短篇英语寓言小故事
The charcoal-burner and the fuller 烧炭工和漂洗工
There was once a charcoal1-burner who lived and worked by himself. A fuller, however, happened to com#e and settle in the same neighbourhood; and the charcoal-burner, having made his acquaintance and finding he was an agreeable sort of fellow, asked him if he would com#e and share his house: "We shall get to know one another better that way," he said, "and, beside, our household expenses will be diminished." The fuller thanked him, but replied, "I couldn't think of it, sir: why, everything I take such pains to whiten would be blackened in no time by your charcoal."
从前，有一个自力更生的烧炭工人独自在家做工作。碰巧，一个漂洗工搬至隔壁，与他成了邻居。结实漂洗工后，烧炭工人经过了解发现，这个邻居是一个很好的合作伙伴，就问漂洗工愿不愿意搬到他的铺子里一起工作。“那样我们会更加亲密。”烧炭人说：“不仅如此，我们还可以节省生活开销呢?”漂洗工谢绝了他，回答说：“我可不这样看，先生，因为不管我的衣服漂洗的多么白，都会立刻被你的木炭染黑了。”
The cage-bird and the bat 笼子里的鸟与蝙蝠
A singing-bird was confined1 in a cage which hung outside a window, and had a way of singing at night when all other birds were asleep. One night a bat came and clung2 to the bars of the cage, and asked the bird why she was silent by day and sang only at night. "I have a very good reason for doing so," said the bird: "it was once when I was singing in the daytime that a fowler was attracted by my voice, and set his nets for me and caught me. Since then I have never sung except by night." But the bat replied, "It is no use your doing that now when you are a prisoner. If only you had done so before you were caught, you might still have been free."
Precautions3 are useless after the event.
