中英对照文字版:
The Oxen and the Axle—Trees
A heavy wagon was being dragged along a country lane by a team of oxen. The axle—trees groaned and creaked terribly; whereupon the oxen, turning round, thus addressed the wheels: “hello there! Why do you make so much noise? We bear all the labor, and we, not you, ought to cry out.”
Those who suffer most cry out the least.
公牛与车轴
几头公牛正使劲拉着货车在乡间公路上行走,车轴被压得发出吱吱的响声,牛回过头,对车轴说道:“喂,朋友,我们无声无息负担着全部重量,你叫唤什么呢?”
那些努力干活的人说的却是最少的。
