伊索寓言:行人与梧桐树

阅读 :

  The Travelers and the Plane-Tree

  TWO TRAVELERS, worn out by the heat of the summer's sun, laid themselves down at noon under the widespreading branches of a Plane-Tree. As they rested under its shade, one of the Travelers said to the other, “What a singularly useless tree is the Plane! It bears no fruit, and is not of the least service to man.” The Plane-Tree, interrupting him, said, “You ungrateful fellows! Do you, while receiving benefits from me and resting under my shade, dare to describe me as useless, and unprofitable?'

  Some men underrate their best blessings.

  行人与梧桐树

  夏季中午时候,十分炎热,头顶烈日的几个行人疲倦极了,看见一棵梧桐树,便走到树底下,躺在树荫下休息。他们仰望着阔大的树叶,彼此大发议论:「这树不能结果,对人没有甚么好处。」树回答说:「不知好歹的人们!你们现在正享受着我的恩惠,还说我是不结果的无用之树。」

  这个故事带出的启示就是:有些人不知好歹,享受了别人的帮助,还要贬低别人。
