伊索寓言：The Old Woman and the Wine-Jar 老太婆和酒瓶

　　The Old Woman and the Wine-Jar
老太婆和酒瓶


　　AN OLD WOMAN found an empty jar which had lately been full of prime old wine and which still retained the fragrant smell of its former contents. She greedily placed it several times to her nose, and drawing it backwards and forwards said, "O most delicious! How nice must the Wine itself have been, when it leaves behind in the very vessel which contained it so sweet a perfume!"
　　The memory of a good deed lives.
　　
　　一個老太婆找到一個不久前曾裝過最好陳酒的空酒瓶。這酒瓶仍帶著濃濃的酒香，她多次把酒瓶放在鼻尖下，不斷搖晃，貪婪地吮吸酒香，并說：「啊，多么甜美！裝過酒的空瓶都留下這樣甘美難忘的香味，那酒真不知有多么美味芬香?！?br /> 　　這個故事帶出的啟示就是：美好的事物留下深遠的影響，使人們永遠難以忘記。
