Aesop's fable

伊索寓言

​Lesson 19

橡树与芦苇

The oak and the reed

一天夜裡,一场可怕的风暴刮过森林。许多树被吹倒了,到处是树枝。一棵长在河边的橡树被刮倒在水裡,顺流而下。

 

  橡树在河中漂流的时候,發现两岸依然长满芦苇,觉得很奇怪。

 

  “你们是怎么设法活下来的?”橡树问道,“你们看上去那么纤细而脆弱,而我,一棵大树,却快要死了。”

【橡树与芦苇的寓意】

橡树与芦苇这篇伊索寓言故事说明了,有时候不要硬和比自己强大的人去抗争。凡事要能忍则忍,这样或许对自己更为有利。

An Oak that grew on the bank of a river was uprooted by a severe gale of wind and thrown across the stream. It fell among some Reeds growing by the water, and said to them.“How is it that you? who are so frail and slender, have managed to weather the storm. whereas I.with all my strength,have been torn up by the roots and hurled into the river?” You were stubborn,” came the reply, “and fought against the storm,which proved stronger than you:but we bow and yield to every breeze,and thus the gale passed harmlessly over our heads.”
