Aesops FablesA Lamp,well filled with oil,burned with aclear and steady light,and began to swell withpride and boast that it shone more brightlythan the sun himself.有一盏装满油的油灯,在燃烧时发出了清晰稳定的亮光。油灯开始洋洋得意起来,以为自己发出的光比太阳光还要亮得多。Just then a puff of wind came and blew it out.就在这时,一阵风吹来,灯马上被吹灭了。Some one struck a match and lit it again,andsaid,You just keep alight,and never mind thesun.Why,even the stars never need to be relitas you had to be just now.有人过来又点燃了它,并说道:“你就好好亮着吧,永远不要去想太阳。为什么?因为即便是星星,也不会像你刚才一样被风吹灭。”
