伊索寓言Lesson 38 The horse and the ass 馬和驢

　　The horse and the ass

　　A horse and an ass were traveling together. The horse was prancing along in its beautiful trappings, but the ass was carrying the heavy weight in its saddlebags.

　　I wish I were you, sighed the ass. You have nothing to do, and wear such a beautiful harness.

　　The next day there was a great battle. The horse was badly wounded in the final charge.

　　The ass passed and saw the dying horse. I was wrong, said the ass.Safety is much more important than beautiful clothes.

　　馬和驢

　　●馬和驢一起旅行，馬拉著輕便的車輕松地前行，而驢馱著很重的鞍囊走路。

　　●我多希望我是你，驢感嘆道，你什么也不用做，卻佩帶這么漂亮的馬具。

　　●后來爆發(fā)了一場戰(zhàn)爭，馬在最后的沖鋒中不幸身受重傷。

　　●驢從將要死去的馬身邊經(jīng)過。我錯了，驢說，安全比漂亮的衣服更重要。

　　寓意: 不要隨便羨慕別人，各人都有自己的生活，都有自己的幸福與不幸。
