A Brief Introduction of Chapter 5
第五章簡(jiǎn)介
Wilbur heard somebody call him and say that she would be his new friend. However, he could not see where his new friend was. And his new friend just said that Wilbur would see her in the morning of the next day. Wilbur was so excited that he was hard to fall asleep.
威爾伯聽到有人叫他，并告訴他，她將成為他的新朋友?？墒?，威爾伯只聽到這位新朋友的聲音并沒有看到她的身影。這位新朋友告訴威爾伯，第二天早上就能看見她了。這使得威爾伯極為興奮，并難以入睡。
Finally, in the morning, Wilbur met with his new friend, a spider, whose name is Charlotte.
終于，威爾伯在早上與他的新朋友，一只名為夏洛特的蜘蛛見面了。
In the eyes of Wilbur, Charlotte is nice-looking, but because she ate flies, Wilbur thought he was bloodthirsty.
在威爾伯眼中，夏洛特很好看。但是，因?yàn)樗陨n蠅為食，威爾伯又認(rèn)為她很殘忍。
My thinking:
我的思考：
In my opinion, Charlotte is honest, clever and hard-working. I would combine the content of the article to demonstrate my points.
在我看來,夏洛特是誠實(shí)，勤奮且聰明伶俐的。我將結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容來證明我所說的這幾點(diǎn)。
Firstly, Charlotte is honest.
首先，夏洛特是誠實(shí)的。
Charlotte was honest to her own beauty.
"I think you're beautiful," said Wilbur.
"Well, I am pretty," replied Charlotte. "There's no denying that. Almost all spiders are rather nice-looking. I'm not as flashy as some, but I'll do. I wish I could see you, Wilbur, as clearly as you can see me."
威爾伯說：“我想你應(yīng)該很漂亮?！薄笆堑模液芷?，”夏洛特回答道?！斑@一點(diǎn)無可否認(rèn)。幾乎所有的蜘蛛都很好看，我不如其他的華麗，但我會(huì)努力的。我多么希望我能看到你啊，威爾伯，就像你能那么清楚地看到我一樣?！?/p>
Charlotte just said what was true.
夏洛特只說真話。
"Why not ? It's true, and I have to say what is true. I am not entirely happy about my diet of flies and bugs, but it's the way I'm made.
為什么不呢？這是真的，而且我也只說真話。對(duì)于以蒼蠅和昆蟲為食物我也不是很高興，但這確實(shí)這樣做了。
Secondly, Charlotte is hard-working.
第二，夏洛特是勤奮的。
Charlotte did what she could in case of starving to death.
夏洛特做了她所能做的一切以免被活活餓死。
"Well, you can't talk," said Charlotte. "You have your meals brought to you in a pail. Nobody feeds me. I have to get my own living. I live by my wits. I have to be sharp and clever, lest I go hungry. I have to think things out, catch what I can, take what comes.
“（對(duì)此）你不能多說什么”，夏洛特說道：“你的三餐都是別人放在桶里拿給你。（我呢？）沒有人喂我，我必須自力更生。我靠自己的智慧活著。我不得不，否則我就得挨餓。我必須絞盡腦汁思考，抓住一切我能抓住的東西，不管來到我面前的是哪種昆蟲，我都要設(shè)法去捕捉。
Thirdly, Charlotte is clever.
第三，夏洛特是聰明伶俐的。
There is no doubt that Charlotte is clever. The words she spoke to Wilbur，the answers she gave to Wilbur questions all of these shown her cleverness to us.
毫無疑問，夏洛特極為聰慧。她對(duì)威爾伯所說的話，她對(duì)威爾伯所提的問題給出的答案，所有的這些，無不向我們展示了她的聰慧。
“And furthermore," said Charlotte, shaking one of her legs, "do you realize that if I didn't catch bugs and eat them, bugs would increase and multiply and get so numerous that they'd destroy the earth, wipe out everything?"
“而且，”夏洛特晃著她的一條腿說道：“你沒有意識(shí)到嗎？如果我不抓昆蟲，不吃昆蟲，那么昆蟲的數(shù)量將不斷地成倍增加，最后會(huì)多到足以毀滅地球，摧毀一切的?！?/p>
Something that I learn from Chapter 5
我從第五章學(xué)到的一些東西
1. We can not judge someone just by their outwards appearances.
1. 我們不能只通過外在來判斷一個(gè)人。
We all know that the more beautiful things they are, the more dangerous they will be. For example, roses are very beautiful, but they are always covered with thorns; and if mushrooms are very beautiful, then they may be poisonous.
眾所周知，越漂亮的東西一般越危險(xiǎn)。例如，玫瑰花很漂亮，但多刺; 漂亮的蘑菇，一般都有毒。
Charlotte was nice-looking, but she was bloodthirsty, just as Wilbur said.
就像威爾伯所說的，夏洛特很漂亮但她同時(shí)又嗜血如命。
That is to say, we can not judge someone by their outwards appearances. Charlotte's appearance was beautiful, but in Wilbur's opinion, she was cruel and bloodthirsty.
也就是說，我們不能通過外貌來判斷一個(gè)人。夏洛特的外觀很美，但在威爾伯看來，她很殘忍。
Underneath her rather bold and cruel exterior, she had a kind heart, and she was to prove loyal and true to the very end.
在她那勇敢而殘酷的外表下，是一顆善良的心，她的忠誠和正直最終都得到了證實(shí)。
2. We should not judge someone or something sidedly, but wholly.
2.我們應(yīng)該全面而不是片面地判斷一個(gè)人或一件事。
Wilbur thought that Charlotte was bloodthirsty just because she ate flies as her breakfast.
威爾伯僅憑夏洛特以蒼蠅為早餐就認(rèn)定她嗜血如命。
However, as Charlotte says, what she ate was not decided by herself but by her mother and her mother's mother.
然而，正如夏洛特所說，她吃什么并不是由她自己決定，而是她媽媽和她媽媽的媽媽也就是她的祖先決定的。
Thus we could not say that she was bloodthirsty just by what she ate. Actually, she was kind-hearted. And this would be shown in the following articles.
因此，我們不能僅憑她吃的食物就說她嗜血如命。實(shí)際上，她非常善良。她的善良將在接下來的文章中體現(xiàn)出來。
