找朋友

张亚荣

[英语原文]

Sam is a little fish. He lives in the sea. He is very lonely. He wants to have a friend. The friend looks like him. Sam sees an ink fish. The ink fish has eight legs. He doesnt look like Sam. So Sam goes away. Sam meets a shark. He wants to say hello to the shark. The shark opens his big mouth. Sam runs away quickly. Sam is tired and hungry. He wants to have a rest. Then he sees a round fish. She says to him：“Hello！Would you like to be m y f r i e n d？”S a m answers：“Of course！ But you are round. I am flat.” The round fish says：“But we are both fishes.” Sam thinks and says：“You are right. Lets be friends.” They become good friends.

[漢语翻译]

塞姆是一条小鱼，他生活在海里。他很孤独，想要找一个朋友，那个朋友看起来要像他。塞姆看见一条墨鱼。墨鱼有8条腿，看上去不像塞姆。因此塞姆游走了。塞姆遇见一条鲨鱼。他想跟鲨鱼问好。鲨鱼张开大嘴，塞姆迅速地逃走了。塞姆又累又饿，它要休息一会儿。这时，他看见一条圆鱼，圆鱼对他说：“你好！你愿意做我的朋友吗？”塞姆回答：“好哇！可你是圆形的，我是扁的。”圆鱼说：“但是我们俩都是鱼啊！” 塞姆思考后说：“你说得对，让我们做朋友吧！”他们就成为好朋友了。

“世界上没有长得一样的两片树叶，也没有两个长得一模一样的人。要想找到看上去与自己一样的人做朋友，太难了。”这是小鱼塞姆悟出来的道理。
