雙語(yǔ)·《伊索寓言》 獅子、熊和狐貍

THE LION, THE BEAR, AND THE FOX

A Lion and a Bear were fighting for possession of a kid, which they had both seized at the same moment. The battle was long and fierce, and at length both of them were exhausted, and lay upon the ground severely wounded and gasping for breath. A Fox had all the time been prowling round and watching the fight: and when he saw the combatants lying there too weak to move, he slipped in and seized the kid, and ran off with it. They looked on helplessly, and one said to the other, “Here we've been mauling each other all this while, and no one the better for it except the Fox!”

獅子、熊和狐貍

獅子和熊同時(shí)抓到了一只小羊，為了爭(zhēng)奪所有權(quán)，便發(fā)生了爭(zhēng)斗。他們的戰(zhàn)斗漫長(zhǎng)而激烈，到最后雙方都精疲力竭，傷痕累累地躺在地上，喘著粗氣。有一只狐貍一直在旁邊徘徊，觀察著這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)斗，當(dāng)他看到獅子和熊都躺在地上，虛弱得動(dòng)不了時(shí)，便偷偷摸過(guò)去，抓住小羊跑掉了。獅子和熊無(wú)助地看著，卻也沒有辦法，其中一個(gè)說(shuō)：“我們一直在這兒廝殺，結(jié)果只有狐貍得到了好處！”
