The Man and the Lion 人與同行的獅子
閱讀 : 次
A MAN and a Lion traveled together through the forest. They soon
began to boast of their respective superiority to each other in
strength and prowess. As they were disputing, they passed a
statue carved in stone, which represented "a Lion strangled by a
Man." The traveler pointed to it and said: "See there! How strong
we are, and how we prevail over even the king of beasts." The
Lion replied: "This statue was made by one of you men. If we
Lions knew how to erect statues, you would see the Man placed
under the paw of the Lion."
One story is good, till another is told.
有一天，獅子與人同行趕路，他們互相吹噓自己。在路上，他們
看見一塊石碑，石碑上 刻著一個人征服幾頭獅子的圖畫。那人一邊指給獅子看，一邊說：“你看，事實證明我們比 你們強得多了吧。”獅子笑著說道：“如果獅子們會雕刻，那么你就會看見眾多人倒在獅子 腳下。”
這故事是說，那些自己毫無本事的人卻喜歡常常在別人面前炫耀自己。
