The Tortoise and the Hare
/ðə ˌtɔːtəs ən ðə ˈheə(r)/
/ðə ˌtɔːrtəs ən ðə ˈher/
- one of the best known of Aesop's Fables. It tells the story of a race between a tortoise (= a creature that moves very slowly) and a hare (= a creature that can run very fast). The hare is very confident of winning, so it stops during the race and falls asleep. The tortoise continues to move very slowly but without stopping and finally it wins the race. The moral lesson of the story is that you can be more successful by doing things slowly and steadily than by acting quickly and carelessly.
乌龟和野兔：伊索寓言中最著名的之一。它讲述了乌龟（一种移动非常缓慢的生物）和野兔（一种可以快速奔跑的生物）之间的竞赛故事。野兔非常有信心获胜，因此在比赛中停下来睡着了。乌龟继续非常缓慢地移动，但是没有停止，最终赢得了比赛。这个故事的道德教训是，与缓慢而粗心地行动相比，缓慢而稳定地做事可以使您更加成功。
