有时，费迪南德妈妈担心，他总是这么独自呆着，会觉得孤独。
'Why don't you run and play with the other little bulls and
“你可以和小伙伴们一起玩一起跳一起抵角呀。”他妈妈说。
But Ferdinand would shake his head. 'I like it better here where I can sit just quietly and smell the flowers.

All the other bulls ran around
公牛们不停地跑来跑去，跳上跳下，还摇晃着脑袋，鼻子里呼呼的喷气，像是在说：“看，我多么强壮，多么凶猛，选我吧！”
Ferdinand knew that they wouldn't pick him and he didn't care. So he went out to his favorite cork tree to sit down.
费迪南知道自己不会被选中，他一点都不在乎，又跑到心爱的栎树底下去了。
He didn't look where he was sitting and instead of sitting on the nice cool grass in the shade he sat on a
当他正要往下坐时，没想到他不是坐在树荫下那凉凉的草地上，而是坐到了一只大黄蜂身上。
Well, if you were a bumble bee and a bull sat on you, what would you do?
如果你是大黄蜂，有一头公牛坐在你身上，你会怎么办？
You would
当然是蛰他了！大黄蜂就是这么干的！
Wow! Did it hurt! Ferdinand jumped up with a snort.

He had a red cape and a
他披着红红的斗篷，手持一把利剑，准备给公牛最后一击。
Then came the bull, and you know who that was, don't you?
公牛出场了，你知道公牛是谁对吧？
-FERDINAND.
费德南！
They called him Ferdinand the
他们称费迪南为“凶猛之牛”，花镖手害怕他，长矛手害怕他，连斗牛士都吓呆了。
Ferdinand ran out to the middle of the ring and everyone shouted and clapped because they thought he was going to fight fiercely and butt and snort and stick his
费迪南跑到场中央，观众们开始鼓掌、尖叫。大家都以为他是头凶猛无比的牛，会疯狂的摇脑袋、喷气、拿脚刨地。
But not Ferdinand.
但是费迪南没有。
When he got to the middle of the ring he saw the flowers in all the lovely ladies' hair and he just sat down quietly and smelled.
费迪南看到了女士们头上那些漂亮的花，他静静的坐下来，闻着花香。
He wouldn't fight and be fierce no matter what they did.

He just sat and smelled.
只是安静地坐着
And the Banderilleros were mad and the Picadores were madder and the Matador was so mad he cried because he couldn't show off with his cape and sword.
花镖手生气了，长矛手更生气了，斗牛士气得发狂，没有牛可以斗，他怎么用斗篷和剑炫耀自己呢？
So they had to take Ferdinand home.
人们只好把费迪南送回家。
And for all I know he is sitting there still, under his favorite cork tree, smelling the flowers just quietly.
直到现在，费迪南依然坐在他心爱的栎树下，静静的闻着花香。他过得很幸福。
《爱花的牛》是一本红色的书，封面、封底都缀满了小花和蝴蝶，中间画着一头粗壮的牛。封面上，他正举着前蹄、夹住一枝小花，陶醉般地闻着；封底，他扭头站着，嘴里衔着一枝小花，那个表情、眼神，简直妩媚至极。这头牛，就是费迪南，一头生来就要去搏杀的西班牙斗牛，但他对人生有自己的想法。
