試譯一則寓言(摘自網絡)

在一個暴風雨的晚上, 你開著一輛車, 經過一個車站。有三個人正在焦急的等著公共汽車:一個是臨死的老人,他需要馬上去醫院。一個是醫生,他曾救過你的命,你做夢都想報答他。第三個是你的夢中情人,錯過了這個機會,你可能永遠都遇不到一個讓你這麽心動的人了。


In a dark and stormy night, you drove a vehicle passing a bus stop where three persons were waiting in anxiety: a dying old man, a doctor who had saved your life once and you dreamed of paying him back what you owed him.  The third one was your dream lover; if you missed the chance of tonight, most likely you would never meet the girl who had pulled at your heartstrings so deeply. 

 

但是,你的車只能再坐下一個人,你會如何選擇?


However, your vehicle could allow only one more passenger, what would be your choice?


在200個應徵者中,只有一個人被聘用了,他並沒有解釋他的理由,他只說了以下的話:「把車鑰匙交給醫生,讓他帶著老人去醫院,而我則留下來陪我的夢中情人一起等公共汽車。」


Among two hundred applicants, there is only one qualified to be hired. He did not give much explanation but only the words what he was saying, "Give the car key to the doctor, and let him take the old man to hospital.  I will stay put and accompany my dream lover waiting for the bus together."  


《故事寓意》:


The overtone of this fable:


是否因為我們從未想過要放棄我們手中已經擁有的優勢(車鑰匙)?

有時,如果我們能放棄一些我們的固執、狹隘和優勢的話,我們可能會得到更多。


Have we never thought of giving up our existing advantage(s) in hands (car key)?  Sometimes, should we get rid of a little obstinacy, narrowness, and advantage from our minds, probably we will obtain more than we do otherwise.
