阿里巴巴和四十大盗-外研社改.pdf

很久很久以前，在古代波斯国住着一对兄弟。哥哥叫卡西 姆，是个贪婪的有钱人。弟弟叫阿里巴巴，贫穷却善良，家中 除了一间破屋，就只有三头毛驴，平日以砍柴为生。 有一天，阿里巴巴在森林里遇到一群强盗。他害怕极了， 赶紧爬到树上躲了起来。“一、二、三……”他数了数，一共 有四十个强盗。这群强盗来到一堆山石前，强盗首领对着山石 念道：“芝麻，开门。” 刹那间，不可思议的事情发生了，大石头竟然缓缓移开了， 出现了一个门。原来，这里竟然有个山洞！强盗们一个接一个 地走进洞里，洞门自动关上了。 Long long ago, a young man named Ali Baba lived in Persia. He was poor and kind. His elder brother, Cassim, was very rich. One day, Ali Baba went to the forest. He saw a troop of thieves come to a huge pile of rocks. “One, two, three…” Ali Baba counted. There were forty thieves. The captain said, “Open, Sesame.” Then a cave appeared in the rocks. They went in, and the door closed behind them. 阿里巴巴简直无法相信自己的眼睛。很快，洞门又打开了，强盗 们从里面走了出来。强盗首领念道：“芝麻，关门。”大石头像之前那 样堵上山洞，之后强盗们沿着来路骑马离开了。 强盗走后，阿里巴巴立刻从树上爬下来。他走到那堆山石前，试 着念道：“芝麻，开门。”洞门果然开了。令人吃惊的是，山洞里居然 藏着成堆的金银珠宝和钱币。阿里巴巴大笑起来，“哈哈，现在我也 是个有钱人了！”他立刻装了几袋金子，放到毛驴背上带回了家。 Soon the door opened again, and the thieves came out. The captain said, “Shut, Sesame.” And the door closed. The thieves rode away. Ali Baba climbed down the tree. He went to the rocks and said, “Open, Sesame.” The door opened at once. Inside the cave, Ali Baba saw piles of gold and countless bags of money. He loaded many bags of gold on his donkey and went home. 4 4 5 5 回家后，阿里巴巴将这件事告诉了妻子，妻子喜出望外。 阿里巴巴想了想又说：“先别顾着高兴，这件事不能让别人 知道，我们得尽快挖个洞把金子埋起来。” “没错，但是怎么也得先称一下这些金子，好知道咱们 到底多富有了呀。”阿里巴巴的妻子提议道。因为家中一贫 如洗，没有称量工具，阿里巴巴的妻子便去向嫂嫂借秤。 Ali Baba told his wife of his good luck. She was very happy. “Let’s weigh the gold. We should know how rich we are,” his wife said. They didn’t have scales, so Ali Baba’s wife went to borrow one from Cassim’s wife. 6 6
