二個袋子 伊索著 江銘輝 翻譯
圖:每一個人的誕生時,頸部懸掛二個袋子- - 前面的一個小袋子充滿別人的過錯,後面的大袋裝滿他自己的過錯。
按照古老的傳說,每一個人誕生在世界上,在他們的頸部都懸掛二個袋子- -前面的一個小袋子裝滿他鄰居的過錯,後面的大袋充滿他自己的過錯。因此人們很快發現別人的過錯,但往往看不到自己的缺點。
譯者評論:一個人要挑取他人的毛病很容易,但檢視自己的缺點卻很難。也就是說一個人反醒自己很難,沒有勇氣改進。
The two bags
EVery man, according to an ancient legend, is born into the world with two bags suspended from his neck – a small bag in front full of his neighbors' faults, and a large bag behind filled with his own faults. Hence it is that men are quick to see the faults of others, and yet are often blind to their own failings.
