The Ass In The Lions Skin
身披狮皮的驴
by Aesop
选自《伊索寓言》
An Ass found a Lion's skin left in the forest by a hunter.
一头驴，捡到了一副某个猎人落下的狮子皮。
He dressed himself in it, and amused himself by hiding in a thicket and rushing out suddenly at the animals who passed that way.
它把狮子皮穿在自己身上，藏在灌木丛中，在动物们经过此处的时候，它突然冲出来扑向它们，这让驴子感到很好玩。
All took to their heels the moment they saw him.
所有的动物一看到它拔腿就跑。
The Ass was so pleased to see the animals running away from him, just as if he were King Lion himself, that he could not keep from expressing his delight by a loud, harsh bray.
驴子看到动物们如此惧怕它而逃之夭夭的样子，让它舒服极了，就好像他自己就是狮王本尊了，这让它禁不住发出了一声响亮刺耳的驴叫。
A Fox, who ran with the rest, stopped short as soon as he heard the voice.
和其他动物逃命的狐狸，一听到这叫声就停了下来。
Approaching the Ass, he said with a laugh:
它走向驴子，嘲笑道：
"If you had kept your mouth shut you might have frightened me, too.
But you gave yourself away with that silly bray."
“如果你能闭上你的臭嘴，那可还真把我也吓着了。但是呢，你那愚蠢的驴叫声，完完全全把自己给暴露咯。”
A fool may deceive by his dress and appearance, but his words will soon show what he really is.
正所谓：金玉其外，败絮其中。
