The Fox and the Grapes 《狐狸和葡萄》
Once upon a time, there was a fox who loved to eat. One day, he was strolling through the woods searching for food. He found a grape orchard filled with beautiful, ripe grapes hanging from high branches. The fox felt very hungry and was eager to eat the delicious grapes. 从前,有一只喜欢吃东西的狐狸。 一天,它在树林里散步,寻找食物。 它发现了一片葡萄园,里面挂满了美丽、成熟的葡萄,高高地悬在树枝上。 狐狸感到非常饥饿,急切地想吃这些美味的葡萄。
Excitedly, he leaped high into the air, hoping to catch the grapes. But the grapes hung higher than the fox could reach. He tried again and again, but just couldn't get high enough to grab the grapes. Feeling exhausted and disappointed, the fox finally gave up and walked away slowly. As he walked away, he muttered to himself, "I am sure those grapes were probably sour." 它兴奋地跳到空中,想要抓住葡萄。 但葡萄挂得比狐狸能到的地方还要高。 它一次又一次地尝试,但就是跳得不够高,抓不到葡萄。 感到筋疲力尽和失望,狐狸最终放弃了,慢慢地走开了。 当它走开时,它自言自语道:“我确信那些葡萄可能是酸的。”
Moral of the story: It is easy to scorn what we cannot get. Instead, we should learn to accept our limitations and move on with grace. 故事的寓意:贬低得不到的东西很容易, 但我们应该学会接受自己的局限,并优雅地继续前行。
