Two Peasants 两个农夫
Once upon a time two peasants attempted to pass each other, and their sledges became entangled. One cried, "Give me room, I must get to town as quickly as possible." The other said, "You give me room, I must get home as quickly as possible." Thus for a long time they disputed. A third peasant saw it, and said, "If you are in such a hurry, then each of you give way a little." 从前,两个农夫试图迎面而过时,他们驾的雪橇却交错在了一起。 其中一个喊道:“让开点儿道,我必须尽快赶到城里。” 另外一个说:“你让开点道, 我必须尽快赶到家里。” 他们就这样长时间争执不下。 另有一个农夫见了说:“要是你们都这么着急的话,就各自退让一点儿吧。” |
