中國寓言故事雙語版 第30期:引嬰投江
Once upon a time, a man passing by a river noticed that a grown-up man was going to throw a child he carried in his arms into the river.
從前,有個人路過江邊時,發現一個成年男子抱著一個小孩,準備把他投到江裡去。
At this moment, the child was frightened, crying loudly and shouting in confusion.
這時候,小孩害怕了,嚇得“哇哇”地亂哭亂叫。
The passer-by asked:
那個過路人就問:
"Why are you to throw the child into the river?
“你為什麼要把孩子投到江裡去?難道不怕他淹死嗎?”
Aren't you afraid he would be drowned?"
那個男一子回答說:
The man answered:"It doesn't matter. His father is good at swimming."
“不要緊,他爸爸是個游泳能手。”
The passer-by then asked:
那個過路人就說:
"His father can swim, but does it follow that the son can also swim without practice?"
“爸爸會游泳,難道他兒子不經過練習,也會游泳嗎?”
