Monkey-See, Monkey-Do （有样学样）
A story from India.（一个来自印度的故事） 

Once upon a time, there was a man who sold hats. Once upon a time, there was a man who sold hats and he was pushing his cart along a road through the jungle. 
（从前，有个卖帽子的人。从前，有个卖帽子的人，他推着推车走在森林间的小路上。)

And what was in his cart? Hats, of course! There were top hats, mob caps, bobble hats, flat caps, billy-cocks and bonnets, balaclava and bowler hats, all carefully packed together and ready for market. 
（推车里装了什么？当然啦，是帽子！有大礼帽、松紧帽、顶上带着毛毛球的毛线帽、扁扁的水手帽、圆圆的毛毡帽和系带子的儿童帽、巴拉克拉法帽和圆顶的硬礼帽，所有的帽子都堆在一起，准备被卖掉。）

But there was a hole in the road. One of the wheels of the cart got caught and the cart tipped over. It tipped right over. And all the hats spilled this way and that way onto the road. 
（但是，路上有一个洞。推车的一个轮子陷进了洞里，推车翻倒了。推车正好就翻倒了。东一个西一个，所有的帽子都掉落在路上。）

Now, in the trees of that jungle, there lived hundreds of monkeys. And when they saw all those hats lying in the road, they came laughing and chattering and swinging down from the branches. 
（这时，在那片森林的大树上，正生活着千百只猴子。当看到掉在地上的帽子时，它们哈哈笑、吱吱叫、荡着树枝来回跳。）

Each one of them grabbed a hat and put it on his head. 
(每一只猴子都抓起一个帽子，扣在头上。)

Before the man could shout "stop!" all his hats had been taken. Only one left was the hat he was wearing on his own head.
(卖帽子的人还没能喊出"住手"两个字，他所有的帽子都已经被抢走了。唯一剩下的，就是他自己头上那顶帽子。)

He looked up into the trees. On every branch there was a monkey with a hat. 
（他抬头看向那些树，每一个树枝上都有一只戴帽子的猴子。）

There were monkeys with top hats, monkeys with mob caps, monkeys with bobble hats, monkeys with flat caps, monkeys with billy-cocks and bonnets, balaclava and bowlers. 
（有戴大礼帽的猴、戴松紧帽的猴、戴绒球帽的猴、戴水手帽的猴、戴圆毡帽和儿童帽的猴、带巴拉克拉法帽和圆礼帽猴。）
They were all looking down at him. 
（它们都低头看着他。）

The man was cross! He put his hands to his mouth and shouted up at them,"Give me back my hats!"
（卖帽子的人生气了。他把两只手罩在嘴边，向上朝着它们喊：“把我的帽子还给我！”）

 But what a monkey sees, a monkey does. They all put their hands to their mouths and shouted back at him.
（但小猴有样学样。它们全都把手罩在嘴边，朝着他叫。）

The man was angry! He picked up a stick and waved it at them. "Give me back my hats or there'll be trouble!" 
(卖帽子的人愤怒了！他捡起一根木棍，朝着猴子们挥舞："把我的帽子还给我，不然你们就有麻烦了！")

But what a monkey sees, a monkey does. They all broke sticks from the branches and waved them back at it. 
（但小猴有样学样。它们全都折了一根树棍，朝着他挥舞。）

That man was furious. He stamped on the ground with his feet. "Give me back my hats or there'll be  double-trouble."
(卖帽子的人火冒三丈！他双脚跺地："把我的帽子还给我，不然你们就有大大的麻烦了！")

But what a monkey sees, a monkey does. They all stamped their feet and bellowed back at him. 
（但小猴有样学样。它们全都跺着脚，朝着他吼。）

The man was sad. He buried his face in his hands and began to cry. "Oh, my precious hats! How will I ever get you back? "
（卖帽子的人伤心了。他双手捂着脸，哭了起来。"哦，我心爱的帽子啊，我到底要怎么样才能把你们拿回来？"）

But what a monkey sees, a monkey does! They all buried their faces in their hands and sobbed back at him. 
（但小猴有样学样。它们双手捂脸，对着他哭起来。）

The man looked up at the monkeys. The monkeys look down at the man. 
（卖帽子的人抬头看着猴子，猴子低头看着卖帽子的人。）

Suddenly, the man pulled the hat from his head and hurled it down onto the ground. "Well, that's enough of that! No more selling hats for me! I'll have to find myself another job!"
（突然，卖帽子的人扯掉自己头上的帽子，狠狠地摔在地上。“好吧，我受够了！我不卖帽子了！我要去找一个其他的活来做！”）

 He lifted the wheel out of its hole and pushed his empty cart away along the road. 
（他把车轮子抬出那个洞，推着他空荡荡的推车沿着来时的路走了。）

But what a monkey sees, a monkey does. They all pulled their hats from their heads, hurled them down onto the ground, and scampered away into the shadows of the jungle.
（但小猴有样学样。它们全都扯掉头上的帽子、狠狠地摔在地上，然后蹦蹦跳跳消失在森林的树影间。）

And when the man looked over his shoulder, what did he see? Hats, of course, lying in the road, top hats, mob cats, bobble hats, flat caps, billy-cocks and bonnets, balaclava and bowler hats. 
（所以当卖帽子的人悄悄回头看时，他看见了什么？当然啦，是帽子，全都在路上，有大礼帽、松紧帽、绒球帽、水手帽、圆毡帽和儿童帽、巴拉克拉法帽和圆礼帽。）

He ran back and loaded them carefully into his cart. Then he put his own hat onto his own head and pushed his cart along the road towards the market. 
（他跑回去，把帽子小心翼翼地堆进推车里。然后他把自己的帽子戴回自己头上，推着推车，沿着小路去市场啦。）

And that was the end of that story.
（那就是那个故事的结局。）
