Belling the Cat (系铃于猫)


  Long ago, some mice had a meeting to consider what they could do to outwit their common enemy, the cat. They discussed the merits of many plans. At last a young mouse got out and said that he had a good solution to promble.

  "You will agree,"he said, "that our greaest danger is the sly manner in which our enemy approach, we could easily escape from her.I suggest, therefore ,that a small bell tried around the neck of the cat. In this ways know when she is coming, and we can easily run away."

  Everyone thought this was an excellent plan. At that moment an old mouse got up and said. "That is all very ,but who is going to bell the cat?" The mice looked at each other and nobody spoke. Then the old mouse said, "It is easy to suggest impossible solutions."

  很久以前, 一群老鼠聚在一起商量如何才能对付它们的共同敌人——猫。它们议论了各种方法的利弊。最后,一只小老鼠出来说,他有一个好办法解决这个问题。

  “你们会同意的,”他说,“我们最大的威胁就是我们的敌人悄悄的靠近我们,如果它靠近我们时,我们能得到预告,那我们就容易逃掉了。所以,我想在猫的脖子上系一个小铃。这样,她来的时候我们总能知道,也就很容易的逃走了。”

  所有的老鼠都认为这是一个极好的主意。这时,一只老老鼠出来说,“这的确很好,但谁给猫系铃呢?”老鼠们都 面面相觑,无言以对。这时那只老老鼠再说:“不切实际的办法是最容易想到的。”
