跟Susan一起學美語 第16期:中國經典智慧之吳王射巧猿
The King Kills a Special Monkey
吳王到山上射猴，許多猴子都趕緊躲入深山，只有一隻猴子，在樹枝上跳來跳去，不怕生人。
Once when the king of Wu went into the mountains to hunt monkeys, all the monkeys ran away deeper into the mountains, except one. That monkey stayed up in the tree, jumping and swinging around, not the least bit afraid of people.
嘻嘻嘻，射不到！
Nyah, nyah. Can't get me!
大家一起放箭！
Everybody open fire.
非要把它射下來不可。
We're not leaving till we get it.
這猴子雖然靈巧，但是就因爲誇耀靈巧，所以傷了性命。
This monkey was special, but showing off got
it killed.
本領不可誇，智慧不可耀。鋒芒常常會招來禍害，所以應自晦光芒。
Don't boast about your talents and intelligence. A revealing glint can bring harm, so it's best to obscure your brilliance.
