伊索寓言:乌龟与鹰

阅读 :

  The Tortoise and the Birds

  A Tortoise desired to change its place of residence, so he asked an Eagle to carry him to his new home, promising her a rich reward for her trouble. The Eagle agreed and seizing the Tortoise by the shell with her talons soared aloft. On their way they met a Crow, who said to the Eagle: “Tortoise is good eating.” “The shell is too hard,” said the Eagle in reply. “The rocks will soon crack the shell,” was the Crow's answer; and the Eagle, taking the hint, let fall the Tortoise on a sharp rock, and the two birds made a hearty meal of the Tortoise.

  Never soar aloft on an enemy's pinions.

  乌龟与鹰

  乌龟看见鹰在空中飞翔,便请求鹰教他飞行。鹰劝告他,说他不能飞行。可乌龟再三恳求,鹰便抓住他,飞到高空,然后将他松开。乌龟落在石上,被摔得粉身碎骨。

  这个故事带出的启示就是:那些好高鹜远,不切实际的人必将失败。
