用英语讲寓言故事——Farmer and Snake 农夫与蛇

农夫与蛇

Farmer and Snake

这是一个令人悲伤的故事，且看下文：

This is a sad story, read below:

在寒冷的冬天，一个农夫在田野里行走时，发现了一条冻僵的蛇。

In the cold winter, a farmer found a frozen snake while walking in the field.

这条蛇几乎失去了生命迹象，看起来非常可怜。

The snake almost lost its life signs and looked very pitiful.

农夫心生怜悯，决定救它一命。

The farmer felt pity and decided to save its life.

他小心翼翼地把蛇捡起来，放在自己的外套里，用自己的体温温暖蛇，希望能让它恢复生机。

He carefully picked up the snake, put it in his coat, and warmed the snake with his body temperature, hoping to revive it.

不久，蛇在农夫的怀里逐渐苏醒过来。

Soon, the snake gradually woke up in the farmer's arms.

然而，就在蛇完全恢复后，它突然转头咬了农夫一口。

However, just after the snake fully recovered, it suddenly turned around and bit the farmer.

农夫感到非常惊讶和痛苦，他无法理解为什么自己救了蛇的命，蛇却恩将仇报。

The farmer was very surprised and painful. He couldn't understand why he saved the snake's life, but the snake repaid his kindness with hatred.

在生命的最后一刻，农夫意识到，有些恶行是无法改变的，即使给予最大的善意，也不一定能得到相应的回报。

At the last moment of his life, the farmer realized that some evil deeds cannot be changed, and even if you give the greatest kindness, you may not get the corresponding return.

这个故事告诉我们，善良是美德，但在帮助他人时，我们也需要有一定的警惕和判断力，因为并非所有人或事都值得我们的信任和帮助。善良没错，但也要学会保护自己。

This story tells us: Kindness is a virtue, but when helping others, we also need to be vigilant and judge, because not everyone or everything is worthy of our trust and help. It’s okay to be kind, but you also have to learn to protect yourself.
