영한 짧은 이솝우화 6탄~

[유재석]

저번 5탄 때 해석 못한거랑 짧은 거랑 해서 3개 올릴께요~


1.The Hawk and the Pigeons (해결)

Some pigeons had long lived in fear of a hawk.
but since they had always kept on the alert! and stayed near their dovecote,
they had consistently managed to escape their enemy's attacts.
Finding his sallies unsuc-cessful, the hawk now sought to use cunning to trick the pigeons.
"Why," he once asked, "do you prefer this life of constant anxiety when I could keep you safe
from any conceivable attack by the kites and falcons? All you have to do is to make me your king,
and I won't bother you anymore."
Trusting his claims, the pigeons elected him to their throne, but no sooner was he installed then
he began exercising his royal prerogative by devouring a pigeon a day.
"It serves us right." said one poor pigeon whose turn was yet to come.

Some remedies are worse than the disease itself.

2.The Fox and the Lion

A fox had never seen a lion before, and when he finally encountered one for the first time,
he was so terrified that he almost died of fright.
When he met him the second time, he was still afraid but managed to conceal his fear.
When he saw him the third time, he was so emboldened that he went up to him and began
having a familar conversation with him.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

3.The Creaking Wheels

As some oxen were pulling a wagon along a bumpy road, the wheels began to creak and make
a tremen-dous noise, whereupon the driver cride to the wagon, "Brute! Why do you groan when those cratures who are doing all the work are silent?"

Those who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most.
