英语名著朗读《狐狸和伐木工》

主播：婷婷 Cathy The Fox and the Woodcutter A fox who was fleeing ahead of some hunters saw a woodcutter and plead with him to find a hiding-place.[1]The woodcutter promised to hide him in his hut, and did so.Some moment later the huntsmen arrived and asked the woodcutter if he had seen a fox in the vicinity.He replied in words that he had not seen one go past, but by signaling with his hands, he indicated where the fox was hidden.The huntsmen, however, took no notice of his gestures and simply took him at his words. After they had gone, the fox emerged from the hut without saying anything. When the woodcutter reproached him for showing no gratitude for having saved him, the fox replied:[2] “I would thank you if your gestures and your conduct had agreed with your words.” 狐狸和伐木工 一只狐狸在逃避猎人的追捕，这时他看到一个伐木工，就哀求他给找一个藏身之地。伐木工答应了，把他藏在自己的小屋里。过了一会儿，猎人追来了，问伐木工在附近有没有看到一只狐狸。他回答说没看到有狐狸经过，但是他做着手势暗示狐狸的藏身之处。可是猎人相信了他的话却没有注意到他的手势。 猎人走了之后，狐狸从小屋里钻出来，一言不发。伐木工责备狐狸说，自己救了他，他却一点感激的表示也没有。这时狐狸回答道： “如果你的手势、你的行为和你说的话一致，我就会感谢你的。 人生启示:心口如一者君子，表里不一者小人。真正的君子必然是言出必行，说到做到；而言行不一，两面三刀之人也想以君子自居，岂不让人嗤之以鼻？在与人交往时我们更要认清这类虚情假意之人，因为伪装的朋友比真正的敌人更危险！
