The Doe and the Lion | 母鹿与狮子

English Original

A doe, hard pressed by hunters, sought refuge in a cave belonging to a Lion. The Lion concealed himself on seeing her approach, but when she was safe within the cave, he sprang upon her and tore her to pieces.

"Woe is me," exclaimed the Doe, "who have escaped from man, only to throw myself into the mouth of a wild beast!"

In avoiding one evil, care must be taken not to fall into another.


中文翻译

一只被猎人紧追不舍的母鹿,逃进了一个属于狮子的洞穴寻求庇护。狮子看到她靠近,便藏了起来。等到母鹿安全进入洞穴后,狮子一跃而起,将她撕成了碎片。

“我真不幸啊!”母鹿哀叹道,“我逃脱了人类的追捕,却将自己送入了野兽之口!”

在躲避一种灾祸时,必须小心不要陷入另一种灾祸。
