伊索寓言:捕到石头的渔夫
The Fishermen
SOME FISHERMEN were out trawling their nets. Perceiving them to be very heavy, they danced about for joy and supposed that they had taken a large catch. When they had dragged the nets to the shore they found but few fish: the nets were full of sand and stones, and the men were beyond measure cast downso much at the disappointment which had befallen them, but because they had formed such very different expectations. One of their company, an old man, said, "Let us cease lamenting, my mates, for, as it seems to me, sorrow is always the twin sister of joy; and it was only to be looked for that we, who just now were over-rejoiced, should next have something to make us sad."
捕到石头的渔夫
渔夫们拉网时,觉得很沉重,他们高兴得手舞足蹈,以为这一下子捕到了许多的鱼。哪知把网拉到岸边,网里却满是石头和别的东西,没有一条鱼。他们十分懊丧,没捕到鱼倒也罢,难受的是事实与他们所预想的正好相反。他们中一个年老的渔夫说道:「朋友们,别难过,快乐总与痛苦在一起,她们如同一对姐妹。我们预先快乐过了,现在不得不忍受到一点点痛苦。」
这个故事带出的启示就是:人生变化万千,正如有时晴朗的天空会突然发生风暴,不要因挫折而苦恼。
