中文故事

小面包师皮普想要评价(appraise)他新做的面包。他看着它,这是一个显眼(conspicuous)的金黄色面包,然后笑了。“这是我最好的作品!”他宣布。他的朋友,一只名叫赫特教授的聪明老猫头鹰,栖息在附近。“确实如此,皮普,”赫特教授说,“它看起来很连贯(coherent)。外壳很光滑,我能维持(sustain)我的信念,里面的面包也同样可爱。”皮普高兴地发光。他努力打磨(polish)了每一个细节。光是闻起来就值得注意(noteworthy),一种甜美的酵母香气,令人垂涎欲滴。但接着,皮普注意到了一件事。一只小苍蝇停在了面包皮上。“哦,讨厌!”他喊道,他快乐的心情变得酸(sour)了。赫特教授眨了眨他大大的眼睛。“别担心,皮普。一只小苍蝇并不会毁掉你所有的辛勤工作。我们只需要把它掸掉。”皮普点点头,意识到猫头鹰说得对。一件小事不能抵消他巨大的努力。

英语故事

The little baker, Pip, wanted to appraise his new bread. He looked at it, a conspicuous golden-brown loaf, and smiled. "This is my finest work!" he declared. His friend, a wise old owl named Professor Hoot, perched nearby. "Indeed, Pip," Professor Hoot said, "it looks very coherent. The crust is smooth, and I can sustain my belief that the inside is just as lovely." Pip beamed. He had worked hard to polish every detail. The smell alone was noteworthy, a sweet, yeasty aroma that made your mouth water. But then, Pip noticed something. A tiny fly had landed on the crust. "Oh, bother!" he cried, his happy mood turning sour. Professor Hoot blinked his large eyes. "Do not fret, Pip. A single fly does not ruin all your hard work. We can simply brush it off." Pip nodded, realizing the owl was right. One small thing could not undo his great effort.
