綠鳥

A Green Bird

One day a man saw a green bird in a tree， the bird was singing happily.

The man said，“I’ll bring the bird home， I like it very much.”Unexpectedly(出乎意料地)，the bird repeated，“I’ll bring the bird home， I like it very much.”The man was joyful(高興) and said， “But， remember， you‘re bird， I'm man. I’ll bring you home.”The bird said，“But， remember ，you’re bird， I'm man. I抣l bring you home.”The man was interested(感興趣的)in the bird，“You say the same words as mine， cannot you say some other things?”The bird followed(跟著說)， “You say the same words as mine， can’t you say some other things?”

You’re boring(討厭的)，you can only repeat other people's words，?the man said， You're boring， you can only repeat other people's words，?the bird said.

The man was getting angry(生氣)，“I never repeat other people's words. If(如果)you can only repeat what I say， it's not much fun. I don't want to speak with you.”“I never repeat others people's words. If you can only repeat what I say， it's not much fun. I don't want to speak with you，?the bird， again， said the same words.

“You are foolish(愚蠢)， ”the man was angry.”You are foolish，“the bird said.

The man was very angry，\"I won't bring you home， you are only a bore(討厭的東西)， you make me very angry.\"The man hurried away(匆匆離開)， hearing what the bird said behind him，\"I won't bring you home， you are only a bore， you make me very angry.”

一天， 一個人看見樹上有一只綠色的鳥，這只鳥在歡快地歌唱。

這個人說：“我要把這只鳥帶回家，我很喜歡它。”出乎意料的是，這只鳥跟著他說：“我要把這只鳥帶回家，我很喜歡它。”

這個人大喜，說：“但是，記住，你是鳥，我是人，我要把你帶回家。”鳥說：“但是，記住，你是鳥，我是人，我要把你帶回家。”

這個人來了興趣：“你說我說過的話，你不能說其他的話嗎？”鳥跟著說：“你說我說過的話，你不能說其他的話嗎？”

“真沒勁，你只能學著別人說話。”這個人說。“真沒勁，你只能學著別人說話。”鳥說。

這個人開始生氣了：“我從不跟著別人學。如果你只能學我，就沒有意思，我不想和你說話了。”“我從不跟著別人學。如果你只能學我，就沒有意思，我不想和你說話了。”鳥還是說著那個人說的話。

“你真愚蠢。”這個人生氣了。“你真愚蠢。”鳥說。

這個人非常生氣：“我不帶你回家了，你只是一個討厭的東西，你太讓我生氣了。”這個人急匆匆地走了，他聽見鳥在他身后說：“我不帶你回家了，你只是一個討厭的東西，你太讓我生氣了。”
