双语故事 钓鱼不能三心二意

　　Old Cat and Little Cat were fishing together on the riverbank。

　　A dragonfly flew over。 The little cat saw it， put down his fishing pole， and tried to grab the dragonfly。 The dragonfly flew away， and the little cat， unable to grab it， stopped trying and went back to fishing on the riverbank。 As soon as Little Cat was back [lit： as soon as little cat looked]， Old Cat caught a big fish。

　　A butterfly flew over。 The little cat saw it， put down his fishing pole and again tried to catch it。 The butterfly flew away without the little cat having caught it， and Little Cat again went back to the riverbank。 As soon as he looked over at Old Cat， Old Cat had caught another big fish。

　　Little Cat said： 鈥淗ow annoying， why is it that I haven鈥檛 caught even one little fish？鈥�

　　Old Cat looked him over and said： 鈥淚f you鈥檙e fishing just fish， don鈥檛 be in two minds about it。 If you spend a while catching dragonflies， then you spend another while catching butterflies， how can you catch fish？鈥�

　　Little Cat listened to Old Cat鈥檚 words and begin to fish intently。

　　The dragonfly flew over again， and the butterfly flew over also， but it was as if Little Cat didn鈥檛 see them。 Not long after that， Little Cat caught a big fish。

　　老猫和小猫一块儿在河边钓鱼。

　　一只蜻蜓飞来了。小猫看见了，放下钓鱼竿，就去捉蜻蜓。蜻蜓飞走了，小猫没捉着，空着手回到河边来。小猫一看，老猫钓着了一条大鱼。

　　一只蝴蝶飞来了。小猫看见了，放下钓鱼竿，又去捉蝴蝶。蝴蝶飞走了，小猫又没捉着，空着手回到河边来。小猫一看，老猫又钓着了一条大鱼。

　　小猫说： 鈥溦嫫�人，我怎么一条小鱼也钓不着？鈥�

　　老猫看了看小猫，说： 鈥湹鲇憔偷鲇悖�不要这么三心二意的。一会儿捉蜻蜓，一会儿捉蝴蝶，怎么能钓着鱼呢？鈥�

　　小猫听了老猫的话，就一心一意地钓鱼。

　　蜻蜓又飞来了，蝴蝶又飞来了，小猫就象没看见一样。不大一会儿，小猫也钓着了一条大鱼。
