經(jīng)典英語寓言故事：塞翁失馬
Near China's northern borders lived a man well versed in the practices of Taoism. His horse, for no reason at all, got into the territory of the northern tribes. Everyone commiserated with him.
"Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing," said his father.
After a few months, his animal came back, leading a fine horse from the north. Everyone congratulated him.
"Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a cause of misfortune," said his father.
Since he was well-off and kept good horses his son became fond of riding and eventually broke his thigh bone falling from a horse. Everyone commiserated with him.
"Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing," said his father.
One year later, the northern tribes started a big invasion of the border regions. All able-bodied young men took up arms and fought against the invaders, and as a result, around the border nine out of ten men died. This man's son did not join in the fighting because he was crippled and so both the boy and his father survived.
經(jīng)典英語寓言故事：意怠免患
According to legend, there was a kind of birds called "dais" (swallow) on the East China Sea.
The Yidais were slow in reaction. They could not fly very high and seemed clumsy andincapable1.
But when they moved about, they always moved in groups, depended on one another for survival, and flew and landed together.
When they advanced, no one dared to advance rashly. When they retreated, no one dared to fall behind at will. When they fed, no one dared to scramble2 to be the first. All their activities were orderly.
When they went into action,萬 dais always acted uniformly without any disorder3. They depended upon the collective efforts to avoid any harm from the outside world.
傳說，東海上有一種叫做“意怠”的鳥。
意怠反應(yīng)比較遲鈍，不能高飛，似乎笨拙無能。
但是，它們行動(dòng)的時(shí)候，總是成群結(jié)隊(duì)，相依為命，一起飛翔，一起降落。
它們前進(jìn)的時(shí)候，沒有一只敢擅自冒進(jìn);后退的時(shí)候，沒有一只敢隨便掉隊(duì);吃食的時(shí)候，也沒有一只敢搶先。一切活動(dòng)，都很有秩序。
意怠行動(dòng)起來總是這樣一致而不散亂，它們就是靠著集體的力量來避免外界對自己的傷害。
