10 The Lion King

(Mufasa, the lion king is telling Simba, his son, an important rule of life.)

Mufasa: Look, Simba, everything the light touches is our kingdom.

Simba: Wow!

Mufasa: A king’s time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here and will rise with you as the new king.

Simba: And this all be mine?

Mufasa: Everything!

Simba: Everything the light touches! What about that shadowy place?

Mufasa: That’s beyond our borders, you must never go there, Simba.

Simba: But I thought a king can do whatever he wants.

Mufasa: Oh, there’s more to being a king than getting your way all the time.

Simba: There’s more?

Mufasa: Simba, everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures from the 1)crawling ant to the 2)leaping 3)antelope.

Simba: But dad, don’t we eat the antelope?

Mufasa: Yes, Simba. But let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass and the antelopes eat the grass, and so we are all connected in a great circle of life. Simba, let me tell you something that my father told me. Look at the stars the great kings of the past look down on us from those stars.

Simba: Really?

Mufasa: Yes, so whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you, and so am I.

1、crawl v. 爬行

10 狮子王

（森林之王木法沙告诉小狮子辛巴一条重要的生命法则。）

木法沙：辛巴，你看，阳光所照到的一切都是我们的国度。

辛巴：哇！

木法沙：一个国王的统治期就如同太阳的起落一样。辛巴，总有一天太阳将会跟我一样慢慢下沉，并且在你成为新王的时候和你一同上升。

辛巴：这一切都是我的吗？

木法沙：所有的一切。

辛巴：阳光能照到的所有的东西！那有阴影的地方呢？

木法沙：那在我们的国度之外，你永远不可去那个地方，辛巴。

辛巴：我以为国王可以随心所欲呢。

木法沙：哦，国王也不能凡事随心所欲。

辛巴：不能吗？

木法沙：辛巴，世界上所有的生命都在微妙的平衡中生存。身为国王，你不但要了解那种平衡，还要尊重所有的生物，包括爬行的蚂蚁和跳跃的羚羊。

辛巴：但是爸爸，我们不是吃羚羊的吗？

木法沙：是啊，辛巴。我来解释一下：我们死后，尸体会变成草，而羚羊是吃草的。所以在这个庞大的生命圈里我们是互相关联的。辛巴，我告诉你一些我爸爸以前跟我说的话。你看那些星星，过去那些伟大的君王从那些星星上看着我们。

辛巴：真的？

木法沙：是啊。所以每当你寂寞的时候，要记得那些君王永远在那里指引着你，还有我。
