【篇一】 A Wolf in sheep's clothing
A wolf wanted to eat the sheep, but he was afraid of the vigilant shepherd and his dogs. One day the wolf found the skin of a sheep. He put it on and walked among the sheep. A lamb thought that the wolf was its mother because his skin looked like hers. So it followed the wolf. Soon after they had left the dogs, the wolf came at the lamb and ate it up. For some time he succeeded in deceiving the sheep, and enjoying hearty meals.
披著羊皮的狼
狼想吃羊，但是他害怕警惕的牧羊人和牧羊犬。 有一天狼發(fā)現(xiàn)了一塊羊皮，便披著它混入羊群。 一只小羊羔把這只披著羊皮的狼誤認為自己的媽媽，被領(lǐng)出了羊群。 狼成功地欺騙了羊群，吃掉了小羊羔。
寓意：事物的外表有時候會掩蓋它的本質(zhì)，所以我們不能只憑表面現(xiàn)象就作判斷。
【篇二】
A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."
守財奴
有個守財奴變賣了他所有的家產(chǎn)，換回了金塊，并秘密地埋在一個地方。他每天走去看 看他的寶藏。有個在附近放羊的牧人留心觀察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金塊拿走了。 守財奴再來時，發(fā)現(xiàn)洞中的金塊沒有了，便捶胸痛哭。有個人見他如此悲痛，問明原因后， 說道：“喂，朋友，別再難過了，那塊金子雖是你買來的，但并不是你真正擁有的。去拿一 塊石頭來，代替金塊放在洞里，只要你心里想著那是塊金子，你就會很高興。這樣與你擁有 真正的金塊效果沒什么不同。依我之見，你擁有那金塊時，也從沒用過�！�
這故事說明，一切財物如不使用等于沒有。
