2022年初中英語(yǔ)課外閱讀：兩個(gè)士兵和強(qiáng)盜

The Two Soldiers And The Robber

Two Soldiers travelling together were set upon by a Robber.One of them ran away,but the other stood his ground,and laid about him so lustily with his sword that the Robber was fain to fly and leave him in peace.When the coast was clear the timid one ran back,and,flourishing his weapon,cried in a threatening voice,“Where is he?Let me get at him,and I’ll soon let him know whom he’s got to deal with.”But the other replied,“You are a little late,xiaogushi8.com my friend:I only wish you had backed me up just now,even if you had done no more than speak,for I should have been encouraged,believing your words to be true.As it is,calm yourself,and put up your sword:there is no further use for it.You may delude others into thinking you’re as brave as a lion:but I know that,at the first sign of danger,you run away like a hare.”

兩個(gè)士兵和強(qiáng)盜

兩個(gè)士兵一起趕路，途中被一個(gè)強(qiáng)盜所劫。其中一個(gè)士兵馬上逃跑了，另一個(gè)則勇敢地握著劍立在原地，強(qiáng)盜不得不其他而逃。這時(shí)候，那個(gè)膽小的士兵跑過(guò)來(lái)，抽出劍，壯著膽子大喝一聲：“他去哪里了?讓我來(lái)對(duì)付他，我要讓他知道面對(duì)的是什么人。”然而，那名勇敢的士兵說(shuō)：“你來(lái)晚了，我的朋友。要是你剛才能幫我就好了，即便只是嘴上這樣說(shuō)也好，因?yàn)槲視?huì)受到你這番話的鼓舞，并且相信這些話都說(shuō)真的。而現(xiàn)在，還是請(qǐng)你把劍收好，已經(jīng)沒(méi)有必要再用它了。你只能欺騙其他人，讓人們以為你像雄獅一樣勇敢;而我卻知道，在遇到危險(xiǎn)時(shí)，你會(huì)像兔子一樣落荒而逃。”
