　　蚊子和狮子
　　The Mosquito and the Lion
　　  A mosquito went up to a lion and said, “Everyone says you are the strongest animal in the world.”
　　  “That’s right,” said the lion. “I am big and strong, and I have sharp teeth.”
　　  “Well, I’m not afraid of you,” said the mosquito. “I am going to fight you, and I am going to win!”
　　  “You could never win,” laughed the lion. “I am a thousand times stronger than you.”
　　  “Here I come!” cried the mosquito, and he flew toward the lion’s face.
　　The mosquito landed on the lion's nose and bit him again and again. The lion tried to sink his teeth into the mosquito, but the mosquito was too small.
　　"I give up!" said the lion. "Please don't bite me anymore."
　　"I won!" shouted the mosquito as he flew away. But he didn't look where he was going and he became trapped in a spider's web.
　　"How strange," thought the mosquito. "I defeated a lion, but a tiny spider can defeat me."

　　Language Notes
　　A thousand times stronger than  比…强壮一百倍
　　解析
　　要说『A比B更…』时，我们常用这样的句型：
　　A +be动词+比较级+than +B
　　*He is stronger than you.
　　他比你强壮。
　　如果要讲到A比B强几倍的时候呢，我们可以在比较级前面加入『数字+times』，表示『….倍』。
　　A +be动词+数字+times+比较级+than +B
　　*He is a thousand times stronger than you.
　　他比你强壮一千倍。
　　小叮咛：
　　记得如果是超过两个音节的形容词，改成比较级的时候要加more喔！
　　*Helen is ten times more beautiful than you.
　　海伦比你美十倍。
