每天讀一點英文之那些給我智慧和勇氣的寓言故事(寓言篇)
76 the old woman and the physician 老婦和醫(yī)生
an old woman having lost the use of her eyes, called in a physician to heal them, and made this bargain with him in the presence of witnesses:
一個老婦雙目失明,她請來一個外科醫(yī)生為她治療,并且在 有人作證的情況下商定:
that if he should cure her blindness, he should receive from her a sum of money; but if her infirmity remained, she should give him nothing.
如果醫(yī)生能治愈她的雙眼,她就會給醫(yī) 生一大筆錢:如果沒有治愈,醫(yī)生將得不到任何酬勞.
this agreement being made, the physician, time after time, applied his salve to her eyes, and on every visit took something away, stealing all her property little by little. 簽訂了這份協(xié)議后,這個外科醫(yī)生一次又一次地給老婦涂眼藥膏,他每次 來都要帶走幾樣東西.漸漸地,他偷走了老婦所有的家當。
