英语美文欣赏5

Once a circle missed a wedge. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

从前有个圆圈，它丢失了⼀⼩段。它想变得完整，于是它到处寻找它所丢失的那部分。由于不完整，它只能滚的⾮常慢。在路上，它羡慕过花⼉，它与⾍⼦聊过天，它享受了阳光的照耀。它遇到过很多不同的⼩段，可是没有⼀个适合它。所以它把它们丢在路边，继续寻找。有⼀天，圆圈找到了可以与它完美结合的⼀⼩段，它⾮常⾼兴。

它现在终于完整了，不缺任何东西了。它把丢失的那段装到⾃⼰⾝上，然后滚了起来。它现在是个完整的圆圈了，它可以滚的很快快到忽视了花⼉，快到没有时间和⾍⼦们说话。当它意识到由于它滚的太快，世界变得如此的不同时，它便停了下来，把找到的那段卸下丢在路边，慢慢地滚⾛了。
