　　[00:04.48]两个朋友和熊

　　[00:06.45]Two friends were travelling together through a forest.One of them said:"If we meet any wild beasts,I’ll help you and you’ll help me."

　　[00:12.63]两个朋友在一道旅行，穿过一座森林。其中一人说：“要是碰到野兽，我就帮助你，你也要帮助我。”

　　[00:18.81]"That’s fine,"said his friend,and they walked on.

　　[00:21.36]“好的，”他的朋友说。接着，他们继续往前走。

　　[00:23.90]Suddenly a big bear ran our from behind a tree.The man who said he would help his friend at once got up a tree and hid himself among the leaves.

　　[00:30.28]突然，一只大熊从一棵树后面跑出来。那个说要帮助他朋友的人马上爬到树上，把自己藏在树叶丛里。

　　[00:36.65]The other man could not climb trees.So he threw himself on the ground,closed his eyes and pretended¹ to be dead.

　　[00:41.99]另外一人不会爬树，于是便倒在地上，闭住眼睛装死。

　　[00:47.33]The bear came up and sniffed² at the man’s head.It put its nose close to his mouth and ears.

　　[00:51.55]熊走过来，闻闻这个人的头，又把鼻子凑近他的嘴和耳朵。

　　[00:55.77]The man held his breath³.The bear thought he was dead and walked away,for bears never touch dead men.

　　[01:00.20]这人屏住呼吸。熊以为他已经死去，便走开了，因为熊从来不碰死人。

　　[01:04.63]When the bear was gone,and all was safe,the man in the tree came down.

　　[01:07.63]熊走了，一切都平安无事了。树上的人爬了下来。

　　[01:10.64]With a smile,he asked his friend:"What did the bear tell you when he put his nose so close to your ears?"

　　[01:14.36]他笑嘻嘻地问他朋友：“熊把鼻子凑到你耳朵旁，跟你说了些什么？”

　　[01:18.08]"Well,"said his friend,"the bear said:’Don’t trust those who leave their friends the moment they get into difficulty⁴!’"

　　[01:22.51]“噢”，他的朋友答道：“熊说，不要信任那些一遇困难就背弃朋友的人。”

　　[01:26.94]IN THE DINING-ROOM

　　[01:30.23]What are we going to have for lunch?

　　[01:33.26]Fish,vegetables and egg soup.

　　[01:36.55]Are we going to have rice or steamed bread?

　　[02:25.66]"Go,"Aesop shouted to him.The traveller was very angry,"This man must be mad,"he thought.And he walked away.

　　[02:31.33]"走，"伊索朝他喊道。行路人很生气。"这人一定是个疯子。"他这么想着，走开了。"

　　[02:37.00]Suddenly he heard Aesop shouting to him."You will go to town in two hours."

　　[02:40.85]突然，他听到伊索对他喊道："你两小时后可以走到城里。"

　　[02:44.70]The traveller was greatly surprised.He turned back and asked,"Why didn’t you tell me that before?"

　　[02:48.69]行路人大吃一惊。他转过身来问："那你刚才怎么不告诉我？"

　　[02:52.67]"How could I have told you that before?"answered Aesop."I didn’t know how fast you could walk."
