语篇翻译

Long long ago, there was an orphan(孤儿) boy who lived only with an old buffalo(水牛).For this reason, he was called “the Cowherd”. The Lady Queen mother in heaven had a beautiful young daughter.46.她是最小的女儿,而且她擅长于纺织。

People called her “the Weaving Maid”. It was said that she could even weave(编制)the colorful clouds.

The Weaving Maid got bored with her life in heaven, and she wanted to live like an ordinary person.47. 她爱上了牛郎,于是和他结了婚。Her mother was very angry about the marriage. 48.She asked her daughter to come back, or she would kill the Cowherd and their children.

She had to leave. Her husband was very worried when the old buffalo began to say, “I may die at any time. You can peel off my skin after I die, and it will help you fly when you stand on it. Go and get your wife back.” The cowherd did that sadly. 49.As he got nearer and nearer, the Lady Queen mother found him. So she took out her hairpin and drew a river between the couple.

People were very sympathetic with them. To help them, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month,50. thousands of magpies(喜鹊)formed a bridge across the river so that they could meet each other once a year. The river became the Milky Way, and the Weaving Girl and the Herd Boy turned into two stars.

Which of your hands do you use most ? Very few of us use both of our hands well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take things with either of their hands, but in about two years they like to use their right hands. Scientists don’t know why this happens. They have studied it. They think our animal ancestors(祖先) are right-handed. This may not be true. Monkeys are our closest relations(近亲) in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other—but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed ones. Next time you visit the zoo, watch the monkeys carefully. You’ll see that some of them will swing(摆动)from their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most human beings(人类) use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for the left-handed ones. We live in a right-handed world.
