The Oxen and the Axle-Trees
公牛與車軸
A heavy wagon was being dragged along a country lane by a team of Oxen. The Axle-trees groaned and creaked terribly; where upon the Oxen, turning round, thus addressed the wheels: "Hullo there! why do you make so much noise? We bear all the labor, and we, not you, ought to cry out."
幾頭公牛正使勁拉著貨車行走，車軸被壓得發(fā)出吱吱的響聲，?；剡^(guò)頭，不耐煩地對(duì)車軸說(shuō)道："喂，朋友，我們無(wú)聲無(wú)息負(fù)擔(dān)著全部重量，你叫喚什么？"
Those who suffer most cry out the least.
那些叫喚得特別響的人往往干活少，而那些不作聲的人往往承擔(dān)著全部重量。
