双语·《伊索寓言》 盲人和狼崽

THE BLIND MAN AND THE CUB

There was once a Blind Man who had so fine a sense of touch that, when any animal was put into his hands, he could tell what it was merely by the feel of it. One day the Cub of a Wolf was put into his hands, and he was asked what it was. He felt it for some time, and then said, “Indeed, I am not sure whether it is a Wolf's Cub or a Fox's: but this I know—it would never do to trust it in a sheepfold.”

Evil tendencies are early shown.

盲人和狼崽

有一个盲人，他的触觉十分灵敏，任何动物只要放到他手里，他摸一摸，就能知道那是什么。有一天，有人将一只狼崽放到了他手里，问他那是什么。他考虑了一下，才说：“我的确不太肯定这是狼崽还是狐狸崽子，但是我知道，这东西绝对不能放到羊圈里。”

训诫：防微杜渐，将危险扼杀于萌芽中。
