中國寓言故事雙語版 第77期:狐假虎威
One day, a big tiger was looking for food in a dense forest.
一天，在一片茂密的森林裏，有一隻大老虎正在尋找食物。
A fox happened to scurry by, so the tiger pounced upon the fox and caught it.
一隻狐狸正好從老虎身邊竄過。於是，老虎猛撲過去，就把狐狸逮住了。
At this time, the fox suddenly hit upon a bright idea to get itself out of the predicament.
這時候，狐狸眼珠子骨碌一轉，急中生智。
It boosted its courage and said to the tiger:
壯着膽子，對老虎說:
"Do you dare to eat me?"
“你敢吃我?”
Taken aback, the tiger asked:"Why not?"
“爲什麼不敢?”老虎一愣。
"Heaven sends me to rule over all you animals. If you eat me, you will defy the order of Heaven. What a nerve!"
“老天爺派我來管理你們百獸。你吃了我，就是違抗了老天爺的命令。我看你有多大的膽子。”
Hoodwinked for the moment, the tiger released its claws.
老虎一下子被矇住了，就放開了爪子。
The fox wagged its tail proudly and said: "I will take you to the other animals, and show you my power and prestige."
狐狸得意地搖了搖尾巴，說:“我帶着你到百獸面前走一趟，讓你看看我的威風。”
The fox and the tiger, one in front and the other in back, walked towards the depths of the forest.
狐狸和老虎，一前一後，朝着森林的深處走去。
The fox was very cocky, shaking its head and wagging its tail.
狐狸神氣活現，搖頭擺尾。
The tiger was dubious, looking around.
老虎半信半疑，東張西望。
The boars, deer, gazelles, bares, etc. in the forest saw the fox come swaggering, entirely different from its usual self, and couldn't understand what was the matter.
森林裏的野豬、小鹿、黃羊、兔子，看見狐狸大搖大擺地走過來，跟往常大不一樣，都弄不明白到底是怎麼一回事，究竟是什麼原因。
But when they looked behind the fox:"Oh, a big tiger!" The wild animals, large and small, all fled for their lives.
再往狐狸身後一看，“呀，是一隻大老虎!”大大小小的野獸都嚇得撒腿就逃。
Now the fox was greatly pleased and said to the tiger:
這時候，狐狸得意洋洋，對老虎說:
"See, who isn't afraid of me?"
“你看，誰不怕我?”
