马槽中的狗:The Dog in the Manger

A DOG lay in a manger, and by his growling and snapping
prevented the oxen from eating the hay which had been placed for
them.
"What a selfish Dog!" said one of them to his companions; "he
cannot eat the hay himself, and yet refuses to allow those to eat
who can."

一条狗躺在马槽中,不停地叫,不让牛吃干草。一头牛对同伴说:“这条狗太自私了! 他自己不会吃干草,还不让会吃的去吃。”
这故事是说那些总是不愿别人得到好处的人。

注:Manger确实是马槽的意思,不过文章中的oxen又是牛的意思,真是牛头不对马嘴:)不过大体的意思是不会错的,嘿嘿
