月亮上的小洞

An old story tells that in a very hot period the big snowy2 mountain losther covering3 of snow. Rivers dried up， trees withered4 and the mountainbecame covered in grey stones. The moon， always bright5 and shining6， wantedto help her friend. However， the only thing she thought of was to make a littlehole and blow through it. In this way， some magic dust7 that made her shinewould fall on the mountain in the form of snow.

有一個古老的故事，講的是在一個非常熱的時期，大雪山失去了積雪的覆蓋。河流干涸，樹木枯萎，山上布滿了灰色的石頭?？偸敲髁灵W耀的月亮想要幫助它的朋友。然而，它唯一想到的是給自己挖一個小洞，從洞里往外吹。這樣，讓它發(fā)光的魔法粉末就會以雪的形式落在那座山上。

Once opened， nobody could close the hole again. The moon didn’t mind，however. She went on blowing and after several nights lost all her white dust.The moon looked so empty that people couldn’t see her and the nights weretotally dark.

這個洞一旦打開，沒人能把它封上。然而，月亮并不介意。它繼續(xù)吹，經(jīng)過幾個晚上，它失去了所有的白色粉末。月亮空空如也，因此人們看不見它了，夜晚一片漆黑。

Seeing this， the mountain wanted to help her friend. So she lit a fire8inside herself until she became a volcano9. The fire turned the snow into awhite smoke10 that rose up to the moon. It filled her each night until shewas once again full and bright. However， when the smoke stopped， the holein the moon was still open， and she had to share her magic dust again untilshe was gone. They did the same thing again and again.

看到這一幕，大山想幫助它的朋友。所以它點燃了自己的內(nèi)部，直到變成一座火山。大火把雪變成了白煙，升到了月亮上面。白煙每天晚上都在填補那個洞，直到月亮再次變得又圓又亮。然而，當煙停止上升時，月亮上的洞仍然敞開著，它不得不再次分享自己的魔法粉末，直到自己消失。同樣的事，它們做了一次又一次。

The moon started her travels in the hope of finding a way to work it out. Thenshe came across a town that really needed her help. She was too weak to stop herkind heart， so she blew on the town until she herself stopped shining. Just like themountain， the town also found a way to make the her bright again.

月亮開始四處旅行，希望能找到解決這個問題的方法。后來它遇到了一個非常需要自己幫助的城鎮(zhèn)。月亮太心軟了，無法阻止自己善良的心，所以它把魔法粉末吹向城鎮(zhèn)，直到自己不再發(fā)光。就像那座大山一樣，小鎮(zhèn)也找到了讓月亮重新明亮起來的方法。

And so， every month， the moon shares her magic dust across the world untilshe was gone. She knows that in a few days her friends would find a way to makeher bright and shining again.

因此，每個月，月亮都會向全世界分享它的魔法粉末，直到它消失。它知道，幾天后，它的朋友們會找到一種方法，讓自己再次煥發(fā)光彩。
