雙語·《伊索寓言》 人和獅子

THE MAN AND THE LION

A Man and a Lion were companions on a journey, and in the course of conversation they began to boast about their prowess, and each claimed to be superior to the other in strength and courage. They were still arguing with some heat when they came to a cross-road where there was a statue of a Man strangling a Lion. “There!” said the Man triumphantly, “l(fā)ook at that! Doesn't that prove to you that we are stronger than you?” “Not so fast, my friend,” said the Lion, “that is only your view of the case. If we Lions could make statues, you may be sure that in most of them you would see the Man underneath.”

There are two sides to every question.

人和獅子

有一個人和一只獅子結(jié)伴旅行，他們聊天的時候開始夸耀自己的英勇和技藝，都說自己的力量和勇氣遠(yuǎn)勝對方。他們激烈地爭執(zhí)著，同時來到一個十字路口，那里有一個人勒死獅子的雕像?！翱矗比撕茯湴恋卣f，“看看那個！不是證明我們比你們強大嗎？”“別那么快下結(jié)論，朋友，”獅子說，“這只是你們的觀點而已。如果讓我們獅子來做塑像的話，你肯定會看到人被壓在下面。”

訓(xùn)誡：凡事均有兩面。
