The pitiful fish asks the fisherman to release it. 渔夫把网撒到海里,捕到了一条小梭鱼。那可怜的小鱼求渔夫放了它。 I am still young. He says: If you catch me after I am an adult, it is better for you. 他说:我还太小。他又说:如果你把我放了,等我长大后再来抓我,那对你会有更大的好处! The fisherman says: If I give up the present small profit to seek an uncertain future large one, am I not a fool? 渔夫说:如果我现在放弃手上已经得到的小利而去追求那些虚无渺茫的大利,那我岂不成了傻子了吗? This story means: Only a foolish man will give up the litter profit which he has and seek uncertain future large profits. 这个故事说明,愚蠢的人才会放弃已到手的小利,而去追求那些虚无的大利。 |
