百喻經(jīng)之九五: 二鴿喻
§95 二鴿喻
(95) a dove
昔有雌雄二鴿共同一巢，秋果熟時(shí)，取果滿巢。于其后時(shí)，果干減少，唯半巢在。雄嗔雌曰：“取果勤苦，汝獨(dú)食之，唯有半在。”
once upon a time, there were two doves, male and female, which lived together in a nest. they filled their nest with fruit seed that grew up during the fall. later, the fruit dried and shrank to fill but half of the nest. the male was in a temper and said to the female, "we have been working hard together for the fruit. now you have eaten it alone. it's half of what it was.
雌鴿答言：“我不獨(dú)食，果自減少。”
the female replied, "i haven't eaten it alone. for the fruit has shrunk by itself."
雄鴿不信，嗔恚而言：“非汝獨(dú)食，何由減少？”即便以嘴啄雌鴿殺。
incredulous, the male angrily said, "if it has not been you alone who had eaten, how could it grow so much less now?" then he pecked the female to death.
