雀巢扶枝

分类: 英语故事 

Magpies are clever birds. At the beginning of every spring it can predict the weather for the whole year.

If this year will be windy, it will move its nest from tall trees to a low crotch of a tree.

By doing so it keeps the nest away from the threat of winds, but not from the threats by human. When adults pass the nest, they often take away the young birds. Even children can easily climb up the trees and take away the eggs. The magpie knows know the keep away dangers in future, but overlooks the imminent dangers.

喜鹊是一种很聪明的鸟,每年一开春,它就能预测出全年的气候。

如果这年多风,它就会把自己的巢从很高的大树顶上搬下来,移到低矮的树杈上。

这样一来,尽管风对鸟巢构不成威胁,但人为的灾难却接踵而至:大人路过时,常常将小鹊儿摸走;小孩可以轻易地爬上来,掏走鹊蛋。喜鹊虽然知道防备将来的灾难,却忽视了迫在眉睫的危险。
