Reading:The Eagle and the Arrow

2017-09-20

An eagle was flying in the sky. As soon as it saw a rabbit, it swooped down on its prey.

鹰在天空中飞翔,当他看见一只野兔时,就俯冲下来捕捉猎物。

 

Suddenly it was hit by an arrow.

突然,有人一箭射中了它

 

It fluttered slowly down to the earth, and blood was pouring from the wound.

鹰扇着翅膀降落在地面上。鲜血从伤口中喷涌而出

 

When the eagle looked down, he found that the shaft of the arrow was feathered with one of its own plumes. “Alas!” it cried. “We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.”

它低头看到箭尾竟是由一根它自己的羽毛制成的,就痛苦地说:唉,我们总是给敌人提供毁灭我们自己的工具!
