The Mole And His Mother鼹鼠和它的妈妈 byAesop 出自《伊索寓言》 A little Mole once said to his Mother: 一只小鼹鼠某天对他妈妈说： 'Why, Mother, you said I was blind! But I am sure I can see!' “妈妈，你为何说我眼瞎啊！但是我非常肯定我是看得见的！” Mother Mole saw she would have to get such conceit out of his head. So she put a bit of frankincense before him and asked him to tell what it was. 它妈妈觉得必须要教育它不能那么自负，于是在它面前放了一点乳香，并叫它说说那是什么。 The little Mole peered at it. 小鼹鼠仔细端详了会儿。 'Why, that's a pebble!' “噢，那就是块鹅卵石嘛！” 'Well, my son, that proves you've lost your sense of smell as well as being blind.' “呵呵，我的孩子，那恰恰证明，你不仅失去了视觉，还失去了嗅觉。” Boast of one thing and you will be found lacking in that and a few other things as well. 寓意：你所欠缺的可不止你所吹嘘的。 |
