Fish is Fish

《魚就是魚》

At the edge of the woods there was a pond, and there a minnow and a tadpole swam among the weeds. They were inseparable friends.

森林邊有個水塘，水塘里有一條小鯉魚和一隻小蝌蚪。他們是形影不離的好朋友。

One morning the tadpole discovered that during the night he had grown two little legs.

一天早上，小蝌蚪發現自己一夜間長出了兩條小腿。

「Look」 he said triumphantly. 「Look, I am a frog!」

「快看，快看，我是青蛙了。」小蝌蚪向小鯉魚炫耀自己的腿。

「Nonsense,」said the minnow. 「How could you be a frog if only last night you were a little fish, just like me!」

「胡說，你怎麼可能變成青蛙呢，昨晚你還象我一樣是條小魚呢！」小鯉魚說。

They argued and argued until finally the tadpole said,「Frogs are frogs and fish is fish and that s that!」

他們爭論不休，最後小蝌蚪說：「青蛙是青蛙，魚是魚，該是什麼就是什麼！」

In the weeks that followed, the tadpole grew tiny front legs and his tail got smaller and smaller.

接下來的幾周里，小蝌蚪慢慢長出了兩個小前腿，他的尾巴也越來越小。

And then one fine day, a real frog now, he climbed out of the water and onto the grassy bank.

最後，蝌蚪真變成了一隻青蛙。他爬出了水面到了長滿青草的岸上。

Then one day, with a happy splash that shook the weeds, the frog jumped into the pond.

一天，水花四濺，水草搖擺，青蛙興高采烈跳回到了池塘。

「Where have you been?」asked the fish excitedly.

「你去過什麼地方？」鯉魚興奮地問。

「I have been about the world----hopping here and there,」said the frog,「and I have seen extraordinary things.」

「我四處跑，去了很多想去的地方。我看到了很多稀奇古怪的東西。」青蛙說。

「Like what? 」asked the fish.

「看到什麼了？」鯉魚問。

「Birds,」said the frog mysteriously. 「Birds!」 And he told the fish about the birds, who had wings, and two legs, and many, many colors.

「鳥，」青蛙神秘地說。「有鳥！」他告訴鯉魚，鳥有兩個翅膀，有兩條腿，而用有很多顏色。

As the frog talked, his friend saw the birds fly through his mind like large feathered fish.

青蛙講鳥飛的時候，鯉魚滿腦子是著長滿羽毛的魚。

「What else?」asked the fish impatiently.

「還有呢？」鯉魚迫不及待地問。

「Cows,」said the frog.「Cows! They have four legs, horns, eat grass, and carry pink bags of milk.」

「牛，還有牛！」青蛙說。「他們有四條腿，有角，吃草的，還有個裝了牛奶的粉紅的袋子。」

「And people!」said the frog.「Men, women, children!」 And he talked and talked until it was dark in the pond.

「還有人！有男人，女人，孩子！」青蛙不停地說著，直到晚上。

But the picture in the fish s mind was full of lights and colors and marvelous things and he couldn t sleep. Ah, if he could only jump about like his friend and see that wonderful world.

但鯉魚的腦子裡滿是光亮、色彩和很多不可思義的事。他興奮地睡不著。哈，如果自己也能象青蛙一樣跳出池塘看看外面精彩的世界就好了。

And so the days went by. The frog had gone and the fish just lay there dreaming about birds in flight, grazing cows, and those strange animals, all dressed up, that his friend called people.

那天以後，青蛙又離去了，鯉魚每天都在那兒想著能飛的鳥、吃草的牛，還有那些離奇的動物---那些衣著盛裝的被他朋友稱為人的動物。

One day he finally decided that come what may, he too must see them. And so with a mighty whack of the tail he jumped clear out of the water onto the bank.

一天，他下定決心無論如何也要去看看外面的世界。他用力一擺尾巴，跳到了岸上。

He landed in the dry, warm grass and there he lay gasping for air, unable to breathe or to move.「Help,」he groaned feebly.

他躺在又干又熱的草地上，不停地喘著氣，他不能呼吸，也不能動彈。「救命！」他奄奄一息地發出微弱的呼救聲。

Luckily the frog, who had been hunting butterflies nearby, saw him and with all his strength pushed him back into the pond.

幸好，正在附近捕捉蝴蝶青蛙看見了他，青蛙用盡全身力氣把他推進了池塘。

Still stunned, the fish floated about for an instant. Then he breathed deeply, letting the clean cool water run through his gills. Now he felt weightless again and with an ever-so-slight motion of the tail he could move to and fro, up and down, as before.

已暈過去的鯉魚立刻浮了上來。他深深地吸了口水，讓涼涼的水從鰓邊流過。現在他又感覺和以前一樣身輕如燕，尾巴輕輕一擺就能進退自如了。

The sunrays reached down within the weeds and gently shifted patches of luminous color. This world was surely the most beautiful of all worlds. He smiled at his friend the frog, who sat watching him from a lily leaf. 「You were right,」 he said. 「Fish is fish.」

陽光穿過森林照著池塘，檸檬色的點點波光在水面晃動著。這個世界才是最美的世界。他笑著對坐在蓮葉上的青蛙朋友說：「你是對的，魚就是魚。」
