What on earth would Charlotte do to save Wilbur? As a spider, it seemed to be a mission impossible to her. However, she did it!She not only successfully completed what she promised, but also made Wilbur to be known to everyone.
夏洛特究竟会如何救威尔伯呢?作为一只蜘蛛,这对她来说似乎是一项不可能完成的任务。然而,她做到了!她不仅成功地履行了自己的承诺,还让威尔伯成为了一头名猪。
If you are interested in things happened between Charlotte and Wilbur,you can check my former articles in the last.
如果你对发生在夏洛特和威尔伯之间的事感兴趣,可以在文末查看我之前的文章。
Day after day, Wilbur, the pig, who had known Charlotte would save him, returned to lead his daily life in a very relaxing way; while Charlotte, the spider, who had promised Wilbur she would save his life, had spent nearly every minute of her life to think how to save him.
日子一天天过去,威尔伯在知道夏洛特会救自己后,开始如往常一样过起了轻松愉快的生活;而夏洛特,在向威尔伯承诺会救他之后,就无时不刻不在想着该如何救他。
Finally, she succeeded. One morning toward the middle of July, the idea came.
终于,她成功了。在七月中旬的某一个清晨,她想到了一个法子。
In order to save Wilbur, she decided to play a trick on Zuckerman. Charlotte was full of confidence in herself. In her opinion, people are not as smart as bugs. Now that she could fool a bug, then she could surely fool a man.
为了救威尔伯,她决定跟扎克曼一家开个玩笑。夏洛特对自己充满了信心。在她看来,人类是愚蠢的,他们并不比昆虫聪明多少。既然她能愚弄昆虫,那么,她也一定能唬住人类。
My thinking:
1.Be Patient, Ideas Will Come.
1.耐心等待,想法会有的。
When emergent events come, it is always very difficult for us to calm down, not even to figure out what to do. Compared with Charlotte, we, human beings, definitely are losers.
当紧急情况发生时,我们往往很难冷静下来,更不要说去想解决办法了。(在这点上)与夏洛特相比的话,我们人类绝对是失败者。
Charlotte was naturally patient. She knew from experience that if she waited long enough, a fly would come to her web; and she felt sure that if she thought long enough about Wilbur’s problem, and idea would come to her mind.
夏洛特生来就有耐心。从以往的经验来看,她知道如果她等待的时间足够长,苍蝇就会飞到她的网里来;因此她确信,只要她思考的时间够久,她就一定会想到救威尔伯的法子的。
Therefore, pls be patient, and ideas will come. You should hold the belief that the more urgent the things are, the more patient you should be. It is important to keep calm in an emergency.
所以,请耐心等待,想法一定会有的。请相信,事情越是紧急,你就该越有耐心。在危急情况下,保持镇定是非常重要的。
2. The same thing, but different attitudes.
2.同一样东西,不一样的态度。
Did you still remember the unhatched goose egg which was taken away by Templeton(the rat)?
还记得那颗未孵化的鹅蛋吗?那颗被坦普尔顿(那只老鼠)带走的鹅蛋吗?
At the beginning, all animals in the barn except for the rat disliked it. It was abandoned by the goose and sent to Templeton. But now some of them were glad to have it, especially Charlotte and Wilbur.
开始的时候,除了老鼠以外,谷仓里所有的动物都不喜欢它。它被鹅妈妈抛弃,并被送给了坦普尔顿。但现在,他们中的有些动物却庆幸有它,特别是夏洛特和威尔伯。
Arable had tried to capture Charlotte. If he succeeded in catching her, Charlotte's life would come to an end. Luckily, Arable lost his balance, fell down and made the egg broke. Then the smell of the broken egg drove him away just in time. It had been a narrow escape for Charlotte.
阿拉贝尔想去捉夏洛特。如果他成功地捉住了她,那么夏洛特的生命将就此结束了。幸运的是,阿拉贝尔失去平衡, 摔了下来,并弄破了那颗鹅蛋。鹅蛋破裂散发出来的恶臭及时地"赶走"了他。这对夏洛特来说,简直就是九死一生。
“It was that rotten goose egg that saved charlotte’s life,” said Wilbur.
"那颗臭蛋救了夏洛特一命,"威尔伯说道。
The goose was proud of her share in the adventure. “I’m delighted that the egg never hatched,” she gabbled.
鹅妈妈也为她在这次冒险中的贡献感到骄傲。"我很高兴这颗蛋没有孵化成功,"她急促地说。
Templeton, of course, was miserable over the loss of his beloved egg. But he couldn’t resist boasting. “It pays to save things,” he said in his surly voice.
最可怜的莫过于坦普尔顿了,他失去了他最爱的鹅蛋。尽管如此,他也忍不住吹嘘。"拯救夏洛特总要付出些代价的",他肯定地说道。
The unhatched egg is just like people we met in our life. We might dislike them, but we should realize that they have their own advantages. We should endeavor to treat them fairly.
这颗未孵化的蛋就像我们在生活中所遇到的人。这些人可能是我们所不喜欢的,但不可否认,他们都有自己的优点, 我们应该公正的看待他们。
3. Things what you love may ruin you, while what you hate may rescue you.
3. 你所喜欢的可能正在毁灭你,而你所厌恶的却在拯救你。
Wilbur liked eating what was provided to him and gained weight day by day. And we all know that when he was fat enough, he would be killed;Charlotte disliked the unhatched egg as others, but the egg broke and save her.
威尔伯喜欢吃的,喜欢长胖。但我们都知道,当他足够胖的时候,就是他被宰的时候了;夏洛特和其他人一样都不喜欢这颗未被孵化出来的鹅蛋,但就是这颗蛋,破了之后却救了他一命。
It is hard to judge what will benefit you a lot. However,I believe that things what you love may ruin you, while what you hate may rescue you. Most of us like playing games, watching soap operas,spending much time on meaningless things;do not like reading books,doing sports or spending time on meaningful things. There is no doubt that it is a crisis to yourself . If you have realized it as me, maybe you should take some actions to change it.
什么东西对我们有益,这很难进行判断。但是我相信“你所喜欢的可能正在毁灭你,而你所厌恶的却在拯救你。”我们中的大部分人喜欢玩游戏,喜欢看肥皂剧,喜欢在毫无意义的事情上花费大量的时间;不喜欢看书,不喜欢运动,不喜欢在其他有意义的事情上花费一丁点儿时间。毫无疑问,这是你的个人危机。如果你已经像我一样意识到这一点了,那么也许你该采取些行动来进行改变了!
It's never late to change your story!
改变,不论何时都不晚!
