雙語·《伊索寓言》 屋頂上的小羊

THE KID ON THE HOUSETOP

A Kid climbed up on to the roof of an outhouse, attracted by the grass and other things that grew in the thatch; and as he stood there browsing away, he caught sight of a Wolf passing below, and jeered at him because he couldn't reach him. The Wolf only looked up and said, “I hear you, my young friend; but it is not you who mock me, but the roof on which you are standing.”

屋頂上的小羊

有一只小羊被一棟房子的茅草屋頂上生長的草和其他東西吸引，爬到了屋頂上。他站在屋頂上吃草的時候看到下面有一只狼經過，他將狼奚落了一番，因為狼沒有辦法上屋頂抓他。狼只是抬頭向上看著他，說：“你說的我都聽到了，小朋友，不過能讓我受挫的可不是你，而是你所站立的屋頂?！?/p>
