| 191. The Fox And The Monkey A Fox and a Monkey were travelling t ogether on the same road. As they journeyed, they passed through a cemetery full of monuments. "All these monuments which you see," said the Monkey, "are erected in honour of my ancestors, who were in their day freed man, and citizens of great renown." The Fox replied, "You have chosen a most appropriate subject for your falsehoods, as I am sure none of your ancestors will be able to contradict you." A false tale often betrays itself. | 191. 狐狸和猴子 一只狐狸和一只猴子走在同一条路上，。 它们走着的时候，经过一个墓地，里面有许多墓碑。 猴子说：「这些墓碑，都是建造起来向我的祖先致敬的。他们生时都是公民，又全是名满天下的人。」 狐狸回答说：「你倒选择了一个最适当的谎话了，因为我知道，你的祖先，已经没有一个会来反驳你了。」 谎话不攻自破。 |
