双语·《伊索寓言》 狮子和野驴

THE LION AND THE WILD ASS

A Lion and a Wild Ass went out hunting together: the latter was to run down the prey by his superior speed, and the former would then come up and despatch it. They met with great success; and when it came to sharing the spoil the Lion divided it all into three equal portions. “I will take the first,” said he, “because I am King of the beasts; I will also take the second, because, as your partner, I am entitled to half of what remains; and as for the third—well, unless you give it up to me and take yourself off pretty quick, the third, believe me, will make you feel very sorry for yourself!”

Might makes right.

狮子和野驴

狮子和野驴一起去打猎，野驴依靠自己的速度追逐猎物并将其撞倒，而狮子在后面跟上，将猎物击败。他们收获颇丰，到了分配成果的时候，狮子将猎物分成了三等份。“我要拿走第一份，因为我是百兽之王。我也要拿走第二份，因为作为你的搭档，我有权得到剩下的一半。而第三份呢，你最好把它给我，然后赶快逃命，不然，相信我，你会深深遗憾的！”

训诫：能力决定权力。
