THE CRYING APE 猿猴的哭泣 Long， long ago， a file of chariots rumbled quickly across the plain late one spring. The soldiers wore sparkling armor. Banners fluttered in the breeze. 很久以前的一个晚春， 一队战车轰隆隆地在平原上疾驰而 过。战士们穿着闪亮的盔甲，旌旗在风中飘扬。 Following them came several generals with their swords and spears. They were followed by a beautiful chariot. Sitting in the chariot was the great King of Chu. 车队后面跟着几个持剑和矛的将军。 在他们的身后是一辆漂亮的战车。坐在车上的是伟大的楚国国君。 Every year the King took a trip through his kingdom to inspect his land， to hunt， to train his troops， and to get out of his stuffy old palace. 每年国王都要启程视察他的国土，打打猎或训练他的军队以躲避他乏味的宫廷生活。 The King had a general called Yang Youchi who is very famous for his archery. Even now， over two thousand years later， people still remember what a good shot he was. He never missed. The King trusted him. During the great hunt the rabbits and deer and all the wild animals ran here and there in panic， but nowhere was safe from the arrows of General Yang Youchi. If he shot one hundred times， he hit his aim one hundred times. |
