Translation of the Four Fables of Aesop, Classical Chinese Translation of the Four Fables of Aesop?

1. When a donkey is walking in the field, he hears the chirping of insects in the grass, and likes it very much, so he wants to imitate their chirping. Ask the insect and say, "Your usual food is na, and it sounds so good?"

The worm said, "It's just dew [on the blades of grass]." "The donkey thought that drinking dew was beneficial, so he stopped eating grass and used dew.

And for ten days the donkey starved to death.

2. In winter, the ant takes out the corn harvested in the summer, and other insects are hungry, so they come to it and ask the ants for corn. The ant said, "Then why don't you store food in the summer?"

The bug said, "I was busy singing to the summer (warm) wind." The ant smiled and said

Venerable singer) If you sing in the summer, you should hibernate in the cold weather, how can you say that you are hungry? ”

3. Two people walk together. A man found an axe in the road and said to his companion, "I have found an axe."

His companion (corrected) said, "Don't say 'I,' you should say 'we.'" "Later, on the road, I met people looking for an axe.

The one who found the axe said, "We are in danger." The companion (corrected) said

Don't say 'we', but you can say 'I'. "Therefore, in the world, only those who can face danger together can enjoy the harvest together.

A man was about to go far away, so he hired a donkey. It was very hot and the sun was exhausting, and the man tried to find a shade to cool off, but he couldn't find it, so he lay down under the donkey's belly to shade him. But the donkey can only lie on its stomach for one person, and pedestrians and donkey drivers are rushing to lie down.

The donkey man said, "I rented the donkey to you, but I didn't rent you the shadow of the donkey" The pedestrian said, "I rented your donkey, and the shadow of the donkey should be mine" The two men argued for a long time, and when they looked back, they saw that the donkey had been sunburned

Aesop's Fables is one of the world's earliest collections of fables. At the same time, Aesop's Fables is one of the most widely circulated fables in the history of world literature.

Foxes and grapes

The hungry fox saw the bunches of crystal clear grapes hanging from the grape trellis, and his mouth watered, and he wanted to pick them to eat, but he couldn't. After watching it for a while, he reluctantly left, and as he walked, he comforted himself and said, "This grape is not ripe, it must be sour." ”

That is to say, some people have little ability to do things, so they excuse themselves by saying that the time is not ripe.

Rats have a meeting

Once upon a time, rats were deeply distressed by cats.

So, they had a meeting together to discuss how to deal with the harassment of the cat in order to be safe. At the meeting, each had its own proposals, but they were all rejected. The last little mouse stood up and proposed, saying that a bell should be hung around the cat's neck, and that as soon as we hear the bell ring, we will know that the cat is coming, and we can run away immediately.

His proposal was applauded and unanimously adopted. An old mouse sat beside him, and remained silent.

At this time, he stood up and said, "The idea that the mouse has come up with is very brilliant and very safe; But there is one small question that needs to be solved, and that is who to send to hang the bell around the cat's neck? ”

The story is that it may not be difficult to come up with a great idea, but it is not so easy to implement it.

The old man and the donkey

The old man and his donkey came to a meadow. The donkey seemed very excited, and immediately ran into the meadow and frolicked.

The enemy is coming, and his master sees it. The old man was very alarmed, "Quick, we should leave immediately, otherwise it will be too late, don't you see that the enemy is coming?" ”

I don't want to run, if the enemy catches me, will they make me carry heavier things? The donkey asked the old man.

No, no, I have to run. "The old man ran away.

The donkey was still leisurely nibbling on the tender grass, and he knew in his heart that he was just a donkey.

Great wisdom: This donkey is very smart, he understands his situation, no matter how he goes, he is suffering and being enslaved by others.
