英语小故事龟兔赛跑（3分钟简单英语故事）

A Hare was making fun of the Tortoise one day for being so slow.

"Do you ever get anywhere?" he asked with a mocking laugh.

"Yes," replied the Tortoise, "and I get there sooner than you think. I'll run you a race and prove it."

The Hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with the Tortoise, but for the fun of the thing he agreed. So the Fox, who had consented to act as judge, marked the distance and started the runners off.

The Hare was soon far out of sight, and to make the Tortoise feel very deeply how ridiculous it was for him to try a race with a Hare, he lay down beside the course to take a nap until the Tortoise should catch up.

The Tortoise meanwhile kept going slowly but steadily, and, after a time, passed the place where the Hare was sleeping. But the Hare slept on very peacefully; and when at last he did wake up, the Tortoise was near the goal. The Hare now ran his swiftest, but he could not overtake the Tortoise in time.

Slow and steady wins the race.

译文：

有一天，一只兔子在取笑乌龟跑得太慢。

“你能去任何地方吗?”他嘲笑地问。

“是的，”乌龟回答，“我到那儿比你想象的要早。”我要给你跑一场比赛，证明给你看。”

兔子一想到要和乌龟赛跑就觉得很好笑，但为了好玩，他同意了。于是，狐狸同意担任裁判，他标出了距离，让赛跑的人起跑。

兔子很快就跑得无影无踪了，为了让乌龟深深感到和兔子赛跑是多么可笑，他躺在球场旁边打盹，直到乌龟赶上来。

与此同时，乌龟慢悠悠地走着，过了一会儿，经过了兔子睡觉的地方。但是兔子很平静地睡了下来;当他终于醒来的时候，乌龟已经快到终点了。兔子跑得最快，但他没能及时赶上乌龟。

稳健的人赢得比赛。
