The Crow And The Sheep
乌鸦和羊
A troublesome Crow seated herself on the back of a Sheep.
一只讨厌的乌鸦,站在一只羊背上。
The Sheep, much against his will, carried her backward and forward for a long time, and at last said, "If you had treated a dog in this way, you would have had your deserts from his sharp teeth."
那只羊,非常不情愿地载着它前前后后走了许多的地方,最后说道:“如果你用这样的法子去对待一只狗,你早晚会从他锐利的牙齿中得到应得的报应了。”
To this the Crow replied, "I despise the weak, and yield to the strong. I know whom I may bully, and whom I must flatter; and I thus prolong my life to a good old age."
听了这些话,乌鸦回答说:“我是轻视弱者,服从强者的。 我知道谁可以侮谩,谁应该奉承;我也因此延长我的生命以至永享天年。”
