The wind and the sun
The Wind and the Sun
北风与太阳
One day, the wind and the sun were arguing about who was the strongest. "It is clear that I am the strongest," said the wind. "When I blow, branches break off the trees, and the waves beat on the shore."
一天,北风和太阳在争执他们俩到底谁最强壮。“很明显我最强壮,”北风说道。“当我刮起风的时候,树枝会从树上断落,海水会起浪猛击沙滩。”
"That's nothing," said the sun. "I am much stronger than that." Just then, they saw a man wearing a heavy coat. "We will both try to make this man take off his coat," said the sun. "Whoever succeeds will be the strongest."
“这不算什么,”太阳说。“我比这强多了。”就在这时,他们看见一个人穿着厚厚的外套。“我们都试着让这个人把他的外套脱了,”太阳说。“谁成功了谁就是最厉害的。”
The wind agreed to go first. He blew hard at the man, but it was no use. The man became cold and held onto his coat with both hands.
北风答应第一个上。他使劲地朝着那人刮风,但是并没有什么用。那人反而觉得冷,用手把外套将自己裹得紧紧的。
Then it was the sun's turn. He came out from behind a cloud and shone gently down on the man. The man smiled and took off his coat to enjoy the warm sunshine.
接着该轮到太阳了。太阳从云层里出来,把阳光温柔地照向那个人。那人微笑着脱下外套享受着温暖的阳光。
"You see?" asked the sun. "Kindness and gentleness are stronger than anything in the world."
“看见没?”太阳说。“善良与温柔才是世界上最强壮的东西。”
