伊索寓言：老人與死神（雙語(yǔ)）

　　導(dǎo)讀：《伊索寓言》大多是動(dòng)物故事，以動(dòng)物為喻，教人處世和做人的道理，是古希臘民間流傳的諷刺喻人的故事，經(jīng)后人加工，成為現(xiàn)在流傳的《伊索寓言》。

The old man and Death

　　An old man was gathering sticks in a forest.

　　At last he grew very tired and hopeless. He threw down all the sticks and cried out, I cannot bear this life any longer. Ah, I wish Death would come and take me!

　　As he spoke, Death appeared, and said to him, What would you do, old man? I heard you call me.

　　Please, sir, replied the old man, would you help me lift this bundle of sticks up to my shoulder?

老人與死神

　　●有個(gè)老人在森林中砍了不少柴，十分吃力地挑著走了很遠(yuǎn)的路。
