Answer 1

大象和蜘蛛（翻译二）

In the morning, the sun came up slowly. It shone on the web. The web was beautiful in the sunlight.

早晨，太阳冉冉升起来了，照耀在网上。网在阳光下显得美极了。

The elephant woke up and moved slowly. He was looking for a place to die.

那头大象缓慢地移动着，它在寻找一块死亡地。

The songbird watched from the branch. The snake watched from the tree. The mouse did not move. The spider stayed at the edge of her web, and waited.

鸣鸟从树枝上瞧，蛇从树上面看，老鼠没有动静。蜘蛛停留在网边等待着。

The elephant walked into the sunlight and he saw the web. The web was every colour of the rainbow. It was blue and silver, purple and gold, yellow and pink and green.

大象走向阳光照射的地方，它看见了网。那网跟彩虹一样五颜六色，有蓝色、银色、紫色、金色、黄色、粉色和绿色。

“This,” thought the elephant, “is beautiful.”

“这儿很美。”大象想。

The animals watched in silence. The elephant lay down and the spider’s web fell over it. “So,” said the spider, “I caught an elephant. And now I am tired.”

动物们静静的看着。大象倒下来，蜘蛛的网落在了它身上。“瞧，”蜘蛛说，“我捉了一只大象，现在我已经累了。”

Later in the day people came into the forest. There they found a dead elephant. And next to the elephant was a small spider.

那天后，人们来到森林里，他们在那儿找到了一头死了的大象，在大象的旁边只有一只小蜘蛛。

The Elephant and the Spider (Part 2)
After their first meeting, the elephant and the spider became good friends. They would often go on adventures together, exploring the vast jungle and discovering new things. The spider was always impressed with the elephant's strength and size, while the elephant admired the spider's quick wit and cleverness.
One day, while they were out on an adventure, they came across a waterhole that was guarded by a fierce crocodile. The crocodile refused to let them pass, claiming that the waterhole was his and his alone. The elephant stepped forward and said, "We respect your ownership of the waterhole, but we are just passing through. We mean you no harm."
The crocodile was not convinced and said, "I don't trust anyone who comes into my territory without my permission. You'll have to fight me for the right to pass."
The elephant was hesitant to engage in a fight, knowing that his size and strength could easily crush the crocodile. But the spider had an idea. She whispered it to the elephant, and he nodded his agreement.
The spider quickly spun a web between two trees, creating a thick barrier that the crocodile could not get through. The crocodile became angry and charged at the spider, trying to break through the web. But the spider was too quick for him and darted around him, spinning more webs and creating a maze of obstacles that the crocodile could not navigate.
While the crocodile was occupied with the spider, the elephant quietly passed by and made his way to the other side of the waterhole. The crocodile eventually gave up and slunk away, defeated by the spider's cleverness and agility.
The elephant and the spider continued on their journey, proud of their teamwork and the way they had handled the crocodile's challenge. They knew that no obstacle was insurmountable if they worked together and used their different strengths to overcome it.
From that day on, the elephant and the spider became known throughout the jungle as a formidable team, feared and respected by all who knew them. And they continued to go on adventures, discovering new wonders and facing new challenges, together.
