伊索寓言:狐狸和猴子争论家世
The Fox and the Monkey
A FOX and a Monkey were traveling together on the same road. As they journeyed, they passed through a cemetery full of monuments. "All these monuments which you see," said the Monkey, "are erected in honor of my ancestors, who were in their day freedmen and citizens of great renown." The Fox replied, "You have chosen a most appropriate subject for your falsehoods, as I am sure none of your ancestors will be able to contradict you."
A false tale often betrays itself.
狐狸和猴子争论家世
狐狸与猴子同行,一路互相争吵他们谁的家世高贵。他们各自夸耀一番后,来到了一处墓地。猴子转过头去,放声大哭。狐狸不知其原因,忙问他为甚么哭,猴子指着那些墓碑说:「我看到这些为我祖先所解放和奴役过的奴隶墓碑,怎能不伤心呢?」狐狸说:「你就使劲的吹牛骗人吧,他们之中没有谁能站起来反驳你。」
这个故事带出的启示就是:在没有人反驳时,说谎话的人尤为自吹自擂。
