《三個懶漢》 是格林童話故事之一，由德國格林兄弟搜集編撰，歡迎大家閱讀育學習小編整理下面的中英文版本，希望大家喜歡。

　　在一個遙遠的地方，有一個國王，他有三個兒子，對每一個兒子他都非常喜愛，他不知道自己死后應該把王位傳給他們三個中的哪一個。所以，當他快要死的時候，就把他們叫到身邊說："親愛的孩子們，在我死后，你們三個中誰最懶，誰就繼承我的王位。"老大說："既然這樣，這王位就是我的，因為我是最懶的兒子，當我躺下睡覺時，有任何東西落到我的眼睛里，我也懶得去擦掉，即使不能把眼睛閉上，我仍然會繼續(xù)睡覺。"二兒子說："爸爸，王位應該傳給我，因為我是最懶的兒子。當我坐在火邊取暖的時候，就是火燃到我的腳趾，我也懶得把腿收回來。"第三個兒子說："爸爸，這王位是我的，因為我是你最懶的兒子，如果我就要被吊起來，繩子已經(jīng)套在了脖子上，有人把一把鋒利的小刀塞在我手里，要我切斷繩子，我寧愿被吊起來也懶得抬起手把繩子割斷。"父親聽到這里說道："你是最合適的人選，你應該繼承王位。"

　　The three sluggards

　　A certain King had three sons who were all equally dear to him, and he did not know which of them to appoint as his successor after his own death. When the time came when he was about to die, he summoned them to his bedside and said, "Dear children, I have been thinking of something which I will declare unto you; whichsoever of you is the laziest shall have the kingdom." The eldest said, "Then, father, the kingdom is mine, for I am so idle that if I lie down to rest, and a drop falls in my eye, I will not open it that I may sleep." The second said; "Father, the kingdom belongs to me, for I am so idle that when I am sitting by the fire warming myself, I would rather let my heel be burnt off than draw back my leg." The third said, "Father, the kingdom is mine, for I am so idle that if I were going to be hanged, and had the rope already round my neck, and any one put a sharp knife into my hand with which I might cut the rope, I would rather let myself be hanged than raise my hand to the rope." When the father heard that, he said, "Thou hast carried it the farthest, and shalt be King."
