我的小乌龟

我有一只小乌龟，是我乐姐送我的。

i have a little turtle that my sister le gave me.

它到我家后，我兴奋极了。心想：让它在我以前养过鱼的鱼缸里安家吧！我小心翼翼的把它放到鱼缸里，它一动不动的爬在鱼缸的水底，头和脚紧缩在甲壳里，我蹲在鱼缸旁边很久，可它还是没动。我心想也许它看我是陌生人有点害怕吧！我就赶紧出去了。我用我的小潜望镜在门后悄悄的观察它，过了一会它把头和脚都伸出来，慢慢的游动了。

when it arrived at my house, i was very excited. i thought: let it settle down in the fish tank where i used to raise fish! i carefully put it in the fish tank, it still crawls on the bottom of the tank, head and feet tight in the shell, i squatted beside the tank for a long time, but it still did not move. i thought to myself that maybe it was a little afraid to see me as a stranger! so i went out. i used my small periscope to observe it quietly behind the door. after a while, it stretched out its head and feet and swam slowly.

就这样，小乌龟成了我的朋友，每当我吃饭时就想起，小乌龟也该吃饭了，自己赶紧放下碗，跑过去给它丢一些专给它买的“乌龟粮”。隔两三天就给它换一次水。可它总是懒洋洋的一动不动，我给它起名“慢龟龟”。

in this way, the little tortoise became my friend. whenever i ate, i thought that it was time for the little tortoise to eat. i quickly put down the bowl and ran to throw some "tortoise food" for him. change it every two or three days. but he is always lazy and motionless. i named him "slow turtle".

转眼间一个多月过去了，一天我发现慢龟龟的背上长满了绿油油的毛，我想它长大了，和小猫小狗一样身上要长毛了，高兴的去告诉了爸爸。爸爸一看笑着说：“那是你给它喂的龟食多了，吃不了粘在它的背上发霉了”。

in a flash, more than a month passed. one day, i found that the back of the slow turtle was covered with green hair. i think it will grow up like a cat and a dog. i went to tell my father happily. dad smiled and said, "that's because you've fed him too much turtle food. it's moldy on his back.".

星期天，我拿了刷子给它洗澡，可爱的慢龟龟被我洗得干干净净。我想它经常不见太阳，让它在外边晒晒太阳吧！看着它爬在哪里舒服的一动不动，我想它跑不了，就去玩了，等回来再去看它不知什么时候悄悄溜走了。我的小乌龟呢？我急着找啊找…… 终于找到了，在一个小沟里缩着身子一副很害怕的样子，我轻轻的把它捧起来，一看，它的身上又脏了，从此我给它改名叫“脏脏”。

过了几天我又给它洗澡，又让它晒太阳，这次它又悄悄的溜走了，从此我再也没有见到它，我疼爱的小乌龟就这样丢了。

after a few days, i bathed him again and let him bask in the sun. this time, he slipped away quietly. i never saw him again. my beloved turtle was lost.

直到现在我一想起它心里就很难过。

until now, i am very sad when i think of it.
