The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子
A PIGEON,oppressed by excessive thirst,saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard.Not supposing it to be only a picture,she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard,jarring herself terribly.Having broken her wings by the blow,she fell to the ground,and was caught by one of the bystanders.
Zeal should not outrun discretion.
有只鸽子口渴得很难受,看见画板上画着一个水瓶,以为是真的.他立刻呼呼地猛飞过 去,不料一头碰撞在画板上,折断了翅膀,摔在地上,被人轻易地捉住了.
这是说,有些人想急于得到所需的东西,一时冲动,草率从事,就会身遭不幸.
The Raven and the Swan乌鸦和天鹅
A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage.Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam,the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living,and took up residence in the lakes and pools.But cleansing his feathers as often as he would,he could not change their color,while through want of food he perished.
Change of habit cannot alter Nature.
乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛.他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡,羽毛才变得如此洁白无 瑕.于是,他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛,来到江湖边.他天天洗刷自己的羽毛,不但一 点都没洗白,反而因缺少食物饥饿而死.
这故事是说,人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变.
The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊与牧羊人
A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock.He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons.At last the Goatherd threw a stone,and breaking its horn,begged the Goat not to tell his master.The Goat replied,"Why,you silly fellow,the horn will speak though I be silent."
Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.
很多山羊被牧羊人赶到羊圈里.有一只山羊不知在吃什么好东西,单独落在后面.牧羊 人拿起一块石头扔了过去,正巧打断了山羊的一只角.牧羊人吓得请求山羊不要告诉主人,山羊说：“即使我不说,又怎能隐瞒下去呢?我的角已断了,这是十分明显的事实.”
这故事说明,明显的罪状是无法隐瞒的.
