双语·《伊索寓言》 月亮和母亲

THE MOON AND HER MOTHER

The Moon once begged her Mother to make her a gown. “How can I?” replied she, “there's no fitting your figure. At one time you're a New Moon, and at another you're a Full Moon; and between whiles you're neither one nor the other.”

月亮和母亲

月亮恳求她的母亲给她做一件礼服。“怎么做啊？”母亲回答，“我没有办法让衣服的尺寸适合你啊。你有时候是新月，有时候是满月，还有时候既不是新月也不是满月。”
