《龟兔赛跑》，是一则耐人寻味的寓言故事，故事中塑造了一只骄傲的兔子和一只坚持不懈的小乌龟。有一天，兔子和乌龟比赛跑步，兔子嘲笑乌龟爬得慢，乌龟说：“总有一天我会赢的。”兔子就轻蔑地说：“那我们现在就开始比赛！”乌龟答应了，兔子大声喊道：“比赛开始！”
“The Race of the Tortoise and the Hare” is an intriguing fable in which a proud rabbit and a persistent little turtle are portrayed. One day, the hare and the tortoise raced and run. The hare laughed at the tortoise’s slow crawling. The tortoise said, “I will win one day.” The hare said contemptuously, “Then we will start the race now!” The tortoise agreed, and the hare said loudly. Shouted: “The game begins!”
兔子飞快地跑着，乌龟拼命地爬着。不一会儿，兔子与乌龟已经离的有很大一段距离了。兔子认为比赛太轻松了，它要先睡一会，并且自以为是地说即使自己睡醒了乌龟也不一定能追上它。而乌龟呢，它一刻不停地爬行，爬呀爬呀，到兔子那里的时候，它已经累得不行了，但乌龟想如果这时和兔子一样去休息，那比赛就不会赢了，所以乌龟继续地爬呀爬呀。当兔子醒来的时候乌龟已经到达终点了。此故事告诉大家：不可轻易小视他人。虚心使人进步，骄傲使人落后. 要踏踏实实地做事情，不要半途而废，才会取得成功。
2018年8月，《科学报告》杂志刊登了美国生物学家的一项研究成果。据称，龟兔赛跑中，若用它们一生的运动量来衡量，乌龟作为一种很有耐力的动物，肯定会赢得胜利。科学家称，乌龟一生走的公里数，比兔子要多。
The hare was running fast, and the tortoise was crawling desperately. After a while, the rabbit and the tortoise were far away. The rabbit thinks that the game is too easy, it needs to sleep for a while, and self-righteously said that even if he wakes up, the tortoise may not be able to catch up with it. As for the tortoise, it crawls all the time, crawling and crawling. When it gets to the rabbit, it is already exhausted, but the tortoise thinks that if it goes to rest like the rabbit at this time, then the game will not win, so The tortoise kept crawling and crawling. When the rabbit woke up, the tortoise had reached the end. This story tells everyone: Don’t underestimate others. Modesty makes people progress, arrogance makes people fall behind. You must do things down-to-earth and don’t give up halfway to achieve success.
In August 2018, the journal “Science Reports” published a study by an American biologist. It is said that in the tortoise and the hare race, if measured by the amount of exercise in their life, the tortoise, as a very endurance animal, will definitely win. Scientists say that a tortoise travels more kilometers in a lifetime than a rabbit.
故事全文
兔子长了四条腿，一蹦一跳，跑得可快啦。乌龟也长了四条腿，爬呀，爬呀，爬得真慢。
有一天，兔子碰见乌龟，看见乌龟爬得这么慢，就想戏弄戏弄他，于是笑眯眯地说：“乌龟，乌龟，咱们来赛跑，好吗？”乌龟知道兔子在开他玩笑，瞪着一双小眼睛，不理也不踩。兔子知道乌龟不敢跟他赛跑，乐得摆着耳朵直蹦跳，还编了一支山歌笑话他：
乌龟，乌龟，爬爬爬，
一早出门采花；
乌龟，乌龟，走走走，
傍晚还在门口。
乌龟生气了，说：“兔子，兔子，你别神灵活现的，咱们这就来赛跑!”
“什么？乌龟，你说什么？”
“咱们这就来赛跑。”
兔子一听，差点笑破了肚子：“乌龟，你真敢跟我赛跑？那好，咱们从这儿跑起，看谁先跑到那边山脚下的一棵大树。预备！一，二，三，－－－”兔子撒开腿就跑，跑得真快，一会儿就跑得很远了。他回头一看，乌龟才爬了一小段路呢，心想：乌龟敢跟兔子赛跑，真是天大的笑话！我呀，在这儿睡上一大觉，让他爬到这儿，不，让他爬到前面去吧，我三蹦二跳的就追上他了。
“啦啦啦，胜利准是我的嘛！”兔子把身子往地上一躺，合上眼皮，真的睡着了。再说乌龟，爬得也真慢，可是他一个劲儿地爬，爬呀，爬呀，爬，等他爬到兔子身边，已经筋疲力尽了。兔子还在睡觉，乌龟也想休息一会儿，可他知道兔子跑得比他快，只有坚持爬下去才有可能赢。于是，他不停地往前爬、爬、爬。离大树越来越近了，只差几十步了，十几步了，几步了………终于到了。
兔子呢？他还在睡觉呢！兔子醒来后往后一看，唉，乌龟怎么不见了？再往前一看，哎呀，不得了了！乌龟已经爬到大树底下了。兔子一看可急了，急忙赶上去可已经晚了，乌龟已经赢了。
兔子跑得快，乌龟跑得慢，为什么这次比赛乌龟反而赢了呢？
Full Story
The rabbit has four legs, jumps and jumps, and runs fast. The tortoise also has four legs, crawling, crawling, crawling really slowly.
One day, the hare met a tortoise and saw the tortoise crawling so slowly, so he wanted to tease him, so he smiled and said, “Turtle, tortoise, let’s race, okay?” The tortoise knew that the hare was joking at him and stared at him. Eyes, ignore or step on. The hare knew that the tortoise would not dare to race with him, so he bounced with his ears and made a folk song to joke him:
Tortoise, tortoise, crawling,
Go out early in the morning to pick flowers;
Tortoise, tortoise, walk around,
Still at the door in the evening.
The tortoise became angry and said, “Rabbit, rabbit, you can be creative, let’s race!”
“What? Turtle, what are you talking about?”
“Let’s race now.”
When the rabbit heard it, he almost burst his stomach with a smile: “Turtle, do you dare to race with me? Well, let’s run from here to see who runs to a big tree at the foot of the mountain first. Get ready! One, two, Three,-“The rabbit ran away, it ran so fast, and it ran a long way in a while. He looked back and saw that the tortoise had only climbed a short distance, and thought: What a big joke that the tortoise dared to race with the rabbit! Me, get a good night’s sleep here, let him climb here, no, let him climb to the front, I hopped and caught up with him.
“La la la, the victory must be mine!” The rabbit lay down on the ground, closed his eyelids, and really fell asleep. Besides, the tortoise is really slow to crawl, but he keeps crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling, and when he climbs to the rabbit, he is already exhausted. The rabbit is still sleeping, and the tortoise wants to rest for a while, but he knows that the rabbit runs faster than him, and he can only win if he insists on climbing. So he kept crawling, crawling, and crawling forward. It’s getting closer and closer to the big tree, only a few dozen steps away, a dozen steps away, a few steps…Finally, it’s here.
Where’s the rabbit? He is still sleeping! After the rabbit woke up, he looked back, alas, why is the tortoise missing? Looking ahead, oops, that’s terrible! The tortoise has climbed under the big tree. The hare looked anxious, but it was too late to catch up in a hurry, the tortoise had already won.
The hare runs fast and the tortoise runs slow. Why did the tortoise win this competition?
