Translation 1 Translate your transcript of the dictation into Chinese. Long long ago, a mosquito and an elephant lived together. The elephant and the mosquito were bosom friends. At that time, the elephant was not as big as it is now and the mosquito is also not so small. They looked all the same, just like twins. One day, after breakfast, the elephant and the mosquito had a conversation. The elephant said, “We should settle down somewhere as soon as possible. I think a place with forest and river is fine, because there are plenty of Translation Translation 2 plants in the forest as our food, adequate water for us to drink and take a bath in the river as well. How comfortable we will be!” The mosquito (scornfully, was convulsed with laugher) said, “I don’t live on food in the forest or water in the river. Eat such things, when can I get stronger?
