281. The Flea And The Man A Man, very much annoyed with a Flea, caught him at last, and said, "Who are you who dare to feed on my limbs, and to cost me so much trouble in catching you?" The Flea replied, "O my dear sir, pray spare my life, and destroy me not, for I cannot possibly do you much harm. " The Man, laughing, replied, "Now you shall certainly die by mine own hands, for no evil, whether it be small or large, ought to be tolerated." | 281. 跳蚤和人 一个人被一只跳蚤干扰得非常厌烦,终于把它捉住说道:「你是什么东西,竟敢咬我的肢体,而且还让我耗费了许多精神来捉你。」 跳蚤回答说:「哦,我亲爱的先生,请你饶了我的命吧,不要弄死我啊,因为实际上我对你不会有多大的害处的。」 人笑着说道:「现在你一定得死在我自己的手上,因为祸害,不管是大是小,都不应该被宽恕的。」 |
