双语·《伊索寓言》 狼和狮子

THE WOLF AND THE LION

A wolf stole a lamb from the flock, and was carrying it off to devour it at his leisure when he met a Lion, who took his prey away from him and walked off with it. He dared not resist, but when the Lion had gone some distance he said, “It is most unjust of you to take what's mine away from me like that.” The Lion laughed and called out in reply, “It was justly yours, no doubt! The gift of a friend, perhaps, eh?”

狼和狮子

有一只狼从羊群中偷到了一只小羊，想把他拖到远处去大快朵颐。路上，他碰到了狮子，结果狮子夺走他的猎物跑了。狼不敢反抗，可是等狮子走远一些后，他说：“你这样强抢我的东西可不公平！”狮子听了哈哈笑着回答：“这是你的，没错！是不是你朋友送你的，嗯？”
