狐假虎威(A Tiger in Tow)
狐假虎威(A Tiger in Tow)
A tiger was looking for food in a large forest when a fox ran by. The tiger sprang forward and caught it.
The fox was frightened, but it had an idea in a blink. "You dare not eat me." it said.
"Why?" the tiger asked.
"I was sent by God to rule all the animals. If you eat me, you're disobeying the God's order. Then you're not a good animal."
The tiger was silent, thinking whether it was true that the fox had been sent the god. Seeing the tiger still in doubt, the fox said seriously, " If you don't think what I said is not true, I can take you to see all the animals. I'll walk in front and you follow me. Let's see if all of them are afraid of me."
So the fox led the tiger into the forest. It was true that all the animals, such as deer, sheep, rabbits and so on, ran away as soon as they saw them.
Thus the fox borrowed the tiger's terror and showed its authority before the animals. But tiger did not know that all the animals ran away only because they were afraid of itself.
The story tells us that there is always someone who tries to swagger about in borrowed plumes.
狐假虎威
在茂密的大森林里，有一只老虎正在尋找食物。突然，一只狐貍從它身邊竄過，老虎猛撲過去，把它抓住了。
狡猾的狐貍心里十分害怕，可是它眼珠一轉，想出了個花招，就故作鎮靜地對老虎說："你不敢吃我！"
"為什么？"老虎問。
"我是天帝派來管理百獸的。吃了我，就是違抗天帝的命令，就是大逆不道！"
老虎聽了不禁愣住了，心想：狐貍奉天帝之命，來管理百獸，是真的嗎？正當老虎半信半疑的時候，狐貍煞有介事地說："如果你不相信我的話，我可以帶著你到百獸面前走一趟。我在前面走，你跟在后面，看它們是不是怕我。"
于是，狐貍和老虎一前一后朝森林中走去。森林里各種各樣、大大小小的野獸，比如小鹿啦，羚羊啦，兔子啦，看見狐貍身后的老虎，都嚇得四處逃跑。
就這樣，狐貍借著老虎在百獸面前威風了一次。可是老虎還不知道上了狐貍的當，不知道是自己嚇跑了百獸，還以為它們真的是害怕狐貍呢！
這個故事是說：有些人憑借別人的權勢到處招搖撞騙，欺壓弱小。
