The captain stood proudly on the high walls of Troy ( 特洛伊 ), looking at the empty beach where the Greek ships had once been. Morning sun shone on the sea, and a cool wind carried the taste of salt and success. "After ten long years, they've finally gone!" the captain said, raising his sword high. The Trojans below cheered and jumped, "We've won! The Greeks are gone!"
Just then, an old soldier named Helenus narrowed his eyes and pointed towards the beach. "Captain, look! They left something behind—a giant wooden horse!" The captain laughed, "Those foolish Greeks! They built it but couldn't even take it home!" He turned to his soldiers. "Bring it inside! Let it stand in our city as a symbol of our success!"
Some of the soldiers were not sure, "What if it's a trick? The Greeks are cunning." The captain shouted, "Shut up! After ten years of fighting, they've failed. This horse is our prize!" He asked the Trojans to pull the giant horse through the gates with ropes.
That night the Trojans held a big celebration. Torches lit up the square as people danced and sang around the wooden horse. "To the stupid Greeks!" a soldier sang and raised his cup. "They spent years building this horse, only to leave it behind! I haven't laughed like this since childhood!" the captain laughed and said.
As the party died down, the Trojans locked all the gates of the city and then all went to sleep. At midnight, the horse's belly suddenly opened, and a Greek soldier came out. Then armed Greek soldiers went out one by one. They moved quickly and quietly in the dark. Within minutes, the Greeks unlocked the gates, flooding the city.
Early in the morning, Troy was in big fire. The Greeks, who had failed for ten years, had won with a single trick. The captain's joy turned to fear as he finally got to : the horse was never a gift—it was a trap, and the "gift" had destroyed them.

船长骄傲地站在特洛伊的高墙上，望着希腊船只曾经停靠过的空旷海滩。清晨的阳光照耀着大海，凉爽的风带着盐味和胜利的气息。“经过漫长的十年，他们终于走了！”船长高举着剑说道。下面的特洛伊人欢呼雀跃：“我们赢了！希腊人走了！”
就在这时，一位名叫赫勒诺斯的老兵眯起眼睛，指向海滩。“船长，看！他们留下了一样东西——一匹巨大的木马！”船长笑道：“那些愚蠢的希腊人！他们造了它，却连把它带回家都做不到！”他转向士兵们：“把它带进来！让它矗立在我们的城市里，作为我们胜利的象征！”
一些士兵不太确定：“要是这是个诡计怎么办？希腊人很狡猾。”船长喊道：“住口！经过十年的战斗，他们失败了。这匹马是我们的战利品！”他让特洛伊人用绳子把巨大的木马拉进城门。
那天晚上，特洛伊人举行了一场盛大的庆祝活动。火炬照亮了广场，人们围着木马又唱又跳。“为愚蠢的希腊人干杯！”一名士兵边唱边举起酒杯。“他们花了好几年造这匹马，结果却把它留下了！我从小到大都没这么笑过！”船长笑着说。
当聚会渐渐散去，特洛伊人锁上了城市的所有城门，然后都去睡觉了。午夜时分，木马的腹部突然打开，一名希腊士兵走了出来。接着，武装的希腊士兵一个接一个地走了出来。他们在黑暗中迅速而安静地行动。几分钟内，希腊人打开了城门，涌入了城市。
清晨，特洛伊陷入了大火之中。失败了十年的希腊人，用一个计谋就赢得了胜利。船长的喜悦变成了恐惧，因为他终于明白：这匹马从来都不是一份礼物——它是一个陷阱，而这份“礼物”摧毁了他们。
1. 特洛伊人为什么把木马带进城里？
A. 因为希腊人要求他们保管好它。
B. 因为他们相信这是希腊人送的礼物。
C. 因为他们想烧掉它来庆祝胜利。
D. 因为他们认为这是他们胜利的战利品。
2. 希腊人在十年后最终是如何获胜的？
A. 用更强大的军队进攻城市。
B. 把士兵藏在木马里。
C. 与特洛伊人签订和平协议。
D. 等待特洛伊人放弃。
3. 特洛伊人在庆祝活动中做了什么？
A. 他们为另一场战争做准备。
B. 他们感谢希腊人离开。
C. 他们杀死了木马里的人。
D. 他们唱歌、跳舞，还拿希腊人开玩笑。
4. 这个故事给我们什么教训？
A. 永远不要相信你的敌人。
B. 大的东西并不总是昂贵的。
C. 战争应该持续十年。
D. 马在战争中很重要。
