The Picture of the Cheese | 奶酪图片

English Original

One day, a lady saw a mouse running across her kitchen floor. She was very afraid of mice, so she ran out of the house, got on a bus, and went to the shops. There, she bought a mousetrap. The shopkeeper said to her, "Put some cheese in it, and you will soon catch that mouse."

The lady went home with her mousetrap, but when she looked in her cupboard, she could not find any cheese. She did not want to go back to the shop because it was very late. So, she cut a picture of some cheese out of a magazine and put that in the trap.

Surprisingly, the picture of the cheese was quite successful! When the lady came down to the kitchen the next morning, she found a picture of a mouse in the trap beside the picture of the cheese!


中文翻译

一天,一位女士看到一只老鼠从她的厨房地板上跑过。她非常害怕老鼠,于是冲出房子,坐上公共汽车去了商店。在那里,她买了一个捕鼠器。店主对她说:“在里面放些奶酪,你很快就能抓住那只老鼠。”

这位女士带着捕鼠器回到家,但当她查看碗橱时,发现里面没有奶酪。因为天色已晚,她不想再回商店。于是,她从杂志上剪下一张奶酪的图片,放进了捕鼠器。

令人惊讶的是,这张奶酪图片竟然奏效了!第二天早上,当这位女士下楼来到厨房时,她发现捕鼠器里奶酪图片的旁边,有一张老鼠的图片!
