| 217. The Fishermen Some Fishermen were out trawling their nets. Perceiving them to be very heavy, they danced about for joy, and supposed that they had taken a large draught of fish. When they had dragged their nets to the shore they found but few fish, and that the nets were full of sand and stones, and they were beyond measure cast down�� not so much at the disappointment which had befallen them, as because they had formed such very different expectations. One of their company, an old man, said, "Let us cease la menting, my mates, for, as it seems to me, sorrow is always the twin sister of joy; and it was only to be looked for that we, who just now were over-rejoiced, should next have something to make us sad." | 217. 渔夫 几个渔夫外出捕鱼， 当他们一起拉起网来，才发觉渔网很沉重，他们因此非常快乐，以为他们已捕到一大批鱼了。 当他们把网拉上岸时，却看到没有多少鱼，渔网里尽是泥沙和石子，于是他们都很懊恼，并不是为了他们眼前的情景而失望，而是因为他们都幻想它应该是满载才是。 这时在同伴当中有一个老人却说：「且让我们不要悲伤吧，我的同伴们，因为我觉得，悲伤与快乐根本上是孪生姊妹，要知道，我们刚才太兴奋了，所以接着便该有点事情来使我们伤心一下。」 |
