[00:09.26]葛黛瓦是考文垂勛爵的漂亮太太。她生活在十一世紀(jì)。 [00:13.90]According to an old legend,the Lord taxed the people of Coventry heavily and unjustly. [00:18.02]根據(jù)古老的傳說，勛爵攤在考文垂人身上的稅既重又不公平。 [00:22.15]If they did not pay those cruel taxes,they were thrown into prison. [00:25.29]如果人們付不出這些苛捐雜稅，就會(huì)被投入監(jiān)獄。 [00:28.42]Lady Godiva asked her husband to have mercy on the people,but her stony-hearted husband showed no pity. [00:33.11]葛黛瓦夫人懇求丈夫給人們一些憐憫，但她的鐵石心腸的丈夫毫不動(dòng)心。 [00:37.80]Again and again she asked him to be merciful,until at last,he answered jokingly,"I will do what you ask only if you will ride naked through the streets of Coventry at noon." [00:44.98]她一遍又一遍地懇求她丈夫?qū)捄裥?，直到最終，他開了個(gè)玩笑說：“如果你答應(yīng)在中午一絲不掛騎著馬穿過考文垂的大街小巷，你要我干什么我就干什么。” [00:52.17]Lady Godiva rode naked through the empty streets of Coventry the next day.

[01:05.10]家家門窗緊閉。勛爵未食前言，減輕了他加在市民頭上的稅負(fù)。 [01:11.42]Only one man,a tailor,had watched Lady Godiva as she rode through the streets. [01:14.91]在葛黛瓦夫人騎馬穿過大街時(shí)，只有一個(gè)裁縫偷看了。 [01:18.39]He cut a small hole in the door of his house,and peeped through this hole. [01:21.49]他在房門上挖了一個(gè)洞。透過洞眼，他窺測(cè)、偷看。 [01:24.58]The legend says that he became blind,and he has been known ever since as Peeping Tom. [01:28.82]據(jù)傳說他(因此)成了個(gè)瞎子。從此后，他就得名“扒眼湯姆”。 [01:33.05]LI MING IS ILL [01:36.05]Why isn’t Li Ming here today?Is he ill? [01:39.84]Yes,he is.He has a cold. [01:43.29]Did he go to see the doctor?

[02:23.58]這時(shí)一只狐貍走來了。它看見樹上的公雞，便自言自語："有只公雞當(dāng)早晚早餐可就太妙了。" [02:28.72]So the fox went up to the tree and said: [02:30.83]于是狐貍走到大樹前，說： [02:32.95]"Good morning,may dear friend.How are you?"

[03:09.04]"好啊，"公雞說。"哎，我看見那邊有只狗，正朝我們走來。 [03:12.00]Let’s ask the dog to come to our breakfast too." [03:13.89]我們請(qǐng)那只狗一塊兒去吃早飯吧。" [03:15.79]"A dog?"said the fox."Did you say a dog is coming?Then goodbye."He started to run. [03:19.65]"一只狗?你說有一只狗來了?嘔，再見。"狐貍說著拔腿就跑了。 [03:23.52]"My dear fox,why are you going?Don’t you like the dog?Why,aren’t all animals friends now?"said the cock.
