你知道低估某人是什么意思吗？

Do you know what it means to underestimate someone?

意思是你假设他们的能力比实际要低。

It means you assume that they're less capable than they truly are.

你因未能认识到他们真正的能力、智慧或潜力而轻视了他们。

You sell them short by not realizing their actual abilities or intelligence or potential.

在今天的故事情节中，一只较大的动物以一种相当高调的方式低估了一只较小的动物。

In today's story, a larger animal underestimates a smaller one in a rather high flying way.

我是Rebecca Scheer，欢迎来到在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市DLF Halton剧院现场录制的Circle Round节目。

I'm Rebecca Scheer, and welcome to Circle Round live at the DLF Halton Theater in Charlotte, North Carolina.

今天我们要讲的故事名为《被低估的甲虫》。

Today, our story is called The Underestimated Beatle.

这个故事灵感来源于南美洲最大国家巴西的民间传说。

It's inspired by tales from Brazil, the largest country in South America.

与我同台的是一组才华横溢的演员：弗兰克·多明格斯、卡罗琳·李和菲尔·瓦夫拉。

Joining me on stage is a trio of talented actors, Frank Dominguez, Caroline Lee, and Phil Vavra.

为我们提供音乐伴奏的是独一无二的埃里克·希梅洛尼斯。

Providing musical accompaniment is the one and only Eric Schimelonis.

请大家围坐一圈，来听听这个关于被低估的甲虫的故事。

So circle around everyone for the underestimated Beatle.

当你造访巴西茂密的热带雨林时，可能会看到一种相当独特的昆虫——帝王龟甲虫。

Visit the lush rainforests of Brazil, and you may see a rather distinctive insect known as the imperial tortoise beetle.

所有甲虫都有坚硬的外壳保护，对吧？

Now, all beetles have a hard protective shell, right?

而帝王龟甲虫的外壳

And the imperial tortoise beetle's shell

外骨骼！

Exoskeleton!

刚才说什么？

What was that?

我的外壳其实叫外骨骼。

My shell is actually called an exoskeleton.

外骨骼，对。

Exoskeleton, right.

谢谢，帝王龟甲虫。

Thank you, imperial tortoise beetle.

叫我甲虫就行。

You can just call me beetle.

我是不是出场太早了？

Did I enter the story too early?

哦，没有。

Oh, no.

没有。

No.

没有。

No.

我们正要讲到是什么让你如此与众不同。

We were just getting to the part about what makes you so distinctive.

你知道的，你的外骨骼？

You know, your My exoskeleton?

对。

Right.

外骨骼。

Exoskeleton.

我会记住的。

I will remember that.

而且，你知道，这景象确实相当壮观。

And, you know, it's really quite the sight.

全身闪烁着金色、翡翠绿和蓝宝石蓝的光芒。

All shimmering gold and emerald green and sapphire blue.

如此明亮闪耀，看起来就像一颗珍贵的宝石。

So bright and sparkly it looks like a precious jewel.

是的。

Yes.

但它并非一直如此。

But it didn't always look this way.

这正是我们要讲的故事。

And that's the tale we're about to tell.

准备好了吗？

Are you ready?

要讲我的外骨骼故事了吗？

To tell the tale of my exoskeleton?

我随时都准备好讲述我的外骨骼故事。

I'm always ready to tell the tale of my exoskeleton.

不过现在想想，'外骨骼'这个词从下咽部说出来确实不太顺口。

Though now that I think of it, exoskeleton doesn't exactly roll off the hypopharynx.

从什么部位说出来？

Roll off the what?

舌头。

The tongue.

昆虫的舌头被称为下咽。

An insect's tongue is called a hypopharynx.

哦。

Oh.

既然外骨骼这个词有点拗口，我们就干脆

So since exoskeleton is kind of unwieldy, let's just

说壳吧。

say shell.

我没问题。

Works for me.

很久很久以前，当动物统治世界的时候，甲虫的壳是棕色的。

So long, long ago, back when the world was ruled by animals, beetle's shell was brown.

暗淡无光的棕色。

Dull, drab, brown.

甲虫并不介意自己朴素的颜色。

Beetle didn't mind her plain hue.

然而时不时地，她会望着雨林中的其他动物，心中涌起一股渴望。

Yet every now and again, she would look at the other animals in the rainforest and feel a sense of yearning.

