"Well, I like all this," said both the English-men; "always going down the hill, and yet alwa ys merry; it's worth the money to see it." So, they paid a hundred-weight of gold to the peasant, who, whatever he did, was not scolded but kissed. This is a story which I heard when I was a child ; and now you have heard it too, and know that 'What the old man does is always right.' | 「好,我喜欢这整件事,」两个英国人说,「虽然回去还得走下山,但总是令人愉快的,看到这幕情景是值得付出那笔钱的。」 于是他们付出一百镑重的金币给这个无论做什么都不被责备、反而被亲吻的农夫。 这是我年幼时听到的故事,如今你们也听到了,那么应该明白「老人所做的永远是对的」的含义吧! |
