早上五点,太阳升起,两只瓢虫各自从一片叶子的左右两方飞来,准备吃这片叶子上的蚜虫。一只很友好地招呼:早上好!还说大家一起分享蚜虫哦!另一只不高兴地说:走开!这是我的!然后挑衅说:想要打一架来赢得这些蚜虫吗?他本来是想吓唬人家一下,结果人家说:“如果你坚持的话,那就打一架吧!”这个回答显然出乎不高兴瓢虫的意料,于是他辩解说:“不过论打架,你对我来说小了点。”那只瓢虫就说,那你去找大的吧。为了证明自己,不高兴瓢虫出发了。。。。
求整文翻译。谢谢!
The Grouchy Ladybug
By Eric Carle
1、It was night and some fireflies danced around the moon.
2、At five o’clock in the morning the sun came up.
A friendly ladybug flew in from the left. It saw a leaf with many aphids on it, and decided to have them for breakfast.
But just then a grouchy ladybug flew in from the right. It too saw the aphids and wanted them for breakfast.
3、“Good morning,” said the friendly ladybug.
“Go away!” Shouted the grouchy ladybug. “ I want those aphids.”
“We can share them,” suggested the friendly ladybug.
“No. They’re mine, all mine,” screamed the grouchy ladybug. “or do you want to fight me for them?”
4、“If you insist,” answered the friendly ladybug sweetly.
It looked the other bug straight in the eye.
The grouchy ladybug stepped back. It looked less sure of itself. “Oh, you’re not big enough for me to fight,” it said.
“Then why don’t you pick on somebody bigger?”
“I’ll do that!” screeched the grouchy ladybug. “I’ll show you!” it puffed itself up and flew off.
5、At six o’clock it met a yellow jacket.
“Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug. “Want to fight?”
“If you insist,” said the yellow jacket, showing its stinger.
“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
6、At seven o’clock it met a stag beetle.
“Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug. “Want to fight?”
“If you insist,” said the stag beetle, opening its jaws.
“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
7、At eight o’clock it came across a praying mantis. (螳螂)
“Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug. “Want to fight?”
“If you insist,” said the praying mantis, reaching out its long front legs.
“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
8、At nine o’clock it almost flew into a sparrow.
“Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug. “Want to fight?”
“If you insist,” said the sparrow, opening its sharp beak.
“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
9、At ten o’clock it saw a lobster.
“Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug. “Want to fight?”
“If you insist,” said the lobster, stretching its claws.
“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
10、At eleven o’clock it bumped into a skunk.
“Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug. “Want to fight?”
“If you insist,” said the skunk, staring to lift its tail.
“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
11、At twelve o’clock it spotted a boa constrictor.
“Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug” Want to fight?”
“If you ins-i-s-t,” said the snake, “right after lunch.”
“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
12、At one o’clock it happened upon a hyena.
“Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug. “Want to fight?”
“If you insist,” said the hyena, laughing eerily and showing its teeth.
“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
13、At two o’clock it met a gorilla.
“Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug. “Want to fight?”
“If you insist,” said the gorilla, beating its chest.
“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
14、At three o’clock it ran into a rhinoceros.
“Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug. “Want to fight?”
“If you insist,” said the rhinoceros, lowering its horn.
“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
15、At four o’clock it encountered an elephant.
“Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug. “Want to fight?”
“If you insist,” said the elephant, raising its trunk and showing it s big tusks.
“Oh, you’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
16、At five o’clock it met a whale.
“Hey you,” said the grouchy ladybug. “Want to fight?”
But the whale did not answer at all.
“You’re not big enough,” said the grouchy ladybug and flew off.
17、At five fifteen the grouchy ladybug said to one of the whale’s flippers, “Hey you, want to fight?”
18、But it got no answer. So it flew on.
19、At five thirty the grouchy ladybug said to the whale's fin,
"Hey you,want to fight?"
20、But it got no answer.So it flew on.
21、At a quarter to six the grouchy ladybug said to the whale’s tail, “Hey you, want to fight?
22、And the whale’s tail gave the grouchy ladybug such a SLAP,
23、 … that it flew across the sea and across the land.
24、At six o’clock the grouchy ladybug arrived right back where it had started from.
25、“Ah, here you are again,” said the friendly ladybug. “You must be hungry. There are still some aphids left. You can have them for dinner.”
“Oh, thank you,” said the wet, tired and hungry ladybug.
26、Soon all the aphids were gone.
"Thank you," said the leaf.
"You are welcome,"answered both ladybugs,and they went to sleep. The fireflies,who had been sleeping all day,
came out to dance around the moon.
The Grouchy ladybug is a bad-tempered braggart who won’t say “please” or “thank you,” won’t share, and thinks it’s bigger and better than anyone else. This fast-moving story invites children to explore the concepts of time, size, shape, and manners. Follow along as the Grouchy Ladybug meets its match and learn to be a better behaved bug!
