在一个遥远的国家,有两位非常杰出的木匠,他们的手艺都很好,难以分出高下。有一天,国王突发奇想:“到底哪一个才是最好的木匠呢?不如我来举办一次比赛,然后封胜者为‘全国第一的木匠’。”于是,国王把两位木匠找来,为他们举办一次比赛:三天之内,谁刻的老鼠最为逼真,谁就是全国第一的木匠。胜者不但可以获得许多奖品,还可以得到册封。 In a distant country, there are two very outstanding carpenters, who are very good at craftsmanship and hard to distinguish. One day, the king whimpered: “Which one is the best carpenter? It’s better for me to hold a competition and then seal the winner as ’the nation’s number one carpenter’.” So the king brought in two carpenters. For them to host a match: Within three days, whoever carved the mouse is the most realistic, who is the country’s number one carpenter. The winner can not only get a lot of prizes, but also get a seal.
