初三英语故事：风筝
A kite, which has been allowed to soar to the clouds, called out from on high to a butterfly down below in the valley.
“I can assure you that I can scarcely make you out. Confess now that you feel envious when you watch my so lofty flight.”
“Envious? No indeed! You have no business to think so much of yourself. You fly high, it is true; but you are always tied by a string.
Such a life, my friend, is very far removed from happiness. But I, though in truth but little exalted, fly wherever I wish. I should not like all my life long to have to conduce to someone else’s foolish amusement.”
【译文】
一只乘风而起高飞入云的风筝，从上空向下面山谷中一只蝴蝶喊道：
“老实告诉你，我几乎看不清你了。你得承认看到我飞得这么高，一定很羡慕吧。”
“羡慕吗?一点也不!你根本没有权利自以为有什么了不起。你飞得高，这是事实;但你却总是被系在绳上。朋友!这种生活跟幸福相去太远了。虽然我实际上没有什么好得意的，却能任意飞翔。我才不愿意一辈子专供他人作无聊的娱乐呢。”
