狼來了英語短文故事

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

狼來了

A shepherd-boy, who watched a flock of sheep near a village, brought out the villagers three or four times by crying out, "Wolf! Wolf!" and when his neighbors came to help him, laughed at them for their pains.

一個牧童，在一個村子的邊上放羊，他三番四次地喊“狼來了”，村民聽到後都跑出來幫他，但其實狼並沒有來，牧童只是拿他們來開玩笑。

The Wolf, however, did truly come at last. The Shepherd-boy, now really alarmed, shouted in an agony of terror: "Pray, do come and help me; the Wolf is killing the sheep"; but no one paid any heed to his cries, nor rendered any assistance. The Wolf, having no cause of fear, at his leisure lacerated or destroyed the whole flock.

不過，狼，最後真的來了。這時，牧童真的.着急了，他非常害怕地叫喊：“求求你們了，過來幫幫我吧，狼正在吃羊了”，但沒有人理他，更沒有人來幫他。結果，那隻狼肆無忌憚對羊羣大開殺戒，羊羣一下子就全毀了。

There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

這故事告訴我們：撒謊的人是沒人相信的，即使當他説實話的時候。
