被吹掉假发的武士寓言故事
A bald knight , who wore a wig, went out to hunt.
有个秃头的武士,头戴假发,骑着马奔跑去打猎。
A sudden puff of wind blew off his hat and wig, at which a loud laugh rang forth from his companions.
突然,一阵风把他的假发吹跑了,他的同伴都情不自禁地放声大笑。
He pulled up his horse, and with great glee joined in the joke by saying, "What a marvel it is that hairs which are not mine should fly from me, when they have forsaken even the man on whose head they grew."
秃子勒住马说:这假发本来就不是我的,从我头上飞去,又有什么奇怪呢sigmaf;这假发不也是早已离开了那生长它的原主人吗sigmaf;
Thy pride is but the prologue of thy shame
这个故事带出的启示就是:人们不必为突然失去的东西所苦恼。原本不是你的东西想留也留不住,是你的就永远跑不掉。
