The old woman and the wine-jar 老太婆和酒瓶子（中英）

An old Woman picked up an empty Wine-jar which had once contained a rare and costly wine, and which still retained some traces of its exquisite bouquet. She raised it to her nose and sniffed at it again and again. “Ah,” she cried, “how delicious must have been the liquid which has left behind so ravishing a smell.”

一个老太婆捡到一个空酒瓶，这个瓶子曾经装过价格不菲的稀世美酒，依然还带着浓浓的酒香。她把酒瓶放在鼻孔处，一次又一次贪婪地吸着酒香，并说：“啊，多么甜美！连装过酒的空瓶都能留下这样甘美难忘的香味，那瓶子里的酒还真不知道会多么甘美醇香呢。”
