伊索寓言：The wolf and the sheep 狼和羊

The Wolf and the Sheep

A WOLF, sorely wounded and bitten by dogs, lay sick and maimed in his lair. Being in want of food, he called to a Sheep who was passing, and asked him to fetch some water from a stream flowing close beside him. "For," he said, "if you will bring me drink, I will find means to provide myself with meat." "Yes," said the Sheep, "if I should bring you the draught, you would doubtless make me provide the meat also."

Hypocritical speeches are easily seen through.

中文：

●狼被狗所咬，傷勢(shì)很嚴(yán)重，痛苦地躺在巢穴里，不能外出覓食。

　　●他感到又餓又渴，這時(shí)，他看見一只羊，便請(qǐng)求他到附近的小河里為他取一點(diǎn)水來。

　　●“你給我一點(diǎn)水解渴”，他說，“我就能自己去尋找食物了。”

　　●“是呀”，羊回答說，“如果我給你送水喝，那么我就會(huì)成為你的食物。”

　　寓意: 謊言是經(jīng)不起推敲的，它很容易被人們識(shí)破。
