雙語·《伊索寓言》 石榴樹、蘋果樹和荊棘

THE POMEGRANATE, THE APPLE-TREE, AND THE BRAMBLE

A Pomegranate and an Apple-tree were disputing about the quality of their fruits, and each claimed that its own was the better of the two. High words passed between them, and a violent quarrel was imminent, when a Bramble impudently poked its head out of a neighbouring hedge and said, “There, that's enough, my friends; don't let us quarrel.”

石榴樹、蘋果樹和荊棘

有一棵石榴樹和一棵蘋果樹爭論他們誰的產(chǎn)量更高，他們都說自己更高產(chǎn)。他們你來我往，滔滔不絕，一場激烈的爭吵即將發(fā)生。這時一株荊棘從旁邊的樹叢中探出頭來，說：“唉唉，朋友們，夠了吧，咱們還是別吵了吧。”
