伊索寓言:白嘴鸦与乌鸦
The Crow and the Raven
A CROW was jealous of the Raven, because he was considered a bird of good omen and always attracted the attention of men, who noted by his flight the good or evil course of future events. Seeing some travelers approaching, the Crow flew up into a tree, and perching herself on one of the branches, cawed as loudly as she could. The travelers turned towards the sound and wondered what it foreboded, when one of them said to his companion, "Let us proceed on our journey, my friend, for it is only the caw of a crow, and her cry, you know, is no omen."
Those who assume a character which does not belong to them, only make themselves ridiculous.
白嘴鸦与乌鸦
乌鸦能为人们占卜吉凶,预测未来,被人们视为神鸟。白嘴鸦十分 慕,也想这样做。他看见有些行人路过时,便飞到一棵树上,大声地叫了起来。行人们惊奇地听到白嘴鸦的声音,转过头来看了看。其中一个人说:「朋友们,我们赶快走吧,这是一只白嘴鸦,他的叫声毫无作用。」
这个故事带出的启示就是:无能者嫉妒强者,往往达不到目的,而且还会遭到众人的耻笑。
