  Rumor travels fast One day, a man named Mao Kong said to Ai Zi: A duck laid one hundred eggs at one time.一天，一个叫毛空的人对艾子说：“一只鸭子一次生了一百个蛋。” Ai Zi didn’t believe him. Mao Kong added: Maybe there were two ducks.艾子不相信。毛空又说：“那可能是两只鸭子生的吧。” Ai Zi still didn’t believe him. Mao Kong went on saying: Maybe there were three ducks.艾子还是不相信。毛空就说：“那可能是三只鸭子生的”。 And so he repeatedly changed his words until he increased the number of the ducks to ten. Once again, Ai Zi didn’t believe him.就这样，毛空一再改口。最后一直增加到10只鸭子。艾子还是不相信。 After a while, Mao Kong told Ai Zi another thing: Last month, a piece of meat which is thirty meters wide and twenty meters long fell down from the sky. Ai Zi didn’t believe it. Mao Kong changed his words again: That’s a twenty-meter-wide and ten-meter-long meat. Ai Zi still didn’t believe him.过了一会儿，毛空又对艾子说：“上个月，一块30米宽，20米长的肉从天上掉了下来。”艾子不信，毛空又改口说：“是20米宽，10米长”。艾子依然不信。 Finally, Ai Zi asked Mao Kong: Whose duck is it? And where is the meat?最后艾子问毛空：你说的鸭子是谁家的？肉掉到了什么地方？ Mao Kong said: I heard all of them from others.毛空说：“那些都是在路上听别人说的。” Then Ai Zi told his students: It’s a bad habit of spreading rumors like Mao Kong.于是，艾子对他的学生说：“你们可不能像毛空那样道听途说。” 1. laid:（lay的过去式）下蛋 2. add: 补充说 3. repeatedly：反复地 4. increase: 增加 5. spread rumor: 散播谣言 小朋友们，今天的故事是一个成语（idiom），你们能猜出来这个成语的名字吗？请大家留言告诉我吧。 |
