The Fox And The Lion
狐狸和狮子
by Aesop
出自《伊索寓言》
A very young Fox, who had never before seen a Lion, happened to meet one in the forest. A single look was enough to send the Fox off at top speed for the nearest hiding place.
有一只从未见过狮子的小狐狸,某一天在森林里碰巧撞见了一头狮子。仅仅是看了一眼,就吓得这狐狸立马以最快的速度跑到最近的藏身之地。
The second time the Fox saw the Lion he stopped behind a tree to look at him a moment before slinking away. But the third time, the Fox went boldly up to the Lion and, without turning a hair, said, "Hello, there, old top."
这只狐狸第二次看见那头狮子的时候,他在溜之大吉之前,还躲在一棵树后面观察了一会儿狮子。但是第三次的时候,这只狐狸竟然勇敢地走到那头狮子面前,毫无畏惧地说:你好啊!老朋友!“
Familiarity breeds contempt.
网译:亲不尊,熟生蔑。(直译:熟悉会滋生轻视。)
Acquaintance with evil blinds us to its dangers.
也有人说:与恶魔结交会令人看不清危险。
