井底之蛙

井底之蛙 The Frog at the Bottom of the Well

从前有一只青蛙，住在一口井里。 Long ago, a frog lived in a well.

它抬头一看，天只有井口那么大。 It looked up and saw that the sky was only as large as the mouth of the well.

它想：这就是整个世界了。 It thought, “This is the whole world.”

有一天，一只大海龟走到了井边。 One day, a large sea turtle came to the well.

青蛙说：你下来看看吧，我这里最好玩了。 The frog said, “Come down and have a look. It is the most fun here.”

海龟说：大海一眼望不到边，比你的井大得多。 The turtle said, “The sea stretches farther than the eye can see. It is much larger than your well.”

青蛙听了，一句话也说不出来。 After hearing this, the frog could not say a word.

见识太少，就容易以为世界很小。 With too little experience, it is easy to think the world is small.

没去过别的地方，就说自己家最好，这就是井底之蛙。 If you have never been anywhere else but say your home is the best, that is 井底之蛙.
