キツネとツル
A fox and Craneキツネが平たいお皿にマメのスープを入れて、ツルにすすめました。
A fox offered bean soup in a flat plate to a crane.ツルが困っているのを見て、キツネは笑いました。
The fox laughed at the crane which looked so annoyed.スープが水っぽくて、ツルの細い口には入らないからです。
The soup was so watery that there’s no way for the crane to sip with the long and thin mouth.ところが今度はツルがキツネを食事に呼んで
One day, the crane invited the fox to dinner細長いくびのびんにごちそうを入れて出しました
and served food in a bottle with the long and thin neck.ツルは楽に口を突っ込んで食べましたが
Though the crane ate it putting his mouth into the bottle easily,キツネの口は細長いくびのびんには入らない為、どうしても食べる事が出来ません
the fox couldn't eat it because he couldn't put his mouth into the bottle with the long thin neck.キツネに仕返しをしたツルは、困っているキツネを見て笑いました
The crane, who succeeded getting back at the fox, laughed at the fox in trouble.こんな風に、学者たちが食事の時に難しい理屈の問題を持ち出すと
Thus, if scholars bring up difficult subjects to talk about at meal times,それがわからない普通の人々は退屈しますし
ordinary people would be bored not knowing what to say to respond.反対に普通の人々がバカげた話を持ち出すと、学者たちは嫌な顔をします
Oppositely, if ordinary people raise a foolish topic to talk about, scohlars would be unpleasant.立場の違う人たちが食事をすると、こう言う事になる事を、このお話しは教えています
This story tells us that if people in different positions from each other have meals together, they wouldn't enjoy.食事は気の合った仲間と、楽しく食べたいですね
