The Great Issumboshi
偉大的Issumboshi

Issumboshi was so small that he could not do any useful work on the family farm.
Issumboshi 非常矮小以至于他不能為家里的農(nóng)場(chǎng)做任何有用的活。

His grandfather became tired of feeding (喂養(yǎng)) such a useless man and sent him away to the city.
他的祖父厭倦了養(yǎng)這樣一個(gè)無(wú)用之人，所以想把他送到了城里。

“Learn to become a warrior (武士),” he told his grandson. “Then perhaps you will grow into a man of normal height.”
他的祖父對(duì)他說(shuō)：“學(xué)著成為一個(gè)武士，說(shuō)不定你就能和正常的男子一樣高了?！?/div>

Issumboshi’s journey was long and dangerous.
Issumboshi的旅程既漫長(zhǎng)又艱難。

However, because he was so brave and clever, he at last reached the city safely.
然而，由于他的勇敢和聰明，最終他安全地到達(dá)了城市。

To his surprise, the streets were empty. The people of the city were hiding in their houses from a giant (巨人).
令他驚訝的是，街道空空如也。城里的人都呆在他們的屋子里躲避巨人。

Then brave Issumboshi went out to meet the giant.
勇敢的Issumboshi出去見(jiàn)了巨人。

The giant tried to pick him up and eat him, but Issumboshi was so small and quick that the giant could not catch him.
巨人試著抓起他并吃掉他，但是Issumboshi長(zhǎng)得太小，動(dòng)作太快以至于巨人抓不住他。

Issumboshi struck (擊打) again and again at the giant with his sword (劍).
Issumboshi不斷地用他的劍擊打巨人。

Soon, the giant fell into the ground and died.
不久，巨人就倒地死了。

“Oh, what a great warrior he is!” the people of the city shouted as they came out of their houses.“What a great hero this young man is!”
城里的人一邊跑出家門(mén)一邊呼喊“喔，多么勇敢的一個(gè)武士??！這個(gè)年輕人真是一個(gè)大英雄啊！”

Hearing this, Issumboshi felt so proud that he stood up straight.
Issumboshi聽(tīng)到這個(gè)，他感到很自豪地站得筆直。

“Hm,” he told himself, “I am already taller than I was. How wise my grandfather was to send me to the city!”
?他對(duì)自己說(shuō)：“恩，我已經(jīng)比我原來(lái)高了很多了。我祖父把我送到城里實(shí)在是太明智了！”
