The Eagle and the Jackdaw
雄鹰与寒鸦
An eagle
雄鹰
Swooping down on powerful wings
张开强有力的翅膀俯冲下来
Seized a lamb in her talons and made off with it to her nest
她用爪子抓住一只小羊羔带着它回到她的窝里
A jackdaw saw the deed
一只寒鸦看见了这一切
And his silly head was filled with the idea that
他愚蠢的脑袋里充满了这样的想法
He was big and strong enough to do as the eagle had done
他高大强壮可以像雄鹰一样所向披靡
So with much rustling of feathers and a fierce air
羽毛沙沙作响气势汹汹
He came down swiftly on the back of a large ram
他骑着一只大绵羊迅速地下来
But when he tried to rise again he found that he could not get away
但当他试图站起来时他发现他无法脱身
For his claws were tangled in the wool
因为他的爪子被羊毛缠住了
And so far was he from carrying away the ram
他离把羊运走还差多远
That the ram hardly noticed he was there
那只羊几乎没有注意到他的存在
The shepherd saw the fluttering jackdaw and at once guessed what had happened
牧羊人看见正在扑扇的寒鸦，马上猜出了什么事
Running up he caught the bird and clipped its wings
他跑上前去抓住鸟儿折断了翅膀
That evening he gave the jackdaw to his children
那天晚上他把寒鸦送给他的孩子们
What a funny bird this is
多么有趣的鸟儿
They said laughing what do you call it father
他们笑着说爸爸你怎么说的
That is a jackdaw my children
那是寒鸦我的孩子
But if you should ask him he would say he is an eagle
但如果你问他他会说他是雄鹰
Do not let your vanity make you overestimate your powers
不要让你的虚荣心让你高估自己的力量
