12、Thesloth thoughtandthought
andthought
for a long, long, long time.树獭想啊
想啊
想啊
想了很久，很久，很久。Finally, the sloth replied,“It is true that I am slow, quiet,
and boring. I am lackadaisical
I dawdle and I dillydally.
I am also unflappable, languid,
stoic, impassive, sluggish,
lethargic, placid, calm, mellow,
laid-back and, well, slothful!
I am relaxed and tranquil,
and I like to live in peace.
But I am not lazy.”
Then the sloth yawned and said,
“That’s just how I am.
I like to do things
slowly,
slowly,
slowly.”终于，树獭开口说：“我确实又慢又静还很闷。
我没精打采，我游手好闲，我磨磨蹭蹭。
我淡定，悠然，冷静，稳重，不慌不忙，从容不迫，好吧，还有些树獭似的迟钝！我这是轻松自在，宁静安详，喜欢平静的生活。我这可不是懒。”
树獭伸伸懒腰，接着说：
“我只是喜欢什么事儿都
慢悠悠
慢悠悠
慢悠悠地来。”
