171. The Dog And The Hare

A Hound having started a Hare on the hi
ll-side, pursued her for some distance; at one time biting her with his teeth as if he would take her life, and at another time fawning upon her, as if in play with another dog. The Hare said to him, "I wish you would act sincerely by
me, and show yourself in your true colours. If you are a friend, why do you bite me so hard? if an enemy, why do you fawn up on me?"

They are no friends whom you know not whether to trust or to dis
trust.
171. 狗和兔子
一只猎狗在山边追赶一只兔子,追了它好一段距离;有时用它的牙齿去咬它,仿佛要它的性命一样;有时却向它嬉皮笑脸,像在和别的狗玩耍一样。 兔子对它说:「我希望你实实在在对待我,表露出你自己的真意来。 如果你是朋友,你为什么凶狠地咬我?如果你是敌人,你为什么又向我开玩笑?」

凡是你不知道这人是否可信任,不可以和他做朋友。
