　　英文經典寓言故事：貧富的差異

　　One day, an old beggar went to the village. He knocked at the door of a rich man to beg for food.

　　天，一個老乞丐來到一個村子裡。他敲開了一個富人家的門，想跟他討點兒吃的。

　　This was a big house and at the side was built a granary with a big padlock.

　　一這是一個大房子，旁邊有一個很大的糧倉，糧倉門上掛著一把大鐵鎖。

　　The owner of the house was a miser and he was known for never helping anyone.

　　可是，這戶人家的主人是個出了名的窖嗇鬼，他從來不肯幫助別人。

　　The beggar was aware of his reputation but still pleaded.”Will you give me a bit of butter or milk "'

　　乞丐也知道這個吝嗇鬼的狼藉名聲，但還是乞求他：¨您能不能給我一點黃油或牛奶?”

　　The miser said impatiently, "No! Go away at once" "Perhaps you can sweep out for me a bit of grain or beans."

　　吝嗇鬼不耐煩地說：¨不行快給我***!¨或許，您能給我掃出一把麥子或黃豆。¨

　　The hungry beggar continued. "There isn't anything in my house! " "How about a little bit of bread?"

　　飢餓的乞丐又說道。¨ 家裡什麼也沒有!n¨那就請您給我一小塊麵包吧?”

　　The beggar insisted. "Only a mouthful of food and I will be very grateful. " "Go away! I don’t have bread! " "How about some water? t am thirsty, "

　　乞丐堅持到，¨哪怕是給我一口飯吃，我都會對您感激不盡的。”“我沒有面包竹¨那給我一口水喝吧，我太渴了!”

　　'I don't have water.” The beggar then said sadly to him, My friend, why are you here? You should go to some kind-hearted folk to beg for food because you arc*** poorer than anybody eIse. "

　　“我沒有水!”然後，乞丐悲哀地對他說：¨我的朋友，那你還呆在這裡幹什麼?你應該去找一些善良的人們討些飯吃吧，因為你比誰都窮!”

　　英文經典寓言故事：禿鷲的視力

　　It was said that the eye of the vulture could see everything clearly as he gazed down from high above.

　　據說，禿鷲從高處向下俯視，一切都能清楚地盡收眼底。

　　A vulture once bragged to the crow, "No one's eyesight can be better than mine."

　　一次，禿鷲對烏鴉吹噓：“誰的視力也不如我的好。”

　　"You're just boasting about your eyesight without any evidence," said the crow. "If it were so, then tell me what you can see in the wilderness."

　　烏鴉說："空口無憑，既然你誇耀自己的眼力，那請說說在曠野上你看到了什麼東西? "

　　The vulture answered, "Don't mock me when I say this, that there is a wheat grain in the wasteland of the wilderness?"

　　禿鷲答：¨我若說出來你可別笑我，有一顆麥粒掉落在曠野的 土地上。"

　　The crow was skeptical over what the vulture said, so both of them flew down towards that place to have a look.

　　烏鴉聽了心中置疑。於是它們一同往下飛去看個究竟。

　　As the vulture's position was just above the grain* a net was cast from above and he was trapped.

　　當禿鷲飛到那顆麥粒上方時，忽然背後有一張大網撒了下來，它被罩住了。

　　It never occurred to the vulture that he could be trapped as he prepared to peck at the grain.

　　禿鷲萬萬沒想到就在它啄那顆麥粒的時候，卻被罩住了。

　　The crow sighed and said, "Oh vulture, what is the use if you can see the small grain but could not see the trap set up by the enemy?"

　　烏鴉嘆息道：“禿鷲啊，你看到麥粒有何用7你卻看不到敵人 設定的陷阱。"

　　Trapped in the net, the vulture was resigned to his fate. He said, "One cannot escape losing his life in a vast and boundless ocean* no matter how good a swimmer he is.

　　而那落人獵入網中的禿鷲感嘆著它的命運。它說：“在一片浩瀚無際的大海里，再高明的游泳者也在劫難逃"
