The Fox And The Grapes

A hungry Fox saw some fine bunches of Grapes hanging from a vine that was trained along a high trellis, and did his best to reach them by jumping as high as he could into the air But it was all in vain, for they were just out of reach: so he gave up trying, and walked away with an air of dignity and unconcern, remarking, "I thought those Grapes were ripe, but I see now they are quite sour."

译文

狐狸和葡萄

一只饥肠辘辘的狐狸看到一根藤蔓上挂着几串上等的葡萄，藤蔓围绕在一个高高的棚架上。狐狸想尽办法跳到空中去够到它们，但这一切都是徒劳的，因为就是够不着葡萄，于是他放弃了尝试，带着一脸庄重而漠不关心的神态走开了，说道：“我之前以为那些葡萄已经成熟了，但我现在认为它们很酸。”
