　　初三英語故事：風箏

A kite, which has been allowed to soar to the clouds, called out from on high to a butterfly down below in the valley.

“I can assure you that I can scarcely make you out. Confess now that you feel envious when you watch my so lofty flight.”

“Envious? No indeed! You have no business to think so much of yourself. You fly high, it is true; but you are always tied by a string.

Such a life, my friend, is very far removed from happiness. But I, though in truth but little exalted, fly wherever I wish. I should not like all my life long to have to conduce to someone else’s foolish amusement.”

【譯文】

一隻乘風而起高飛入雲的風箏，從上空向下面山谷中一隻蝴蝶喊道：

“老實告訴你，我幾乎看不清你了。你得承認看到我飛得這麼高，一定很羨慕吧。”

“羨慕嗎?一點也不!你根本沒有權利自以爲有什麼了不起。你飛得高，這是事實;但你卻總是被系在繩上。朋友!這種生活跟幸福相去太遠了。雖然我實際上沒有什麼好得意的，卻能任意飛翔。我纔不願意一輩子專供他人作無聊的娛樂呢。”

The bad news is Jim, the patient you saved, hung himself with his bathrobe belt in the bathroom,he's dead."

Mary replied, "He didn't hang himself, I hung him up to dry."
