翻译：站在屋顶的小山羊与狼

小山羊站在屋顶上，看见狼从底下走过，便谩骂他，嘲笑他。

狼说道：“啊，伙计，骂我的不是你，而是你所处的地势。”

这故事说明，地利与天机常常给人勇气去与强者抗争。

翻译：狗和狼

一只狼快要饿死了，一只狗看见后问他：“你现在的无规律的生

活一定会毁掉你，为什么不像我一样稳定地干活并有规律地获得食物

呢?”

狼说：“如果我有个地方住，我没有意见。”狗回答说：“跟我到

主人那里去，我们一起工作。”于是狼和狗一起回到了村子。

在路上，狼注意到狗的脖子上有一圈没有毛，他很奇怪地问为

什么会那样。

“噢，没有什么，”狗说，“我的主人每天晚上都用一条铁链子

拴住我，你很快就会习惯的。”“就是因为这个原因吗?”狼说道，“那

么，再见了，我的朋友，我宁愿选择自由。”

狗和狼寓意:自由比安乐更重要。

翻译：亡羊补牢

从前有一个牧民，养了几十只羊，白天放牧，晚上赶进一个用

柴草和木桩等物围起来的羊圈内。

一天早晨，这个牧民去放羊，发现羊少了一只。原来羊圈破了

个窟窿，夜间有狼从窟窿里钻了进来，把一只羊叼走了。

邻居劝告他说：“赶快把羊圈修一修，堵上那个窟窿吧。”

他说：“羊已经丢了，还去修羊圈干什么呢？”没有接受邻居的

好心劝告。

第二天早上，他去放羊，发现又少了一只羊。原来狼又从窟窿

里钻进羊圈，又叼走了一只羊。

这位牧民很后悔没有认直接受邻居的劝告，去及时采取补救措

施。于是，他赶紧堵上那个窟窿，又从整体进行加固，把羊圈修得牢

牢实实的。

从此，这个牧民的羊就再也没有被野狼叼走过了。

牧民的故事告诉我们：犯了错误，遭到挫折，这是常见的现象。

只要能认真吸取教训，及时采取补救措施，就可以避免继续犯错误，

遭受更大的损失。

从前有一个农民，他有一座漂亮的橄榄园。他非常勤劳，而且

农场在他的照管下蒸蒸日上。可他知道自己的三个儿子瞧不起农活，

都迫不及待的想通过冒险发家致富。

这个农民上了年岁，感到死期快要来临时，将三个儿子叫到身

边说：“儿子们，橄榄园里藏有一罐金子。你们想要，就去挖吧。”

儿子们想让父亲告诉他们金子藏在果园的那一块地方，可他什

么也没再给他们说。那个农民死后，三个儿子就开始挖地，想找到

那罐金子；因为他们不知道金子藏在什么地方，所以他们一致同意排

他们挖啊挖，从果园的一头一直挖到了另一头，果树周围和果

树之间也都挖到了，可还是没有找到那罐金子。看来一定是有人已经

把那罐金子头走了，要么就是他们的父亲一直在异想天开。三个儿子

对他们白一场，感到大失所望。

到了第二年的橄榄季节，果园里的橄榄树接出的果子比以往的

都多；卖完果子后，三个儿子赚了整整一罐金子。

他们从果园里得到这么多钱后，突然明白了聪明的父亲所说的

“果园里藏有金子，想要就去挖吧”这句话的含义。

美国革命美国革命其实并不算是一场革命，因为它并未导致

完全的和彻底的变化。这

次革命并不是对政治和社会框架的一次突然和猛烈的颠覆，象

后来在已经是独立国家的法国和俄国所爆发的革命那样。

革命带来了重大的变化，但并非翻天覆地，所发生的只是进化

的加速，而不是一场彻底的革命；在冲突期间，人们仍然上班、做礼

拜、结婚、玩耍。多数人并没有受到实际战斗的严重影响。许多

较闭塞的社区对这场战争几乎一无所知。美国独立战争宣布了三个

现代国家的诞生，其中一个是加拿大。

2016

加拿大的第一大批讲英语的流入人口来自于成千上万英王的

效忠者，这些人从美国逃到了加拿大。另一个国家是澳大利亚，

因为美国不再是容纳罪犯和欠债者的国度了，澳大利亚就变成了一个

惩治罪犯的殖民地(注：独立战争前，英国政府将罪犯流放到美国)。

第三个国家就是美国，它完全建立在共和原则基础
