The Mischievous Dog
淘气狗
by Aesop
出自《伊索寓言》
There was once a Dog who was so ill-natured and mischievous that his Master had to fasten a heavy wooden clog about his neck to keep him from annoying visitors and neighbors. But the Dog seemed to be very proud of the clog and dragged it about noisily as if he wished to attract everybody's attention. He was not able to impress anyone.
很久以前，有一只狗心眼儿又坏又淘气，以至于它的主人不得不用在它的脖子上系上一截厚重的木桩，以免惊扰到访客和邻居。但是这条狗却好像对拥有这截木桩很自豪，还拖着那木桩叮铃咣啷地跑来跑去，生怕没有人注意到它似的。没有人在意它。
"You would be wiser," said an old acquaintance, "to keep quietly out of sight with that clog. Do you want everybody to know what a disgraceful and ill-natured Dog you are?"
“你要是够聪明的话，”它的一个老朋友说道，“就应该安静下来，不要让人看到那截木桩。难不成你想让人人都知道你这条狗既讨人厌又脾气坏吗？
Notoriety is not fame.
寓意：莫把恶名当美名。
