箭和鹰

李亚丽

[英语原文]

An eagle was flying in the sky. As soon as it saw a rabbit， it swooped down on its prey.

Suddenly it was hit by an arrow.

It fluttered slowly down to the earth， and blood was pouring from the wound.

When the eagle looked down， it found that the shaft of the arrow was feathered with one of its own plumes.“Alas！”it cried， “We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.”

[汉语翻译]

鹰在天空中飞翔，当它看见一只野兔时，就俯冲下来捕捉猎物。

突然，有人一箭射中了它。

鹰扇着翅膀降落在地面上，鲜血从伤口中喷涌而出。

它低头看到箭尾竟是由一根它自己的羽毛制成的，痛苦地说：“唉，我们总是给敌人提供毁灭我们自己的工具！”

[快人快语]

老鹰看到射伤自己的箭，箭尾竟然插着自己的羽毛，它心里就像打翻了五味瓶，各种味道都有，很不平靜。

其实，我们仔细思考一下，就可以理解老鹰的心情了：它因为自身的原因而受到别人的伤害，那种痛苦会更让它难过。
