原文：A Fox,just at the time of the vintage,stole into a vine-yard where the ripe sunny Grapes were trellised up on high in most tempting show.He made many a spring and a jump after the luscious prize,but,failing in all his attempts,he muttered as he retreated："Well what does it matter!The Grapes are sour!"
譯文：正當(dāng)葡萄熟了的時(shí)候,一只狐貍偷偷地溜進(jìn)了葡萄園.葡萄架上高高地掛著亮晶晶的、熟透了的葡萄,顯得十分誘人.他跳了好幾跳,蹦了好幾蹦,想吃到這甘美的葡萄,但是他的企圖全落空了,走開的時(shí)候,他自言自語說："得了!這有什么!這葡萄是酸的."
