父親和他的兒子們
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves.
一位父親有幾個(gè)孩子,,這些孩子經(jīng)常發(fā)生吵架。
When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations,he determinged to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion;and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks.
他沒有辦法勸阻他們,,只好讓他們看看不團(tuán)結(jié)帶來的害處,。為了達(dá)到這個(gè)目的,一天,,他叫他們給他拿一捆細(xì)柴來,。
When they had done so,he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession,and ordered them to break it in pieces.
當(dāng)他們拿過來的時(shí)候,他先后地將那捆柴放在每一個(gè)孩子手中,,讓他們弄斷這捆柴,。
They each tried with all their strength,and were not able to do it.
他們每個(gè)人都用盡全力,總是不能成功,。
He next unclosed the faggot,and took the sticks separately,one by one,and again put them into their hands,on which they broke them easily.
然后他解開那捆柴,,一根根地放在他們手里,如此一來,,他們便毫不費(fèi)力地折斷了,。
He then addressed them in these words:"My sons,if you are of one mind,and unite to assist each other,you will be as this faggot,uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies;but if you are divided among yourselves,you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
于是他就告訴他們說:“孩子們,!如果你們大家團(tuán)結(jié),,互相幫助,你們就像這捆柴一樣,,不能被你們的敵人折斷,;但如果你們不團(tuán)結(jié),就像這些散柴一樣,,不堪一折了,。”
