伊索寓言：行人与浮木
The Seaside Travelers
SOME TRAVELERS, journeying along the seashore, climbed to the summit of a tall cliff, and looking over the sea, saw in the distance what they thought was a large ship. They waited in the hope of seeing it enter the harbor, but as the object on which they looked was driven nearer to shore by the wind, they found that it could at the most be a small boat, and not a ship. When however it reached the beach, they discovered that it was only a large faggot of sticks, and one of them said to his companions, "We have waited for no purpose, for after all there is nothing to see but a load of wood."
Our mere anticipations of life outrun its realities.
行人与浮木
几个行人一同沿着海边走，来到一处高地，看见大海的远处漂浮的木头，心想一定是一艘大海船。於是，他们等着它靠岸，想要搭乘这一艘船。当迎面而来的风把浮木吹到离岸边较近时，他们认为这不是艘大船，可能是一条小船，仍满怀希望地在那里等待。一个大浪把那木头送到岸上，他们才发现原来是一根木头，互相说道：「这无聊的东西使我们白等了一场！」
这个故事带出的启示就是：有些人对不完全 解的东西，抱有很大的希望，但一经 解，却大失所望。
