14、百姓们回答说："郭氏由于喜爱善行善事。厌恶邪恶丑行而导致灭亡。"齐桓公不能理解这种回答，百姓们便解释说："郭氏虽然喜爱善行善事，但从来都不能做到；尽管厌恶邪恶丑行，却总是忍不住参与其中。这就是他的都城变成废墟的原因。"7. 老鼠和公牛Amouseoncetookabiteoutofabull'stailashelaydozing.Thebulljumpedupinarageand,withhisheadlowtotheground,chasedthemouserightacrosstheyard.Themousewastooquickforhim

21、（不是所有将你从牛粪里拉出来的人都是你的朋友）3）在你还没有完全摆脱困境时,别得意忘形。（当你还没有从粪堆里出来时,把嘴闭上）二、Anox,grazinginaswampymeadow,chancedtosethisfootamongaparcelofyoungfrogs,andcrushednearlythewholebroodtodeath.Onethatescapedranofftohismotherwiththedreadfulnews."and,oh,mother!"saidhe,"itwasabeast-suchabigfourfootedbeast!
