這是一個大家熟知的故事，它告知我們要明智地利用時間。

agrasshopperwasplayingonhisviolinwheretheantswerebusycollectingfood.

蚱蜢在拉小提琴，而螞蟻卻在忙著收集食物。

“itsthegrasshopperagain！”theysaid.“hesalwaysplayingthatviolinofhis.heneverseemstodoanywork.”

“又是蚱蜢。”它們說，“它總是在拉小提琴，好像從來不工作?！?/p>

thegrasshopperstoppedwhenhesawtheants.“whyareyouworkingonsuchabeautifulday？”heasked.“dontyoufeelthegaietyofspring？whyarentyoudancingandsingingwhileiplaymyviolin？”

蚱蜢觀察螞蟻后停了下來?！斑@么好的天氣，干嗎工作呢？”它問道，“你們不覺得在春天心情是多么舒服嗎？我拉小提琴的時候，你們可以唱唱歌，跳跳舞啊！”

“wemustcollectfoodnow,”saidthequeenofants.“ifwedont,whatwillwedowhenwintercomes？”

“現(xiàn)在我們必需要收集食物。”蟻后說，“否則，我們冬天怎么辦呢？”

“oh,wintersalongwayoff,”saidthegrasshopper.“youtakelifemuchtooseriously.”

“哦，冬天還很遠(yuǎn)呢！”蚱蜢說道，“你們對待生活太仔細(xì)啦?！?/p>

“butyoumustworktodayifyouwanttoeattomorrow,”saidthelittleant.“youcanplayyourviolinafteryouhavefinishedworking,”saidanotherastheantsscurriedbusilyabout.

“但是，今日的工作是為了明天的生活?！毙∥浵佌f?！澳阕鐾旯ぷ骱笤倮√崆侔?。”另一只忙于工作的螞蟻說。

蚱蜢卻從來沒有聽從螞蟻的建議?！拔业男“閭H們，你們連續(xù)工作吧?！彼f，“我要到陽光照射下的草地上跳舞去了?！彬乞斐桦x開了勞碌的螞蟻。

thespringsoonpassedandthewarmdaysofsummercame.alldaylongthegrasshopperplayedhisviolinashesatinthesunorjustsleptonabladeofgrass.soonsummerwasover.

春天很快過去了，酷熱的夏天來了。蚱蜢只是整日坐在太陽下，或躺在草葉上拉小提琴。很快夏天也結(jié)束了。

onemorning,thegrasshopperwokeupandwassurprisedtoseethatsnowhadfallenduringthenight.heshiveredandlookedforagreatleafforfood.butalthoughhesearchedandsearchedhecouldnotfindathing.thelongwinterhadcome.

一天早上，蚱蜢醒來后驚異地發(fā)覺昨天晚上下雪了。它哆嗦著想去查找一片大葉子作食物，但是它找啊找，可是什么也沒找到。漫長的冬天到來了。

“ohdear,ohdear！whatshallido？”criedthegrasshopper,“ishalldieofhunger.ishallfreezetodeath！”

“哦，天哪！我該怎么辦呢？”蚱蜢哀號著，“我要被餓死、凍死了。”

thegrasshopperwanderedaroundlookingforaplacetokeepwarmbuttherewasnosuchplace.“howsillyiwasnottolistentotheants.whileiamdyingofcoldandhungertheyaresittingintheirwarmnestwithplentytoeat.”

蚱蜢四處徘徊著想找一個御寒的地方，但是根本找不到?！拔艺媸翘盗?，沒有聽螞蟻的話。我快要被凍死餓死的時候，它們卻待在暖和的巢穴里，不愁吃的。”

andsobbingloudly,thegrasshoppersatdowninthesnow.theantsheardhiscryandastheywerereallykindcreaturestheycamehurryingtohelphim.

蚱蜢坐在雪地上大哭起來。和善的螞蟻聽到它的哭聲后，趕忙趕來幫忙。

bythistimethepoorgrasshopperwasfrozenstiff.theantspickedhimupandcarriedhimtotheirnest.

等它們到那兒，可憐的蚱蜢已經(jīng)凍僵了。螞蟻把它扶起來，抬到它們的巢穴里。

theylookedafterthegrasshopperuntilhefeltbetterandspringhadreturnedagain.neverdidthegrasshopperforgetthelessonhehadbeentaught.

它們始終照料著蚱蜢直到它好轉(zhuǎn)，這時春天也來了。從今，蚱蜢再也沒有遺忘曾經(jīng)的教訓(xùn)。
