雙語美文：獨眼鹿

　　One-eyed Doe 獨眼鹿

　　A one-eyed doe was grazing near the river. She kept her one eye on the land to watch out for hunters. She kept the other side of her face towards the river because she never saw hunters coming from the river. However, she didn’t see the boat on the river with sailors in it. When they got close enough, one of them shot her with his rifle. She lay there dying, and with her last few breaths, said, “My God! I expected an attack from land, but it turns out I was safe from that. I took the river for granted, so I didn’t watch it. My enemy came from the one place I least expected!”

　　MORAL: Danger often comes from a source that is least expected.

　　—based on a story from “Aesop’s Fables”

　　一只獨眼母鹿正在河邊吃草。她用一只眼睛對著陸地，注意看有沒有獵人。她臉的另一側眼睛則對著河流，因為她從未見獵人從河里出現。可是她沒有看到河上載著水手的船。當水手們靠近她時，其中一人射殺了她。她躺在那兒奄奄一息。用僅存的幾口氣說道：“天哪!我以為攻擊會來自陸上，結果我卻毫發無損。我以為河流這邊一定安全，所以我沒有注意。我的敵人居然來自最出乎我意料的`地方!”

　　寓意：最安全的地方往往是最危險的地方。
