Welcome to English in a Minute! Wolves are amazing animals. But they are also known for killing farm animals, like chickens and sheep. Cry Wolf 谎报军情;虚张声势 Anna: Last night, my roommate called saying she was hurt. So I rushed home. But she was fine. It was just a joke. Jonathan: That’s Nicole for you. She’s done that to me before, too. It’s risky to cry wolf like that...again and again... Anna: Yeah, one day she might really need help. And you know what? We won’t be there! A long time ago, a shepherd was bored while guarding his sheep. So for fun, he would shout, ’wolf’. Each time, villagers ran to help him. And each time, they found no wolf. Well, then a wolf really did attack. But when the boy cried ’Wolf,’ no one came. You can probably guess how this story ends. And that’s English in a Minute. |
