面對(duì)傷害過(guò)自己的人,我們難以真正忘記有過(guò)的創(chuàng)痛。下面是小編整理的英語(yǔ)文章,歡迎大家閱讀!
The Neighbour and the Snake
A snake, having made his hole close to the door of a cottage, inflicted1 a sever2 bite on the cottager's little son. So the child died.
This caused much sorrow to his parents. The father decided3 to kill the snake. The next day, on its coming out of its hole for food, he took up his ax, but, making too much haste to hit the snake, missed its head, and cut off only the end of its tail.
After some time the cottager, lest the snake should also bite him, tried to make peace, and placed some bread and salt beside its hole, the snake, slightly hissing4, said, "From now on there can be no peace between us; for whenever I see you I shall remember the loss of my tail, and whenever you see me you will be thinking of the death of your son."
No one truly forgets injuries in the presence of him who caused the injury.
有條蛇在一家農(nóng)舍的門(mén)邊打了個(gè)洞,并把主人的小孩咬了一口,孩子就一命嗚呼。
這對(duì)夫婦痛不欲生。孩子的父親決意弄死那條蛇。第二天,當(dāng)蛇出洞覓食之時(shí),他舉起斧頭就砍那條蛇?上僦^(guò)急,沒(méi)砍中蛇頭,只砍斷了尾巴。
過(guò)了一陣子,屋主很害怕那條蛇會(huì)以牙還牙,就想同蛇講和,于是就將一些面包和鹽放在洞口。那條蛇發(fā)出絲絲的.聲音作出回答:“從今以后,在我們之間不會(huì)有和平。因?yàn)槲乙豢吹侥,就?huì)想自己被砍掉的尾巴;同樣當(dāng)你見(jiàn)到我時(shí), 你會(huì)想起你死去的兒子。”
