But when he was compelled to grind instead of serving in the wars, he bewailed his change of fortune, and called to mind his former state, saying, "Ah! Mille r, I had indeed to go campaigning before, but I was barbed from counter to tail, and a man went along to groom me; and now, I cannot tell what ailed me to prefer the mill before the battle." " Forbear," said the Miller to him, "harping on what you were of yore, for it is the common lot of mortals to sustain the ups and downs of fortune." | 69.战马和磨坊主人 一匹老迈的战马，离开战场，投身到一个磨坊里去。 不过当它不服军役了，却被强迫要推磨，它悲伤自己乖舛的命运，回想起从前的情形，就说：。 「啊！磨坊主人，我以前固然一定要上战场，但我从头到尾，都有人给我洗刷，又有人按时饲养我；如今我真不知道，我为什么要离开战场，而来到磨坊？」 磨坊主人回答说：「不准恋恋不舍过去的事情，因为乐往悲来，是人世间所有事物共同的命运。」 |
