英语，阅读点什么？（12） 为什么蜜蜂要叫做bee呢？

---Story by V.Gilbert Berrs

Why is a bee called a bee ? Why isn't it called a cee ?

You can' t be a bee，but you could see a cee , so why don' t we call it a cee ?

Why is a bee called a bee ? Why isn' t it called a dee ?

Then we'd have bumble dees and honey dees .

How confusing to call a bee dee ！

Why is a bee called a bee ？Why isnt it called an eee ?

If a bee goes B-uzz , would an eee go E-uzz ?

Is that why it's not called an eee ?

Why is a bee called a bee? Why isn't it called a pea ?

If bees were called peas , would peas be called bees ?

Then Mother would say, "Eat your bees ."

Why is a bee called a bee ? Why isnt it called a zee ?

Would the honey we eat just put us to sleep if it came from honey bee zzzs ?

So why is a bee called a bee ?

Would you rather it be cee , dee ,or eee ?

If you really don't mind, I think you will find that it's better to let the bee be!

为什么蜜蜂要叫蜜蜂（bee） ？

? ---作者吉尔伯特·贝尔斯

为什么蜜蜂要叫蜜蜂bee？为什么不叫它cee？

你不能是蜜蜂bee，但你可以看到cee，

那我们为什么不叫它cee？

为什么蜜蜂要叫蜜蜂bee？为什么不叫它dee？

这样我们就有了大黄蜂dees和蜂蜜dees.

称蜜蜂bee为dee太令人困惑了!

为什么蜜蜂要叫蜜蜂bee? 为什么不叫eee？

如果一只蜜蜂飞起来会B-uzz响，

那么一只eee飞起来会E-uzz响吗？

这也是为什么它不能叫eee吗？

为什么蜜蜂要叫蜜蜂bee？为什么不叫豌豆pea？

如果蜜蜂被称叫做豌豆peas，

那豌豆peas就会叫做蜜蜂bees吗？

然后妈妈会说，“吃你的蜜蜂bees。”

为什么蜜蜂要叫蜜蜂bee？为什么不叫zee？

如果我们吃的蜂蜜来自蜜蜂的zzzs，它会让我们昏昏欲睡吗？

所以为什么蜜蜂要叫蜜蜂bee？

你宁愿叫它cee、dee还是eee吗？

如果你真的不介意，

我想你会发现, 最好还是叫它蜜蜂bee吧！
