篇一：

A man wanted to buy an ass. He went to the market, and saw a likely one. But he wanted to test him first.

So he took the ass home, and put him into the stable with the other asses.

The new ass looked around, and immediately went to choose a place next to the laziest ass in the stable.

When the man saw this he put a halter on the ass at once,

and gave him back to his owner.

The owner felt quite surprised. He asked the man, "Why are you back so soon?

Have you tested him already?" "I don't want to test him any more," replied the man, "From the companion he chose for himself, I could see what sort of animal he is."

一個買主到市場上去買驢，他看中一頭外表不錯的驢，但是他想要先牽走試一試。

他把驢牽回家，放在自己其他的驢之間，這驢四處看看，立即走向一頭好吃懶做的驢旁邊。

於是，買驢的人立刻給那頭驢套上轡頭，牽去還給驢的賣主。

賣主感到很奇怪，他問買主：“你怎麼這麼快就回來了?”買主説：“不必再試了，從他所選擇什麼樣的朋友來看，我已經知道他是什麼樣了。”

寓意：物以類聚，人以羣分。人們往往喜歡跟與自己相同的人交往，所以，我們可以根據一個人的朋友來推斷他的'為人。

篇二：

A fox's tail was caught in a trap. When he was trying to release himself, he lost his whole tail except the stump.

At first he was ashamed to see the other foxes because he had no tail, but he was determined to face his misfortune. He called all the foxes to a meeting.

When they had gotten together, the fox said that they should all do away with their tails.

He said that their tails were very inconvenient when they met with their enemies. He did not talk about any advantages of the tail. "You are right," said one of the older foxes, "but I don’t think you would advise us to do away with our tails if you hadn't lost it yourself first."

一隻狐狸的尾巴被夾住了，當他試着脱身的時候，掙斷了整條尾巴。

開始時，他看到其他狐狸的時候感到很羞愧。後來，他決定面對這種不幸，就召集了所有的狐狸開會。

大家到齊後，他極力勸説其他狐狸也割掉尾巴，説尾巴在遭遇敵人時很不方便，尾巴一點兒作用也沒有。

可他沒有説有尾巴的任何好處。一隻老狐狸站出來説：“如果你沒有失去你的尾巴，你是不會來勸大家都割去尾巴的。
