伊索寓言雙語(yǔ)故事：狐貍和葡萄

　　The fox and the grapes

　　狐貍和葡萄

　　One hot summer day a fox was walking through an orchard. He stopped before a bunch of grapes. They were ripe and juicy.

　　一個(gè)炎熱的夏日，狐貍走過(guò)一個(gè)果園，他停在一大串熟透而多汁的葡萄前。

　　"I’m just feeling thirsty," he thought. So he backed up a few paces, got a running start, jumped up, but could not reach the grapes.

　　狐貍想：“我正口渴呢。”于是他后退了幾步，向前一沖，跳起來(lái)，卻無(wú)法夠到葡萄。

　　He walked back. One, two, three, he jumped up again, but still, he missed the grapes.

　　狐貍后退又試。一次，兩次，三次，但是都沒(méi)有得到葡萄。

　　The fox tried again and again, but never succeeded. At last he decided to give it up.

　　狐貍試了一次又一次，都沒(méi)有成功。 后，他決定放棄。

　　He walked away with his nose in the air, and said“I am sure they are sour.

　　”他昂起頭,邊走邊說(shuō)：“葡萄還沒(méi)有成熟，我敢肯定它是酸的。”

　　寓意:

　　在經(jīng)歷了許多嘗試而不能獲得成功的時(shí)候，有些人往往故意輕視成功，以此來(lái)尋求心理安慰。
