英語版小寓言故事1
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 mouth 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 mouth, 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(宣布放棄) your friendship, for I will have nothing to do with one who blows hot and cold with the same mouse."
英語版小寓言故事2
A man from the state of Chu was crossing a river. In the boat, his sword fell into the water by his carelessness.
Immediately he made a mark on the boat. "This is where my sword fell off", he said.
When the boat stopped, he jumped into the water to look for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat.
The boat had moved but the sword had not. Is this not a very foolish way to look for a sword?
英語版小寓言故事3
A man of the state of Chu had a spear and a shield for sale. He was praising his shield. "My shield is so strong that nothing can pierce it through."
He also sang praises of his spear. "My spear is so strong that it can pierce through anything."
What would happen, he was asked, if your spear is used to pierce your shield? He was unable to give an answer.
It is impossible for the strongest shield to coexist(共存) with a spear that finds nothing impenetrable.
