双语·《伊索寓言》 驴、狐狸和狮子

THE ASS, THE FOX, AND THE LION

An Ass and a Fox went into partnership and sallied out to forage for food together. They hadn't gone far before they saw a Lion coming their way, at which they were both dreadfully frightened. But the Fox thought he saw a way of saving his own skin, and went boldly up to the Lion and whispered in his ear, “I'll manage that you shall get hold of the Ass without the trouble of stalking him, if you'll promise to let me go free.” The Lion agreed to this, and the Fox then rejoined his companion and contrived before long to lead him by a hidden pit, which some hunter had dug as a trap for wild animals, and into which he fell. When the Lion saw that the Ass was safely caught and couldn't get away, it was to the Fox that he first turned his attention, and he soon finished him off, and then at his leisure proceeded to feast upon the Ass.

Betray a friend, and you'll often find you have ruined yourself.

驴、狐狸和狮子

驴和狐狸交上了朋友，他们一起出发去寻找食物，没走出多远，便迎头遇上了一只狮子，他们都害怕得要命。但是，狐狸想到了一个自救的办法，于是他壮着胆子走到狮子跟前，附在他的耳边悄声说：“我可以设法帮你毫不费力地抓到那只驴，只要你能放了我。”狮子同意了，于是狐狸重新回到他的朋友身边，计划带着驴前往一个隐藏的陷坑，那是猎人挖来捕捉野生动物的陷阱。驴自然掉进了陷阱中。狮子看到驴被捉住，无路可逃了，就把注意力先放在了狐狸身上，很快便把狐狸给吞下吃光了，然后才悠闲地开始享用驴。

训诫：背叛朋友，常常也会毁了自己。
