The Man And The Lion
人和狮子
by Aesop
出自《伊索寓言》
A Lion and a Man chanced to travel in company through the forest. They soon began to quarrel, for each of them boasted that he and his kind were far superior to the other both in strength and mind.
一只狮子和一个人碰巧结伴穿过森林。他们很快就吵了起来,因为他们每个人都吹嘘,说自己及其同类在体力和智力上都远远超过对方。
Now they reached a clearing in the forest and there stood a statue. It was a representation of Heracles in the act of tearing the jaws of the Nemean Lion.
现在他们来到森林的一片空地上,那里立着一座雕像。这是赫拉克勒斯手撕尼米亚猛狮的情景。
"See," said the man, "that's how strong we are! The King of Beasts is like wax in our hands!"
“看,”那人说,“我们多强壮啊!万兽之王在我们手中像蜡一样!”
"Ho!" laughed the Lion, "a Man made that statue. It would have been quite a different scene had a Lion made it!"
“嗬!”狮子笑着说,“那是一个人造的。如果是一头狮子,场面会大不相同!”
It all depends on the point of view, and who tells the story.
关键在于视角和讲故事的人。
