Mole music （鼹鼠的音乐）_中英文

有没有那么一件事儿，你特别想做好。有没有那么一件事儿，你很努力的去做。有没有那么一件事儿，你一直坚持去做。有没有那么一件事儿，当你做的时候，你特别崇拜自己。有没有那么一件事儿，让你有伟大的设想。有没有那么一件事儿，让你觉得世界如此美好......

让我们来听听鼹鼠的那件事儿。

Mole lived all alone underground, he spent his days diggingtunnels.

At night he ate his supper in front of  the TV, and then went to bed.

Mole liked his life, but lately he had began to feel therewere something missing.

One night, on the televsion, a man played violin, he madethe most beautiful music mole had ever heard.

鼹鼠一个人住在地下，他每天都挖隧道。晚上他边看电视边吃饭，然后上床睡觉。鼹鼠觉得生活还不错，但是最近他总觉得缺点什么。一天晚上，鼹鼠看到电视里有个人在拉小提琴，那声音悠扬、动听是鼹鼠从没听过的。

“I want to make beautiful music, too. “ Mole said to himself.So the next day, he sent away for a violin of his own. Everyday, mole checkedhis mailbox. “ no violin. “ Finally, after nearly 3 weeks, it arrived, Mole wasso excited. He picked up the violin and drew the bow across the strings, butinstead of beautiful music, all he made was a horrible screeching sound. Moletried again. The violin still screeched ,but not quite so horribly.

“我也想拉出这样美妙的音乐。”鼹鼠对自己说。所以第二天鼹鼠写信给商店，要一架自己的小提琴。鼹鼠每天都查看自己的信箱。“没有小提琴”。终于，差不多过了三个星期，小提琴来了。鼹鼠好兴奋啊！他架起小提琴拿起弓往弦上拉。然而他并没有拉出美妙的音乐，反而是一阵刺耳的声音。鼹鼠又试了一次，小提琴还是发出刺耳的声音，但是却没有第一次那么难听了。

Mole kept at it, after about a week, he could play one note.Then, two. And before a month went by, he could play an entire scale. Molecontinued to practice. He learned to put notes together in a simple song. Yearswent by, Mole got better and better. He was happier than he’d ever been.

鼹鼠坚持练习。过了大约一个星期，他可以拉准一个音符了。又过了几天，他可以拉准2个音符了。一个月过去了，他可以拉一段音阶了。鼹鼠继续练习。他学会把音符放在一起，拉出一个简单的曲子。几年过去了，鼹鼠越拉越好。他比任何时候都感到开心。

During the day, as he dug tunnles. Mole hummed the music hewould play at night. Now Mole played even better than the man he’d seen on TVso long ago. Sometimes, he wondered what it would be like to play music forpeople. He imagined himself playing before a huge audience. He imagined that heplayed for president and queens. He even imagined that his music could reachinto people’s hearts and melt away their anger and sadness.

白天鼹鼠挖隧道。他边挖边哼着他晚上要拉的曲子。现在鼹鼠比他很久以前在电视上看到的那个人,拉得还要好。有时他会想;如果我给人们演奏会是什么样呢？他想象着自己在一大群观众面前演奏。他想象着自己为总统和女王演奏。他甚至想象自己拉出的音乐流进人们的心里，融化他们的愤怒，抚平他们的创伤。

Well maybe his music could even change the world. Molelaughed at himself,

“How silly I am” he thought. Imaging that my music could doall that, when no one has even ever heard it. Mole played one more song, thenput down his violin and went to sleep and dreamed beautiful peaceful dreams.

也许他的音乐可以改变世界呢？鼹鼠自嘲道：我多傻呀！想象我的音乐可以做这么多事情，可连一个人都没听过呢。鼹鼠又拉了一曲，然后放下他的小提琴上床睡觉了，他做了一个美丽又平安的梦。
