以下是整理的《英文寓言故事:油燈》,希望大家喜歡!
A Lamp, well filled with oil, burned with a clear and steady light, and began to swell with pride and boast that it shone more brightly than the sun himself.
Just then a puff of wind came and blew it out. Some one struck a match and lit it again, and said, "You just keep alight, and never mind the sun. Why, even the stars never need to be relit as you had to be just now."
有一盞裝滿油的油燈,在燃燒時(shí)發(fā)出了清晰穩(wěn)定的亮光。油燈開始洋洋得意起來,以為自己發(fā)出的光比太陽還要亮得多。
就在這時(shí),一陣風(fēng)吹來,燈馬上被吹滅了,有人過來點(diǎn)燃了它。并說道:“你就好好亮著吧,永遠(yuǎn)不要去想太陽。為什么?因?yàn)榧幢闶切切?,也不?huì)像你剛才一樣被風(fēng)吹滅?!?BR> 故事說的是:無論覺得自己有多么優(yōu)秀,也應(yīng)該找對(duì)自身所處的位置,以避免過于自大。