噢，要是我能有巨嘴鸟那样橙黄相间的明亮喙色，或是像猩红金刚鹦鹉那样羽毛红如骄阳该多好。

Oh, if only I had bright colors like toucan with her orange and yellow beak or scarlet macaw with feathers as red as the sun.

虽然箭毒蛙可能剧毒无比，但它身上那些亮蓝色的斑点实在令人惊叹。

And while poison dart frog may be extremely well poisonous, his bright blue spots are incredible.

最让甲虫羡慕的是鹦鹉的色彩。

The animal whose colors beetle admired most was parrot.

鹦鹉的羽毛还能更惊艳些吗？

Could parrot's plumage be any more stunning?

它的羽毛闪耀着金色、翡翠绿和蓝宝石般的光泽。

His feathers are shimmering gold and emerald green and sapphire blue.

如此明亮夺目，宛如珍贵的宝石。

So bright and sparkly, look like precious jewels.

但为什么要渴望我永远无法拥有的东西呢？

But why yearn for something I'll never have?

有一天，甲虫决定探索雨林的新区域。

One day, Beetle decided to explore a new part of the rainforest.

她正沿着蜿蜒的小溪爬行，朝一棵巨大的巴西坚果树前进，突然——

She was crawling beside a winding stream, heading toward a great big Brazil nut tree, when all of a sudden

哎呀呀，瞧瞧我们这儿来了谁？

Well, well, well, what do we have here?

甲虫抬头望去，只见树下蹲着一只她从未见过的动物，正用满口尖牙撬开巴西坚果。

Beetle looked up, crouched beneath the tree, cracking Brazil nuts with a mouthful of sharp teeth, was an animal she had never seen before.

它浑身棕毛，长着胡须，腿细臀翘。

He was brown and furry with long whiskers, thin legs, and a prominent rump.

看起来像是某种啮齿动物，介于松鼠和豚鼠之间？

He looked to be some sort of rodent, like a cross between a squirrel and a guinea pig?

不得不说，小家伙，我可从没见过你这样的。

I've gotta say, I've never seen anything like you, little one.

当我看到你一点点挪过来时——真的是挪，你爬得那么慢，我还以为你是只蜗牛。

When I spied you inching this way, and I do mean inching, You were crawling so slowly, I thought you were snail.

但蜗牛跟你比起来简直是个短跑健将。

But snail is a sprinter compared to you.

要是它跟你比赛，你只能跟在它扬起的尘土——或者说黏液痕迹后面吃灰。

If he challenged you to a race, you would be eating his dust or his trail of slime.

黏液。

Mucus.

什么？

What?

那种黏液叫鼻涕虫分泌液。

That slime is called mucus.

一种由蛋白质和粘多糖组成的复杂水凝胶。

A complex watery gel made of proteins and mucopolysaccharides.

由什么组成的？

Made of what?

算了。

Never mind.

听着，我叫甲虫。

Look, my name is Beetle.

我通常不会来森林的这个区域。

I don't usually visit this part of the forest.

顺便告诉你，我并没有那么慢。

And for your information, I'm not that slow.

我动作够快了。

I move quickly enough.

真的吗？

Do you though?

我是说，虽然我们刚认识，但我有种感觉，当你启程来这片森林时，这棵巴西坚果树可能还是棵幼苗，甚至还没发芽呢。

I mean, I know we just met, but something tells me that when you started your journey to this part of the forest, this Brazil nut tree was still a sapling, if not a seed.

甲虫畏缩了一下。

Beetle cringed.

多亏了这只无礼的啮齿动物，她的血液开始沸腾了。

Thanks to this rude rodent, her blood was beginning to boil.

血淋巴。

Hemolymph.

什么？

What?

甲虫没有血液。

Beetles don't have blood.

我们有血淋巴。

We have hemolymph.

哦，好吧。

Oh, okay.

她的血淋巴开始沸腾了。

Her hemolymph was beginning to boil.

听着，先生。

Look, mister.

我受够你的侮辱了。

I have had it with your insults.

你到底是谁？

Who are you anyway?

这只啮齿动物挺起毛茸茸的胸膛。

The rodent puffed out his furry chest.

我叫刺豚鼠，速度是我的强项。

Agouti is my name and speed is my game.

