伊索寓言：馬和驢
The Horse and the Ass
A HORSE, proud of his fine trappings, met an Ass on the highway. The Ass, being heavily laden, moved slowly out of the way. "Hardly," said the Horse, "can I resist kicking you with my heels." The Ass held his peace, and made only a silent appeal to the justice of the gods. Not long afterwards the Horse, having become broken-winded, was sent by his owner to the farm. The Ass, seeing him drawing a dungcart, thus derided him: "Where, O boaster, are now all thy gay trappings, thou who are thyself reduced to the condition you so lately treated with contempt?'
馬和驢
一匹馬在路上炫耀他的精美的馬飾，忽然遇到了一頭滿馱著貨物的驢子。驢子因貨物太重，只能慢慢地讓開路。馬傲慢地說(shuō)：「我恨不得要用腳踢你。」驢子絲毫不予計(jì)較，只是默默地祈求神保佑。不久，那匹馬患了氣喘病，被主人送回農(nóng)莊來(lái)。驢子看見拖著糞車的馬，便譏笑他說(shuō)：「驕橫的東西，你那華麗的馬飾現(xiàn)在到哪里去了？你怎么變成這樣一副倒霉相？」
這故事是說(shuō)人們不能因一時(shí)榮華富貴而不可一世。
