<漢譯英>

中文原文：

兩只老虎

有兩只老虎，一只在籠子里，一只在野地里。在籠子里的老虎三餐無憂，在外面的老虎自由自在。

籠子里的老虎總是羨慕外面老虎的自由，外面的老虎卻羨慕籠子里的老虎安逸。一日，一只老虎對另一只老虎說：“咱們換一換。”另一只老虎同意了。

于是籠子里的老虎走進了大自然，野地里的老虎走進了籠子。但不久，兩只老虎都死了。一只是饑餓而死，一只是憂郁而死。

許多時候，人們往往對自己的幸福熟視無睹，而覺得別人的幸福很耀眼，卻想不到別人的幸福也許對自己不合適。

參考譯文：

Two Tigers

There were two tigers; one lived in a cage and the other in the wild. The caged one didn't have to worry about his meal while the one outside was unrestrained.

The caged tiger was always envious of the freedom of the one in the wild, while the other one envied the caged one for his ease. One day, one tiger said to the other: "let's change places". The other one agreeded.

There upon the caged one went back to nature while the other came into the cage. But before long both died, one of starvation, and the other, melancholy.

Sometimes one is not conscious of his own happiness and always thinks the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, but not think over that one man's meat is another man's poison.
