伊索寓言:马和鹿
The Horse and the Stag
AT ONE TIME the Horse had the plain entirely to himself. Then a Stag intruded into his domain and shared his pasture. The Horse, desiring to revenge himself on the stranger, asked a man if he were willing to help him in punishing the Stag. The man replied that if the Horse would receive a bit in his mouth and agree to carry him, he would contrive effective weapons against the Stag. The Horse consented and allowed the man to mount him. From that hour he found that instead of obtaining revenge on the Stag, he had enslaved himself to the service of man.
马和鹿
从前有一匹马独 一片草原。有一天,一只鹿闯入了他的领地,想与他分享草原。马对鹿的闯入十分仇视,一心想报复,便向人请求帮助惩罚鹿。人回答说,如果愿意把一块马口铁含在嘴里,并答应让人骑在马背上,他就拿出最有效的武器为马去驱逐鹿。马同意了人的要求,允许人骑在他身上。从这以后,马才知道,还没有对鹿进行报复,自己却成了人的奴隶。
这个故事带出的启示就是:不假思索地答应别人提出的条件,往往不但达不到自己的目的,反而会失去更多。
