　伊索寓言故事：人与赛特

A Man and a Satyr having struck up an acquaintance, sat down together to eat. The day being wintry and cold, the Man put his fingers to his mouse and blew opon them. "What's that for, my friend?" asked the Satyr. " My hands are so cold," said the Man, "I do it to warm them." In a little while some hot food was placed before them, and the Man, raising the dish to his mouse, again blew opon it. "And what's the meaning of that, now?" said the Satyr. "Oh," replied the Man, "my porridge is so hot, I do it to cool it." "Nay, then," said the Satyr, "from this moment I renounce your friendship, for I will have nothing to do with one who blows hot and cold with the same mouse."

一个人与赛特偶然相识，坐在一起吃东西。正值冬季，天气很冷，那人把手放在嘴边哈气。赛特问道“我的朋友，那是干吗?”这人说“我的手太冷了，这是为了取暖”。过了一会儿，热腾腾的食物端上来了，那人把碟子举到嘴边又吹了起来，赛特问“这又是干吗?”，那人说“哦，我的粥太烫了，我把他吹凉些”。赛特说“从现在起，我要与你绝交，因为我不想和一个反复无常的人做朋友”。

Once upon a time there was a miser. He hid his gold under a tree. Every week he used to dig it up.

从前，有个守财奴将他的金块埋到一棵树下，每周他都去把他挖出来看看。

One night a robber stole all the gold. When the miser came again, he found nothing but an empty hole.

He was surprised, and then burst into the neighbors gathered around him.

He told them how he used to come and visit his gold.

他告诉他们这里原来有他的金块。

"Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them. "No," he said, "I only came to look at it." "Then come again and look at the hole," said the neighbor, "it will be the same as looking at the gold."

问明了原因后，一个邻居问：“你使用过这些金块吗?” “没用过，” 他说，“我只是时常来看看。”“那么，以后再来看这个洞，”邻居说，“就像以前有金块时一样。”

　伊索寓言故事：鹰和箭

An eagle was flying in the sky. As soon as it saw a rabbit, it swooped down on its prey.

鹰在天空中飞翔，当他看见一只野兔时，就俯冲下来捕捉猎物。

Suddenly it was hit by an arrow.

突然，有人一箭射中了它

It fluttered slowly down to the earth, and blood was pouring from the wound.

When the eagle looked down, he found that the shaft of the arrow was feathered with one of its own plumes.“Alas!”it cried.“We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.”

伊索寓言故事：小偷和他的母亲

A young man was caught stealing, and sentenced to death three days later.

一个小偷被抓住了，被判处死刑，三天后执行。

He wanted to speak with his mother before the execution. Of course this was granted.

他想在行刑前与他的母亲话别，得到了允许。

When his mother came to him, he said, "I want to tell you something." He said something but she could not hear. He whispered again, and when she came close to him, she put her ear to his mouth. He nearly bit off her ear. All the bystanders were horrified.

当他妈妈来到他的面前，他说：“告诉你一件事。”他轻轻说了一遍，但是她听不到;等她走近些，小偷又轻声说了一遍。母亲将耳朵贴近时，儿子突然咬住母亲的耳朵，差点撕下来，周围的人都惊呆了。

"It is to punish her," he said. "When I was young I began stealing little things, and brought them home to mother. "Instead of punishing me, she laughed and said, ‘It will not be noticed.‘ It is because of her that I am here today."

“这是对她的惩罚，”小偷说，“我小时候小偷小摸，把偷的东西带回家时，她不但不惩罚我，反而笑着说‘别让人看见。’就是因为她我才落个今天这样的下场。”
