25.雄鹿和猎人, The Hart and the Hunter (xíong lù hé liè rén)

Yǒu  zhī xíong lù yī biān hē chí táng lǐ de shuǐ ，   

有只雄鹿一边喝池塘里的水，

yī biān xīn shǎng zì jǐ yōu yǎ de dào yg 。

一边欣赏自己优雅的倒影。

tā shuō ： “ nǐ dào nǎ ér lǐ néng kàn dào zhè me piào liàng de lù jiǎo ne ？

它说：“你到哪儿里能看到这么漂亮的鹿角呢？

xiàn tiáo ér duō měi lì ！ zhī kě xī wǒ de tuǐ tài shòu le ，yào shì néng zài fēng mǎn yī diǎn ér jiù hǎo le ，zhè yàng ‘ huáng guān ’ dài zài tóu shàng cái shí zhì míng guī 。”

线条儿多美丽！只可惜我的腿太瘦了，要是能再丰满一点儿就好了，这样‘皇冠’戴在头上才实至名归。”

dàn jiù zài zhè shí ， yī gè liè rén jiē jìn tā ， xiàng tā shè le yī jiàn 。

但就在这时，一个猎人接近它，向它射了一箭。

jiàn wèi shè zhòng ， tā jiè zhe líng qiǎo de tuǐ pǎo de hěn kuài ，

箭未射中，它借着灵巧的腿跑的很快，

shùn jiān jiù cóng liè rén de shì xiàn zhōng xiāo shī le 。

瞬间就从猎人的视线中消失了。

dàn shì bù jiǔ tā jiù mí le lù ， tā pǎo jìn ǎi shù cóng zhōng ，

但是不久它就迷了路，它跑进矮树丛中，

lù jiǎo bèi shù zhī chán zhù le ， yǎn kàn liè rén jiù yào zhuī shàng tā 。

鹿角被树枝缠住了，眼看猎人就要追上它。

xíong lù hū jiào ： “ à ！ tiān à ， wǒ men cháng cháng qīng hū nà xiē zuì yǒu yòng de dōng xī ” 。 

雄鹿呼叫：“啊！天啊，我们常常轻忽那些最有用的东西”。

The Hart was once drinking from a pool 

Yǒu  zhī xíong lù yī biān hē chí táng lǐ de shuǐ ，   

and admiring the noble figure he made there.

yī biān xīn shǎng zì jǐ yōu yǎ de dào yg 。

"Ah," said he, "where can you see such noble horns as these, with such antlers!

tā shuō ： “ nǐ dào nǎ ér lǐ néng kàn dào zhè me piào liàng de lù jiǎo ne ？

I wish I had legs more worthy to bear such a noble crown; it is a pity they are so slim and slight."  

xiàn tiáo ér duō měi lì ！ zhī kě xī wǒ de tuǐ tài shòu le ，yào shì néng zài fēng mǎn yī diǎn ér jiù hǎo le ，zhè yàng ‘ huáng guān ’ dài zài tóu shàng cái shí zhì míng guī 。”

At that moment a Hunter approached and sent an arrow whistling after him.

dàn jiù zài zhè shí ， yī gè liè rén jiē jìn tā ， xiàng tā shè le yī jiàn 。

Away bounded the Hart, and soon, by the aid of his nimble legs,

jiàn wèi shè zhòng ， tā jiè zhe líng qiǎo de tuǐ pǎo de hěn kuài ，

was nearly out of sight of the Hunter;

shùn jiān jiù cóng liè rén de shì xiàn zhōng xiāo shī le 。

but not noticing where he was going, he passed under some trees 

dàn shì bù jiǔ tā jiù mí le lù ， tā pǎo jìn ǎi shù cóng zhōng ，

With branches growing low down in which his antlers were caught, so that the Hunter had time to come up.

lù jiǎo bèi shù zhī chán zhù le ， yǎn kàn liè rén jiù yào zhuī shàng tā 。

"Alas! alas!" cried the Hart: "We often despise what is most useful to us."

xíong lù hū jiào ： “ à ！ tiān à ， wǒ men cháng cháng qīng hū nà xiē zuì yǒu yòng de dōng xī ” 。
