06 伊索寓言 狼和羊：暴君总有借口伤害无辜的人

As a wolf was drinking at the headof a running brook he saw a stray lamb paddling at some distance down thestream. 一只狼在一条奔流的小溪边喝水时，他看见一只迷途的羔羊在小溪下游不远处划水。

Having made up his mind to eat herfor his supper, he wondered what excuse he could make for a quarrel. 他下定决心要把她当晚餐吃，但不知道能找什么借口来吵架。

“Villain!” said he,running up to her, “how dare you spoil the water that I am drinking?” “小混蛋！”他跑到她跟前说：“你竟敢弄脏我喝的水？”

“Indeed,” said the lambhumbly, “I do not see how I can spoil the water, since it runs from you to me,not from me to you.” 羔羊谦卑地说：“我不明白我如何把水弄脏的，因为水是从你那里流到我这里来的，而不是从我这里流到你那里去的。”

“That is all verywell,” replied the wolf; “it is but a year since you called me many nastynames!” “就算你说得都对？”狼回答说，“但从你骂我那么多难听的话到现在不过一年而已！”

“Oh,sir,” said the lamb, trembling, “a year ago I was not born!” “哦，先生，”小羊颤抖着说，“一年前我还没出生呢！”

“Well,” replied thewolf, “if it was not you, it was your father, and that is all the same; but itis no use trying to talk me out of my supper”; and without another word fell upon the poorhelpless lamb and tore her to pieces. “好吧，”狼回答说，“如果不是你，那就是你的父亲，反正都是一样的；但是想劝我不要吃晚饭是没有用的。”于是他二话不说就扑倒在可怜无助的羔羊身上，把她撕成了碎片。