别被我的外表欺骗了。

Don't let my appearance fool you.

虽然我腿细屁股圆，但跑得比兔子还快。

I may have skinny legs and a plump rump, but I can run faster than a rabbit.

甲虫开始思考，刺豚鼠的速度和自大哪个更胜一筹？

Beetle began to wonder which was greater, Agouti's speed or his smugness?

刺豚鼠，你或许很快，但如果我需要

You may be fast, Agouti, but if I need

要想快速到达某个地方，我总能找到办法。

to get somewhere quickly, I always find a way.

快速到达？就你？

Get somewhere quickly, you?

是的。

Yes.

必要的时候，我可以行动迅速。

I can move fast if I have to.

真的吗？

Really?

好吧。

Okay.

那不如你证明一下，用实际行动说话？

Then how about you prove it and put your money where your mouth is?

你是说用我的上颚、下颚、下唇和上唇吗？

You mean my mandibles, maxillae, labium, and labrum?

你的什么？

Your what?

你的什么？

Your what?

其实我没有嘴。

I don't actually have a mouth.

作为昆虫，我有上颚、下颚和上唇。

As an insect, I have mandibles, maxillae, a labrum.

随便吧。

Whatever.

重点是，我要挑战你穿越雨林赛跑。

The point is I challenge you to a race through the rainforest.

甲虫眨了眨眼睛。

Beetle blinked her eyes.

你想和我赛跑？

You want me to race you?

是啊。

Yeah.

除非你害怕了。

That is unless you're too scared.

你肚子里有蝴蝶在扑腾吗？

Do you have butterflies in your tummy?

腹部。

Abdomen.

什么？

What?

我的肚子应该叫腹部。

My tummy is called an abdomen.

而且，我才不怕呢。

And no, I'm not scared.

太好了。

Great.

那我们来谈谈奖品吧。

Then let's talk about prizes.

比赛的获胜者必须得到奖品。

The winner of the race has got to receive a prize.

是这样吗？

Is that so?

刺鼠和甲虫抬头望去，只见鹦鹉正从巴西坚果树顶翩然飞下。

Agouti and beetle glanced up, and there, fluttering down from the top of the Brazil nut tree was Parrot.

斑驳的阳光透过树枝，让他金色、绿色和蓝色的羽毛闪闪发光。

The dappled light streaming through the branches made his gold, green, and blue feathers sparkle.

我想我听说你们俩要举行一场比赛。

I believe I heard that you two are holding a race.

当然，我们正在准备，

You bet we are,

鹦鹉。

parrot.

刺鼠想看看我们俩谁更快。

Agouti wants to see which one of us is faster.

哦，我知道我们俩谁更快。

Oh, I know which one of us is faster.

我就想看着你用你的模特儿、最大值、实验室和图书馆来咀嚼我的尾气。

I just wanna watch you chew on my fumes with your mannequins, maximums, laboratories, and libraries.

你是说我的上颚、下颚、下唇和上唇吗？

You mean my mandibles, maxillae, labium, and labrum?

随便吧。

Whatever.

好吧，如果你们俩真要比赛，那么奖品确实该有。

Well, if you two really are holding a race, then a goodie is right.

获胜者应该得到奖励，我愿意提供一个。

The winner should receive a prize, and I would like to offer one.

这没必要，鹦鹉。

That isn't necessary, Parrot.

哦，不，这很有必要。

Oh, yes, it is.

告诉我们奖品是什么。

Tell us about the prize.

我打赌那一定是件非常精致的物品。

I bet it's a really fancy item.

鹦鹉歪了歪头。

Parrot cocked his head.

与其说是物品，奖品更像是一个选择权。

The prize isn't so much an item as a choice.

一个选择？

A choice?

没错。

Yes.

比赛的获胜者将有权做出一个选择，一个非常特别的选择。

Whoever wins the race shall get to make a choice, a very special choice.

一旦你做出选择，相信我，一切都会变得不同。

And once you make it, trust me, things will never look the same.

休息片刻后就会发生。

Happens after a quick break.

欢迎回到Dale F.现场直播的Circle Round节目。

Welcome back to Circle Round Live at the Dale F.

位于北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市的哈尔顿剧院。

Halton Theater in Charlotte, North Carolina.

