放生故事:殺蛇
KILLING A SNAKE
殺蛇
A farmer who lived south of Jiangshan， Zhejiang thought it was fun to kill things. He was married， but even though he was already over forty years old， he had only one child， a little boy， nine years old when our story takes place.
浙江省江山有一個農(nóng)夫，他很喜歡殺生。他已經(jīng)結(jié)婚了，雖然在這個故事發(fā)生的時候，他雖然已經(jīng)四十歲了，才只有一個九歲的兒子。
One day in May， 1868， this mean farmer took his hoe out to his field as usual， but on the way， he spotted a huge snake. When the snake saw the farmer， it looked at him with a pleading expression and stuck out its tongue. It seemed to be afraid， and begging for mercy.
1868年5月的一天，這個吝嗇的農(nóng)夫像往常一樣拿著鋤頭到地里去了。在路上，他看見了一條蛇。他看見了一條大蛇。蛇看到農(nóng)夫的時候，用一種懇求的神情看著他，還伸出了舌頭。它看起來很害怕的樣子，好像在求饒。
"I'm going to kill you， no doubt about it，" the farmer said. The snake started to escape， but as quick as a wink， the farmer chopped it in two with his hoe.
"我會殺了你，毫無疑問。"農(nóng)夫說。蛇于是開始逃竄。一眨眼，農(nóng)夫就用鋤頭把蛇剁成兩截。
When the snake stopped moving， the farmer put his hoe on his shoulder and went his way with a cheerful song.
當(dāng)蛇再也不動了以后，農(nóng)夫把鋤頭扛在肩上，哼著輕快的歌兒走了。
That evening， his son dreamed that a huge snake bit him. He was so frightened that he woke up. He had a fever and chills. He kept muttering， "It hurts！ It hurts so much！"
那天晚上，他的兒子夢到有一條大蛇咬他。他嚇醒了，發(fā)起了高燒，還不停顫抖。他一直喃喃地說："疼！好疼啊！"
His father didn't know what to do when he saw that. He was just about to go run for a doctor when his son stuck out his tongue ―― but it was so long！ It didn't look like a little boy's tongue at all. It looked just like a snake's tongue！
他的爸爸不知道如何是好。他正要去請醫(yī)生時，他的兒子伸出了舌頭――那么長的舌頭！看起來一點也不像是一個小男孩的舌頭，而是像那條蛇的！
"My son！ My son！" his father called， but it was too late. In a few moments，his son was dead.
"孩子！孩子！"他的父親叫喚起來，但是太晚了，不久他的兒子就死了。
