请带着这个问题来听故事：

• 秃鹫最后喝水了吗？怎么喝的？

The Crow And The Pitcher

秃鹫和水罐

A thirsty

crow

found a

pitcher

with some water in it, but so little was there that, try as she might, she could not reach it with her beak, and it seemed

as though

she would die of thirst

within sight of

the remedy. At last she

hit upon a

clever

plan

. She began dropping pebbles into the pitcher, and with each pebble the water rose a little higher until at last it reached the brim, and the knowing bird

was enabled to

quench her thirst.

Necessity

is the mother of

invention

.

一只乌鸦渴了，找到了一个装满水的水箱，但是水箱里的水很少。他试了很久，嘴里总是够不到水。唉，虽然水就在眼前，但他可能会渴死。最后，它闪了一下，想出了一个主意。它捡起碎石，扔进水箱。每次扔进一块石头，水面都会稍微上升。最后，秃鹫的嘴终于遇到了水面。这只聪明的秃鹫解渴了。

要成为发明之母。

在这个故事中，我们将学习真实的表达方式：

1/ the crow and the pitcher 秃鹫和水罐

Crow 表示秃鹫。Pitcher指的是水箱、茶壶，我们经常使用a。 pitcher of water 来表示一壶水。

2/ as though 好像，仿佛

As though 和 as if 表示似乎，一般跟在感官词后面，比如feel， seem。所以看上去就像是。。 seems as though...

3/ within the sight of...在视线范围内

Sight表示视线，视野，within表示。。以内，那么在视线范围内就是within。 the sight of...

4/ hit upon a plan 不小心想出了一个计划

Hit upon表示偶然遇见，偶然发现，然后偶然想到一个策略就是hit。 upon a plan。

5/ be enabled to...可以

Enable说可以，如果你能做某事，你应该把它添加到be上。 enabled to 比如后面，可以止渴be。 enabled to quench the thirst.

6/ necessity 必需品、重要性、需求、需求、

Necessity 这是一个名词形式，它的形容词形式是necessary，必要的，必要的。

7/ invention 发明，创造

这个词的动词形式是invent，它发明了什么可以添加到这个词的后面，例如，创造了一种新的方法，invent a new way.

理解了这些单词的含义，让我们再听一遍这个寓言。