今天，我们的故事名为《被低估的甲虫》。

Today, our story is called The Underestimated Beatle.

休息前，敏捷的刺鼠结识了棕色的小甲虫。

Before the break, quick and agile Agouti made the acquaintance of little brown beetle.

看到甲虫爬行缓慢，这只迅捷的啮齿动物向昆虫发起了赛跑挑战。

Seeing how slowly beetle crawled, the speedy rodent challenged the insect to a race.

鹦鹉无意中听到对话，并为胜者提供了一份奖品。

Parrot overheard the conversation and offered the winner a prize.

谁先到达终点线，就可以挑选一件任意颜色的新外套。

Whoever reaches the finish line first may choose a new coat of any color.

告诉我你的愿望，我会为你量身定制。

Tell me what you wish, and I'll have it made to order.

刺鼠的胡须脸顿时亮了起来。

Agouti's whiskered face lit up.

多酷的奖品啊。

What a cool prize.

我超爱自己的速度，但一直不喜欢我的皮毛。

I love how fast I am, but I've never been a fan of my coat.

全是棕色，太单调了。

It's all brown and boring.

我想要像美洲豹那样的皮毛，黄色的毛发配上黑色斑点。

I want a coat like jaguars with its yellow fur and black spots.

我不介意朴素的棕色，但确实喜欢鲜艳漂亮的外衣或外壳这个主意。

I don't mind being plain brown, but I do like the idea of a bright beautiful coat or shell.

鹦鹉伸出喙，在泥土上划了条线。

Parrot stuck out his beak and marked a line in the dirt.

起跑线就在这里，巴西坚果树前面。

This is the starting line right here in front of the Brazil nut tree.

当我说开始，你们俩就从这条线出发，穿越森林比赛。

When I say go, the two of you shall take off from this line and race through the forest.

你们要沿着蜿蜒的小溪前行，直到它汇入河流。

You shall follow the winding stream until it empties into the river.

谁先到达那个地点，谁就是赢家。

And whoever reaches that spot first is the winner.

甲虫和刺豚鼠各就各位。

Beetle and Agouti got into position.

鹦鹉展开他金色、绿色和蓝色的翅膀，向两侧伸展。

Parrot stretched his gold, green, and blue wings out to either side.

好了，选手们。

All right, racers.

各就各位，预备，跑。

On your mark, get set, go.

鹦鹉翅膀刚一挥下，刺豚鼠就如离弦之箭般冲了出去。

The moment Parrot brought his wings down, Agouti took off like a shot.

呜呼，我出发啦。

Woo hoo, here I go.

这只圆臀疾蹄的啮齿动物跑得比以往任何时候都快。

The round, rumped, fleet footed rodent ran faster than he ever had before.

他飞速掠过叶片光亮的红木树丛。

He blazed past glossy leafed mahogany trees.

我正飞速前进。

I'm blazing.

我正飞速前进。

I'm blazing.

并疾穿过茂密的蕨丛。

And bolted through thickets of ferns.

我正在冲刺。

I'm bolting.

我正在冲刺。

I'm bolting.

他跃过布满苔藓的岩石。

He hurdled over moss covered rocks.

我正在跨栏。

I'm hurdling.

我正在跨栏。

I'm hurdling.

并在缠绕的藤蔓下疾行。

And hustled under clinging vines.

我正在疾行。

I'm hustling.

我正在疾行。

I'm hustling.

地形崎岖，他的脚底灼热，但刺豚鼠决心要带着那件新外套离开。

The terrain was tough and his feet were burning, but Agouti was determined to walk away with that brand new coat.

你不是应该说跑开吗？

Don't you mean run away?

看看这速度。

Check out this speed.

终于，阿古提来到了溪流与河流交汇处，鹦鹉正在那里等候。

At last, Agouti came to the place where the stream met the river and where Parrot was waiting.

欢迎

Welcome

来到终点线，阿古提。

to the finish line, Agouti.

是的，欢迎。

Yes, welcome.

阿古提惊讶地张大了嘴，因为鹦鹉并非独自一人。

Agouti's mouth dropped open because Parrot was not alone.

站在他旁边的是甲虫。

Standing by his side was Beetle.

这是怎么回事？

What is going on here?

甲虫，你是怎么赢过我的？

How did you manage to beat me, Beetle?

