boasting he can run faster than any one else

生氣的烏龜忍不住回了野兔的話

但還是有其他動物可以跑贏你的

I bet there is nobody in the world that can win against me, I am so speedy...

我敢打賭世界上沒有人可以跑贏我，我跑得這麼快...

annoyed by such bragging,the tortoise accepted the challenge

受野兔刺激的烏龜接受了野兔的挑戰

a course is planned, and the next day at dawn, they stood at starting line.

賽程計畫好後，隔天黎明，野兔和烏龜一同站在起跑點上

the hare yawned sleepily, as the meek tortoise tried to slowly off

野兔睡眼惺忪地打了哈欠，溫順的烏龜則以緩慢的步伐前進

when the hare saw how painfully slow his rival was

當野兔看到烏龜如此緩慢的腳步時

he decided, half  asleep on his feet, to have quick nap.

I will have forty winks and catch up with you in minute.

我閉著眼睛都能在幾分鐘內追上你

the hare woke with a start from fitful sleep

and gazed around,  looking for the tortoise

but the creature is only a short distance away

但是烏龜只往前跑了一小段距離

having barely covered the third of the course.

waiting aside, relieved. The hare decides, he might  as well have his breakfast too..

在旁等待的野兔決定乾脆來吃點早餐吧

and off he went to munch some cabbages he noticed in a near by field

牠跑到附近的農地裡吃了些高麗菜

but the heavy meal and hot sun made his eye lashes droop

飽餐一頓後再加上溫暖的陽光讓他想睡覺了

with a careless glance of the tortoise, now half way along the course

沒注意到烏龜離終點只剩下一半的距離了

and smiling at the thought of the look on tortoise's face

when it saw the hare speed by, he fell asleep

牠要在烏龜面前嘲笑他，想著想著牠又睡著了

the sun started to sink below the horizon

and the tortoise, who have been plotting towards the winning post since morning

而從早上就開始努力向終點線前進的烏龜

at that very point the hare woke with a jolt

he could see the tortoise a speck in a distance

his tongue longing and gasping for breath

just a little more and he be first at the finish

but the hare's last leap was just too late.

但野兔最後的飛躍來還是慢了一步

The tortoise had beaten him to the winning post

he slumped down beside the tortoise who was silently smiling at him..

牠在烏龜旁跌坐下來，烏龜則在旁對牠微笑

"slow and steady does it every time" he said

並且對野兔說：「緩慢但穩健的步伐能幫助你成就每一件事」
