When summer came, a duck sat in her nest. 夏天到了，一只鸭子坐在她的窝里。 Her little babies were about to hatch(孵化). 她的小宝宝们就要孵出来了。 The egg split one by one, but the biggest egg was still there. 一只又一只的蛋裂开，但是最大的蛋仍然在那里。 Finally, it broke. The baby was big and ugly. 最后，它破裂了。宝宝又大又丑。 The second day, the mother duck took them to a brook(小溪). 第二天，鸭妈妈带着一家去河沟里去了。 One duck after another jumped in. 一只又一只的小鸭子跳了进去。 The big ugly duck swam by the other ducks. 这个又大又丑的鸭子在别的鸭子边上游泳。 But because of ugly, he was squeezed out and laughed at. 但因为它长得很丑，受到了排挤和嘲笑。 He felt himself so inferior. 他因此觉得很自卑。 In desperation, the ugly duckling flew over the fence(篱笆) and ran away. 无奈之下，丑小鸭飞过篱笆逃走了。 Once he met a hunting dog, but the hound just smelled him and did not grab him. 有一次，他遇到了一只猎狗，但那只猎狗只是闻闻他，并没有把他抓住。 He was glad: 'I am so ugly that even a hunting dog dare not bite(咬) me!' 他庆幸道:“我丑得连猎狗也不敢咬我了！” He congratulated himself on his escape, and at the same time he was humbled by his ugliness(丑陋). 他为自己逃生而庆幸，同时为自己长得丑而自卑。
