The Lion The Bear And The Fox
狮子、熊和狐狸
by Aesop
出自《伊索寓言》
Just as a great Bear rushed to seize a stray kid, a Lion leaped from another direction upon the same prey. The two fought furiously for the prize until they had received so many wounds that both sank down unable to continue the battle.
正当一头熊冲过去捕捉一只流浪羊的时候，一头狮子从另一个方向也朝着同样的猎物扑过去。它俩为了这份奖赏打得十分激烈，直到双方都受了很多伤不能够再继续打斗了才停下来。
Just then a Fox dashed up, and seizing the kid, made off with it as fast as he could go, while the Lion and the Bear looked on in helpless rage.
就在这个时候，一只狐狸冲了过来，叼着那只羊羔飞快地跑掉了，而狮子和熊则只能在一旁愤怒而无助的看着。
"How much better it would have been," they said, "to have shared in a friendly spirit."
“要是我们能够友善地共享那只羊羔，那该多好啊。”它俩叹息地说道。
Those who have all the toil do not always get the profit.
正所谓：鹬蚌相争，渔翁得利。（直译为：辛勤工作的人并不总是能得到好处。）
