Chinese short story 104 |烙饼师傅与懒太太The Pancake Maker and His Lazy Wife | HSK 3-4 | 听故事学中文 - 从前，有一位卖大饼的李师傅。 Once upon a time, there was a pancake maker named Master Li. 他每天都忙着做饼、卖饼，所以一直到年纪很大才娶妻。 He was busy making and selling pancakes every day, so he did not get married until he was quite old. 他的妻子叫兰花，长得很漂亮，但是非常懒惰，从小父母很宠她。 His wife, Lanhua, was very beautiful, but she was extremely lazy because her parents had spoiled her since childhood. 李师傅很爱兰花，舍不得让她做任何家务。 Master Li loved Lanhua very much and couldn't bear to let her do any housework. 兰花说：“我不想洗衣服。” 李师傅马上笑着回答：“没关系，我来洗，你别累着。” Lanhua said, "I don't want to wash the clothes." Master Li smiled and replied, "That's okay. I'll do it. Don't tire yourself." 兰花又说：“我也不想做饭。” 李师傅扶着她的手说：“没问题，我每天做美味的大饼给你吃。” Lanhua then said, "I don't want to cook either." Master Li held her hand and said, "No problem. I'll make delicious pancakes for you every day." 不管是洗衣、做饭、打扫，全都是李师傅一人包办。 Whether it was washing clothes, cooking, or cleaning, Master Li did everything by himself. 兰花每天躺在床上吃东西、睡觉，什么也不用做。 Every day, Lanhua lay in bed eating and sleeping without doing anything. 李师傅的母亲看不下去了，生气地说：“懒媳妇配上傻儿子，这个家迟早会出事！” Master Li's mother could no longer stand it and angrily said, "A lazy daughter-in-law and a foolish son will bring disaster to this family sooner or later!" 兰花的婆婆一气之下，搬到女儿家去住了。 In anger, Lanhua's mother-in-law moved to her daughter's house. 婆婆走后，兰花变得更懒了。 After her mother-in-law left, Lanhua became even lazier. “给我买鸡腿。”“我还想吃柿子。” 兰花变本加厉，天天使唤丈夫。 "Buy me a chicken leg." "I also want to eat persimmons." Lanhua became even more demanding and ordered her husband around every day. 兰花每天吃饱睡、睡饱吃，身材越来越胖，最后连坐起来都不愿意。 She spent every day eating and sleeping, became fatter and fatter, and eventually didn't even want to sit up. 后来，她开始装病。 Later, she even pretended to be sick. “哎哟，我脚酸。” 李师傅马上帮她捏脚。 "Oh, my feet are sore." Master Li immediately massaged her feet. “哎哟，我背痛。” 李师傅又赶快帮她捶背。 "Oh, my back hurts." Master Li quickly gave her a back massage. 到了吃饭的时候，兰花连碗都不想拿。李师傅说：“我喂你吃。” At mealtime, Lanhua didn't even want to hold her bowl. Master Li said, "I'll feed you." 有一天，李师傅得知妈妈病了，非常着急，可是又放心不下兰花。 One day, Master Li learned that his mother was ill. He was very worried, but he also couldn't stop worrying about Lanhua. 他轻声问：“兰花，你跟我一起去探望妈妈吧！” He gently asked, "Lanhua, would you come with me to visit my mother?" 兰花闭着眼睛回答：“我不去。” Lanhua answered with her eyes closed, "I'm not going." 李师傅想请邻居照顾兰花，可是大家都摇头拒绝。 Master Li wanted to ask the neighbors to take care of Lanhua, but everyone shook their heads and refused. 最后，李师傅想到一个办法。 Finally, Master Li came up with an idea. 那天晚上，他做了一个很大的圆饼，重二十斤，中间还有一个大洞。 That night, he made a huge round pancake weighing about twenty jin, with a large hole in the middle. 第二天，他把大饼套在兰花的脖子上。 The next day, he put the giant pancake around Lanhua's neck. 他说：“兰花，这张饼够你吃十天了。你饿了就咬一口，我很快就回来。” He said, "Lanhua, this pancake will last you ten days. Whenever you're hungry, just take a bite. I'll be back soon." 说完，他启程去看母亲。 After saying that, he set off to visit his mother. 十天后，李师傅赶回家，一进门就大喊：“兰花，我回来了！” Ten days later, Master Li hurried home and shouted, "Lanhua, I'm back!" 但是没有人回答李师傅。 But no one answered him. 他跑到床边，发现兰花已经死了。 He ran to the bedside and found that Lanhua had died. 原来，兰花吃完嘴巴前面的饼，却懒得伸手转动大饼，最后活活饿死了。 It turned out that after eating the part of the pancake in front of her mouth, she was too lazy to turn it with her hands, so she eventually starved to death. ________________________________________ 问题与答案（中英对照） 1. 问：李师傅为什么很晚才结婚？ Q: Why did Master Li get married so late? 答：因为他每天忙着做饼、卖饼。 A: Because he was busy making and selling pancakes every day. ________________________________________ 2. 问：兰花为什么那么懒？ Q: Why was Lanhua so lazy? 答：因为她从小被父母宠坏了。 A: Because she had been spoiled by her parents since childhood. ________________________________________ 3. 问：李师傅平时帮兰花做哪些事情？ Q: What kinds of things did Master Li do for Lanhua? 答：他帮她洗衣服、做饭、打扫，还照顾她。 A: He washed clothes, cooked, cleaned, and took care of her. ________________________________________ 4. 问：李师傅为什么做了一个二十斤的大饼？ Q: Why did Master Li make a huge twenty-jin pancake? 答：因为他要去看生病的妈妈，希望兰花有东西吃。 A: Because he had to visit his sick mother and wanted Lanhua to have enough food to eat. ________________________________________ 5. 问：兰花最后为什么饿死了？ Q: Why did Lanhua starve to death in the end? 答：因为她吃完前面的饼以后，懒得用手转动大饼。 A: Because after eating the part of the pancake in front of her, she was too lazy to turn the pancake with her hands.
