那时,他看着自己下方那深不可测的大峡谷,如同张着血盆大口一般,他好害怕自己会掉下去。他想:“如果我可以用我的嘴巴接住尾巴,那我就可以抓住自己,不会往下掉啦!”于是,他把身子蜷成一团,去咬他的尾巴。不幸的是,他的脊椎不够灵活,并没有咬住。他继续尝试着,下方黑色的深渊显得更可怕了,小鱼觉得自己快要崩溃了。
The fish was about to give up, when the ocean, who had been watching with mixed feelings of pity and amusement, said, “What are you doing?” “Oh,” said the fish, “I’m terrified of falling into the deep dark abyss, and I’m trying to catch hold of my tail in my mouth to hold myself up.” So the ocean said, “Well, you’ve been trying that for a long time now, and still you haven’t fallen down. How come?” “Oh, of course, I haven’t fallen down yet,” said the fish, “because, because--I’m swimming!”
在小鱼快要放弃的时候,大海发话了,他一直观察的小鱼的一举一动,感到同情又好笑。大海说:“你在干什么?”“噢,"小鱼回答,"我怕自己会掉进下面那个大峡谷里,所以我试着用嘴巴接住尾巴,这样就不会掉下去。”然后大海说:“那么,你已经试了这么久了,却还没有掉下去,这又是为什么呢?”“噢,我当然还没有掉下去,”小鱼说,“那是因为,因为我在游泳呀!”
