,and he could not eat or drink gold. [01:39.46]做世界上最富有的人固然好，但是他餓呀，他不能吃金子喝金子呀! [01:43.34]Midas went out into the garden again.His little daughter was there. [01:46.33]邁達(dá)斯走出宮殿，又來到了花園。 [01:49.32]When she saw her father,she ran up to him.King Midas was very fond of his daughter and he kissed her tenderly. [01:54.13]他的小女兒正在那兒。女兒一見到他，就跑到他眼前。邁達(dá)斯國王非常喜愛他的女兒，便親切地吻她， [01:58.94]Then and there she turned into a golden statue. [02:01.18]一剎那間，他女兒變成了一座金塑像。 [02:03.43]Midas was now very unhappy.He went into his palace.His eyes filled with tears,and he begged the gods to take away the Golden Touch. [02:08.88]邁達(dá)斯這時非常傷心。他走進宮去，兩眼噙滿了淚水。他乞求眾神除去他的點金術(shù)。 [02:14.32]"I was very foolish to love gold so much,"he said."Take all my gold and give me back my daughter." [02:17.95]“我真是太傻了，這么貪愛金子，”他說?！鞍呀鹱佣寄萌グ?，把女兒還給我?！? [02:21.58]"Go," said the gods,"and wash your hands in the river near your garden,and the water will take away the Golden Touch." [02:26.19]“到你花園旁邊的那條河去，”眾神說，“洗一洗手，河水就會把點金術(shù)除掉?！? [02:30.80]Midas went to the river and washed his hands.Then he ran quickly to the golden statue of his little girl. [02:34.93]邁達(dá)斯走到河邊洗了雙手。然后，趕快朝變成金塑像的小女兒跑去。 [02:39.06]He kissed her again and she changed back into his pretty little daughter. [02:41.66]他又親吻了她一下，他美麗的小女兒就變回來了。 [02:44.26]Midas never forgot this lesson.He knew now that gold did not bring happiness. [02:47.54]邁達(dá)斯一直沒有忘記這次教訓(xùn)?，F(xiàn)在他懂得了，金子并不能帶來幸福。 [02:50.81]GOING THROUGH CUSTOMS [02:53.95]Customs officer:May I see your passport,disembarkation card and customs forms?

[03:09.62]Officer:That’s Ok.Please open the suitcase.What’s in this container? [03:15.00]Wang:Oh,some Chinese medicine for my stomach trouble. [03:19.11]Officer:All right.You may close it now. [03:21.53]Wang:Am I through? [03:23.18]Officer:Yes,you may go.Good luck! [03:27.39]THE MILKMAID AND HER PAIL OF MILK [03:29.24]擠奶女工和一桶牛奶 [03:31.10]A farmer’s daughter was once carrying her pail of milk from the field to the farmhouse when she began to think and plan. [03:35.99]一次，農(nóng)夫的女兒頂著一桶牛奶從地里往農(nóng)場住宅走，一路上她開始盤算起來。 [03:40.89]"I will sell this milk,"she said to herself,"and with the money I can surely buy there hundred eggs. [03:45.41]"我要把這桶牛奶賣了，"他對自己說，"賣得的錢一定夠我買三百個雞蛋。 [03:49.93]I will put these eggs under hens,and surely two hundred and fifty of them will hatch. [03:53.70]把這些雞蛋拿去給母雞孵，一定能孵出二百五十只小雞。 [03:57.48]I will feed these chickens,and make them fat,and I will take them to the market when chichens are dear. [04:02.00]我會好好喂養(yǎng)，讓它們長得肥肥的，等雞肉價格正貴的時候我就把它們帶到集市上賣了。 [04:06.52]I will sell them at the market,and with this money,I will buy a new dress. [04:09.70]我要用賣得的錢買一條新裙子。 [04:12.89]In this dress,I will go to the fair.I shall look so fine that all the young men will ask me to marry them. [04:17.16]穿上新裙子去趕廟會，我會顯得非常漂亮迷人，所有的小伙子都會向我求婚。 [04:21.43]But I will toss my head,and refuse them all."As she said this,she really tossed her head. [04:25.21]我呢，就搖搖頭，一律拒絕。"說到這兒，農(nóng)夫的女兒果真晃了晃腦袋。 [04:28.98]Down fell the pail,and the milk spilled all over the ground.That was the end of all her fine plans. [04:33.31]桶掉了下來，牛奶灑了一地。她的一切美好計劃就此了結(jié)。 [04:37.63]The moral of this story is:Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched.
