The Mole and His Mother小鼹鼠和妈妈
A Mole, a creature blind from birth, once said to his Mother: I am sure that I can see, Mother! In the desire to prove to him his mistake, his Mother placed before him a few grains of frankincense, and asked, What is it? The young Mole said, It is a pebble. His Mother exclaimed: My son, I am afraid that you are not only blind, but that you have lost your sense of smell. 译 文 传说鼹鼠的眼睛是瞎的,可小鼹鼠却对妈妈说他能看得见。妈想试验他一下,便拿来一小块香喷喷的食物,放在他面前,并问他是什么。他说是一颗小石头。母亲说:啊,不幸的孩子,你不但眼睛看不见,连鼻子也没用了。 寓 意 那些爱吹牛说大话的人,常常夸海口能做大事,却在一些微不足道的事情上暴露了本质。 New words: 1.frankincense 乳香。 2.pebble 小圆石,小鹅卵石。 3.exclaim 呼喊,惊叫,大声叫。