我跑得屁股都冒火了。

I ran that race like my rump was on fire.

我知道你尽力了。

I know you did.

但问题就在这儿。

But that's the thing.

我根本就没跑。

I didn't run.

哼，你要是比我先到终点，那肯定也不是爬着来的。

Well, you didn't exactly crawl if you finished the race before I did.

我也没爬。

I didn't crawl either.

我用的是这个。

Instead, I used these.

她扭了扭棕色的身子，噗嗤一声，身侧突然弹出两片小翅膀。

She gave her brown body a wiggle, and just like that, out from her sides popped two tiny wings.

没人说过比赛必须用跑的，刺豚鼠，所以我飞过来了。

Nobody ever said anything about having to run the race, Agouti, so I flew.

她拍打翅膀，腾空而起。

She beat her wings and lifted into the air.

刺豚鼠的眼睛瞪得像碟子一样圆。

Agouti's eyes went wide as saucers.

你会飞？

You can fly?

我不知道你会飞。

I didn't know you could fly.

关于我，你不知道的事还多着呢，刺豚鼠。

There's a lot you don't know about me, Agouti.

对吧，鹦鹉？

Isn't that right, Parrot?

确实如此。

It sure is.

阿古提，当你看到这个小生物爬来爬去时，你做了一个重大的假设。

Agouti, when you saw this little creature crawling around, you made a big assumption.

你假设她很慢。

You assumed she was slow.

你假设她只能吃蜗牛扬起的尘土。

You assumed she would be eating snail's dust.

或者粘液。

Or mucus.

关键是，你仅凭那一刻的观察就对她下了判断。

The point is, you judged her only by what you observed in that moment.

因此，你低估了她。

Therefore, you underestimated her.

我低什么？什么？

I under what or what?

我们

We

在故事开头就解释过了。

explained it at the start of the story.

意思是你低估了她的真实能力。

It means you assumed that she was less capable than she truly is.

正是如此。

Exactly.

但问题是，阿古提。

But here's the thing, Agouti.

如果你花时间去

If you take the time to get

了解一个人，你就会知道他们的真实面貌。

to know someone, you'll learn what they're really like.

你会了解他们的能力、优势，以及让他们兴奋或飞翔的特质。

You'll learn about their abilities, their assets, the things that make them tick or fly.

如果你不花这个时间，那就只是在以貌取人。

If you don't take that time, you're just judging a book by its cover.

现在，甲虫的外壳即将焕然一新。

And now, Beetle's cover is about to look a whole lot different.

鹦鹉凝视着甲虫。

Parrot gazed over at Beetle.

告诉我，甲虫，你想要什么样的外壳？

Tell me, Beetle, what kind of coat or shell would you like?

说实话，我想看起来像你一样，鹦鹉。

In truth, I'd like to look like you, Parrot.

全身闪耀着金色、翡翠绿和蓝宝石蓝，明亮夺目得像颗宝石。

All shimmering gold and emerald green and sapphire blue, so bright and sparkly I look like a jewel.

很好。

Very well.

你的愿望实现了。

Consider your wish granted.

而刺豚鼠，你要记住这个教训。

And Agouti, consider your lesson learned.

阿古蒂垂头丧气地溜走了，发誓再也不妄下结论。

Agouti hung his head and skulked away, vowing never to jump to conclusions again.

至于甲虫，她骄傲地展示着崭新的战利品飞走了。

As for Beetle, she flew away, proudly displaying her brand new prize.

从那以后，巴西雨林中的帝王龟甲虫就一直是金绿蓝相间，闪闪发亮如宝石般耀眼。

And ever since, the imperial tortoise beetles of the Brazilian rainforest have been gold and green and blue, so bright and sparkly they look like a jewel.

这一切都要归功于一只被低估的小昆虫，它最终翱翔着取得了胜利。

It's all thanks to an eensy weensy underestimated insect who soared to victory.

现在轮到你了。

Now it's your turn.

如果你是一只动物，穿着梦想中的外衣或甲壳，你会是什么样子？

If you were an animal wearing the coat or shell of your dreams, what would you look like?

找些纸和丰富的彩笔，然后画出你绚丽外衣的图画。

Find some paper and plenty of things to color with, then draw a picture showing your spectacular coat.
