昆虫之父法布尔

The Father of Insects  

There was a little boy who liked to observe everything around him. His family was so poor that he grew up in his grandparents’ home. His grandparents’ house had many animals for him to play with. What he loved best was to observe the insects and plants in the forest. While the boy watched insects such as butterflies, dung beetles, and grasshoppers, he began to develop a love for and interest in nature.

有一个小男孩喜欢观察他周围的一切。他的家庭很穷，他在祖父母家长大。他祖父母家有许多动物供他玩耍。他最喜欢的是观察森林里的昆虫和植物。当这个男孩看着蝴蝶、屎壳郎和蚱蜢等昆虫时，他开始对大自然产生了热爱和兴趣。

The boy grew into a man and became a teacher. He taught children and studied insects at the same time. He observed insects’ behavior and recorded his observations. So he learned new facts that existing entomologists didn’t know. Therefore, he wrote 10 books, calledEntomological Souvenirs, over 30 years.

这个男孩长成了一个男人，成了一名教师。他同时教孩子们和研究昆虫。他观察昆虫的行为并记录下他的观察结果。所以他学到了当时现有昆虫学家不知道的新事实。因此，他用超过30年的时间写了10本书，合称为《昆虫记》。

The boy who told us about the mysterious world of insects was Jean-Henri Fabre, the Father of Insects.

这个向我们讲述神秘的昆虫世界的男孩叫做让•亨利•法布尔，被称为“昆虫之父”。
