美国小学英语教材5:第59课 长牙象彭博·库巴(5)
LEADING HIS OWN HERD
领导象群
It was not only Kubwa’s strength that made him win, for often he tackled elephants who were really stronger than himself. But he was quick to think and could get into action before the other fellow had decided on his plan of attack. As Kubwa got bigger and bigger, he got deadlier and deadlier in action.
库巴的力量不仅使他获胜,因为他经常对付比他强壮的大象。而且他反应敏捷,能在另一个人决定进攻计划之前就采取行动。随着库巴变得越来越大,他在行动中变得越来越致命。
The time came when he only snorted when his mother spoke to him, and he threw dust in his older brother’s eyes, which was not a respectful thing to do. Finally he fought his uncle, who started out to teach him his place, and gave his uncle such a horrid poke in the shoulder with his long sharp tusks that the old leader went off in a huff. Several of the older ones went with his uncle, but the others stayed and listened politely and lazily to this energetic young boss, and Kubwa began to lead his own herd.
当他妈妈跟他说话的时候,他才哼了一声,然后把尘土撒在哥哥的眼睛里,这是不礼貌的。最后他和他的叔叔打了一架,他的叔叔开始教他自己的位置,并且用他的长而锋利的长牙在他的肩膀上戳了一个可怕的洞,以至于老领头象气冲冲地走了。几个年纪大一点的跟着他的叔叔去了,其他的留在那里,礼貌而懒散地听着这位精力充沛的年轻领头说话。
Kubwa adored commanding! He said when it was time to go into the swamp, and when into the forest, and he led the way to the grazing grounds and sampled all the best places for miles around. Soon he began bullying any strangers or any small groups that wandered into the grazing grounds when he was there; mild-mannered elephants, who wanted a quiet life and good food, began to come and join his herd in order to get the benefit of his protection and his leadership.
库巴崇拜指挥!他指导大家,什么时候该去沼泽,什么时候该去森林,然后他带路来到牧场,在方圆数英里内的所有最好的地方取样。不久,他就开始欺负任何陌生人或在他在场时溜达到牧场的小团体;温文尔雅的大象想要安静的生活和美味的食物,为了得到他的保护和领导,它们开始加入他的象群。
