30.牛棚里的雄鹿, The Hart in the Ox-Stall (niú péng lǐ de xíong lù)

yī zhīxíong lù bèi liè rén men qióng zhuī bù fàng ，

一只雄鹿被猎人们穷追不放，

qíng jí zhī xià tā pǎo jìn yī gè niú péng ，

情急之下它跑进一个牛棚，

xíong lù duǒ jìn yī dà duī gān cǎo lǐ miàn ，

雄鹿躲进一大堆干草里面，

zhī yǒu lù jiǎo jiān lòu zài wài miàn 。 liè rén hěn kuài zhuī gǎn ér zhì ，

只有鹿角尖露在外面。猎人很快追赶而至，

bìng wèn yī qún gāng chī guò wǎn fàn zài xiū xī de mù tóng ，shì fǒu kàn dào yī tóu xíong lù ？

并问一群刚吃过晚饭在休息的牧童，是否看到一头雄鹿？

hái tóng huán gù sì zhōu bìng méi yǒu fā xiàn shén me。liè rén men jiù lí kāi liǎo niú péng 。

孩童环顾四周并没有发现什么。猎人们就离开了牛棚。

bù jiǔ ， zhǔ rén zǒu jìn niú péng ，

不久，主人走进牛棚，

huán gù sì zhōu jiù kàn chū le yì cháng 。

环顾四周就看出了异常。

tā zhǐ zhe cǎo duò wèn ： “ cǎo duò lǐ lòu chū de liǎng gè qí guài de dōng xī shì shén me ？”

他指着草垛问：“草垛里露出的两个奇怪的东西是什么？”

mù tóng shàng qián chá kàn ， fā xiàn shì zhī xíong lù duǒ cáng zài lǐ miàn ，

牧童上前查看，发现是只雄鹿躲藏在里面，

yú shì hěn kuài xíong lù jiù bèi zhuā zhù le 。

于是很快雄鹿就被抓住了。

xíong lù míng bái guò lái ：“ zài táo bì yī zhǒng wēi xiǎn shí ， bù yào hū shì lìng yī zhǒng wēi xiǎn ”   

雄鹿明白过来： “在逃避一种危险时，不要忽视另一种危险” 。

A Hart hotly pursued by the hounds fled 

yī zhīxíong lù bèi liè rén men qióng zhuī bù fàng ，

for refuge into an ox-stall, 

qíng jí zhī xià tā pǎo jìn yī gè niú péng ，

and buried itself in a truss of hay,

xíong lù duǒ jìn yī dà duī gān cǎo lǐ miàn ，

leaving nothing to be seen but the tips of his horns.  Soon after the Hunters came up

zhī yǒu lù jiǎo jiān lòu zài wài miàn 。 liè rén hěn kuài zhuī gǎn ér zhì ，

and asked if any one had seen the Hart. The stable boys, who had been resting after their dinner,

bìng wèn yī qún gāng chī guò wǎn fàn zài xiū xī de mù tóng ，shì fǒu kàn dào yī tóu xíong lù ？

looked round, but could see nothing, and the Hunters went away.  

hái tóng huán gù sì zhōu bìng méi yǒu fā xiàn shén me。liè rén men jiù lí kāi liǎo niú péng 。

Shortly afterwards the master came in, 

bù jiǔ ， zhǔ rén zǒu jìn niú péng ，

and looking round, saw that something unusual had taken place.  

huán gù sì zhōu jiù kàn chū le yì cháng 。

He pointed to the truss of hay and said: "What are those two curious things sticking out of the hay?"  

tā zhǐ zhe cǎo duò wèn ： “ cǎo duò lǐ lòu chū de liǎng gè qí guài de dōng xī shì shén me ？”

And when the stable boys came to look they discovered the Hart,

mù tóng shàng qián chá kàn ， fā xiàn shì zhī xíong lù duǒ cáng zài lǐ miàn ，

and soon made an end of him.  

yú shì hěn kuài xíong lù jiù bèi zhuā zhù le 。

He thus learnt that Nothing escapes the master's eye.

xíong lù míng bái guò lái ：“ zài táo bì yī zhǒng wēi xiǎn shí ， bù yào hū shì lìng yī zhǒng wēi xiǎn ”
