伊索寓言:狐貍和猴子爭論家世
The Fox and the Monkey
A FOX and a Monkey were traveling together on the same road. As they journeyed, they passed through a cemetery full of monuments. "All these monuments which you see," said the Monkey, "are erected in honor of my ancestors, who were in their day freedmen and citizens of great renown." The Fox replied, "You have chosen a most appropriate subject for your falsehoods, as I am sure none of your ancestors will be able to contradict you."
A false tale often betrays itself.
狐貍和猴子爭論家世
狐貍與猴子同行,一路互相爭吵他們誰的家世高貴。他們各自夸耀一番后,來到了一處墓地。猴子轉過頭去,放聲大哭。狐貍不知其原因,忙問他為甚么哭,猴子指著那些墓碑說:「我看到這些為我祖先所解放和奴役過的奴隸墓碑,怎能不傷心呢?」狐貍說:「你就使勁的吹牛騙人吧,他們之中沒有誰能站起來反駁你。」
這個故事帶出的啟示就是:在沒有人反駁時,說謊話的人尤為自吹自擂。
