秃鹫vulture[英][ˈvʌltʃə(r)] [美][ˈvʌltʃɚ] 中英文小故事：秃鹫的眼力 听说，秃鹫举目便能看出一天的行程，从高山向下俯视一切历历在目。 一次，秃鹫对乌鸦夸口吹嘘，说：“谁也比不上我的眼力。” 乌鸦说：“空口无凭，你既夸耀自己的眼力，那请说说看在旷野上你看到了什么东西？” 秃鹫答：“我若说出来你可别见笑，有一颗麦粒掉落在旷野荒郊的土地上。” 乌鸦听了心中置疑。于是他们一同往下飞去观看。当秃鹫徐徐地飞到那颗麦粒上方时，忽然他的背后有一张大网撒了下来，把他罩住了。秃鹫万万没想到在他张嘴要啄那小麦粒的当儿，命运的罗网却已无声无息地降落下来。 乌鸦叹道：“秃鹫啊，你看到麦粒有何用？你却看不到敌人的罗网已暗中抛出。” 而那落入猎人手中的秃鹫无限感慨地说：“命中注定的劫数似乎躲也躲不开。即使在一片浩瀚无际的大海里，再高明的游泳者也难免有遇难送命的一天！” The Eyesight of tlie Vulture It was said that the eye of the vulture could see everything clearly as he gazed down from high above. A vulture once bragged to the crow, “No one’s eyesight can be better than mine•” “You’re just boasting about your eyesight without any evidence，” said the crow. “If it were so, then tell me what you can see in the wilderness.” The vulture answered, “Don’t mock me when I say this, that there is a wheat grain in the wasteland of the wilderness’ The crow was skeptical over what the vulture said, so both of them flew down towards that place to have a look. As the vulture’s position was just above the grain, a net was cast from above and he was trapped. It never occurred to the vulture that he could be trapped as he prepared to peck at the grain. The crow sighed and said, “Oh Vulture, what is the use if you can see the small grain but could not see the trap set up by the enemy?” Trapped in the net, the vulture was resigned to his fate. He said, “One cannot escape losing his life in a vast and boundless ocean, no matter how good a swimmer he is.” 中英文例句 1.
