Last Dream for an Old Oak Tree

老橡树最后的梦想

Once upon a time, there was a large oak tree in the forest. This oak tree was very old.

从前，森林里有一棵大橡树。这棵橡树已经生长了很久了。

One day during the hot summer, a mayfly flew by and alighted on the oak tree.

在一个炎热的夏日，一只蜉蝣飞落到这棵橡树上。

"Mayfly, you must be so sad." "Why?" "You get to live only one day." The oak tree felt sorry for the mayfly.

“蜉蝣，你一定很伤心。”“为什么？”“你只能活一天。”橡树对蜉蝣感到很惋惜。

Mayfly asked, "Don't you live for one day?"

蜉蝣问，“难道你不是只活一天吗？”

"No. I live much longer than you do." The mayfly nodded and asked, "Really? Then, are you happy now?"

“不是，我比你活得要久得多。”蜉蝣点点头问：“真的吗？那么，你现在幸福吗？”

"Yes, I am very happy," replied the oak tree.

“是的，我很幸福，”橡树回答说。

Then the mayfly smiled and said, "I am very happy, too. Although I get to live only one day, it doesn't matter. You get to live much longer than I do, but we are both happy, aren't we?" The oak tree and the mayfly kept on talking to each other.

然后，蜉蝣笑着说：“我也很幸福。虽然我只能活一天，但没有关系。你虽然比我活得长得多，但我们都很幸福，不是吗？”橡树和蜉蝣不断的互相交谈。

Eventually, the mayfly leaned on the oak tree and fell asleep.

最后，蜉蝣靠在橡树身上睡着了。

"Mayfly!" The oak tree called the mayfly, but the mayfly did not respond. He had died.

“蜉蝣！”橡树叫蜉蝣，蜉蝣但没有回应。他已经死了。

"Mayfly, have a happy dream." The oak tree blessed the mayfly for the last time.

“蜉蝣，做个好梦。”橡树最后一次送上对蜉蝣的祝福。

Many weeks then passed. Spring, summer and fall went by, and winter came.

时光如梭，春天、夏天、秋天、冬天不断交替着。

Finally, the long-awaited day of Christmas came.

终于，期待已久的圣诞节到来了。

The oak tree wanted to rest now.

橡树想好好休息一下了。

The oak tree had a dream on Christmas day.

在圣诞节那天橡树做了一个梦。

In the dream, pretty flowers were abundant and butterflies were flying in a green forest.

梦里有一片绿荫荫的森林，百花争艳，蝴蝶飞舞。

In this dream, the oak tree met the mayfly.

梦里，橡树还看到了蜉蝣。

The mayfly said, "Come play here. It is such a happy place."

蜉蝣说，“来这里玩吧。这是一个快乐的地方。”

The oak tree was very pleased indeed to see the mayfly.

看到蜉蝣，橡树着实高兴。

While the oak tree was sleeping, his roots were cut.

橡树渐渐沉睡了过去，他的根被砍了。

It was time for the oak tree to die.

橡树的寿命也到头了。

The oak tree went to a happy world dreaming.

橡树去了另一个梦想中的幸福世界。
