有一个人，他有四个儿子。 他希望他的儿子能够学会不要太快对事情下结论。 所以，他依次给四个孩子一个问题，要他们分别去远方看一棵梨树。 大儿子在冬天出发，二儿子在春天，三儿子在夏天，小儿子则在秋天出发。 当他们都回家后，他把他们都叫到跟前，让他们描绘自己看到的景象。 大儿子说，那棵树很丑，枯槁而扭曲。 二儿子说，不是这样子的，这棵树被青青的嫩芽覆盖，充满了希望。 三儿子不同意，他说树上花朵绽放、芳香四溢，看起来十分美丽，这美景是他从来不曾见到过的。 小儿子不同意他们三个的说法。他说树上结满了果子，富足而充满生机。 这个人对四个儿子说，你们都对，因为每个人都只看到了这棵树一个季节的风景，你们不能用一季的风景来评判一棵树，只有在经历过所有季节之后，才能衡量。 The Scenery of Four Seasons There was a man who had four sons. He hoped that his sons could learn not to judge things too quickly. So he gave his four sons a question in turn asking them to go to see a pear tree at a distance respectively. The first son set out in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in the summer, and the youngest in the autumn. When all of them returned home，he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said the tree was ugly, bent and distorted. The second son said it was not like that, but the tree was covered with green buds and full of hope. The third son disagreed, saying that it was laden with blossoms which smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful. And he had never seen such beautiful scenery. The last son disagreed all of them, saying that it was overhung with fruits, full of life and content. The man told his four sons that you were all correct because you only saw the scenery of the tree in one season; you could not judge a tree only by one season, and it could only be measured when all the seasons were over. respectively 分别地；各自地 distorted 歪曲的；扭曲的 lade with (主要用于被动语态）满载……；充满着…… content 满足；内容 |
