The Father and His Sons / 父亲和孩子们

Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among
themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he
determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for
this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they
had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in
succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all
their strength, and were not able to do it.

一位父亲有几个孩子，这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们，只
好让 他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的，有一天他叫他们替
他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴 带来时，他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手
中，吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试，总是 不能成功。

He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and
again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then
addressed them in these words:
assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of
your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as
easily as these sticks.

然后他解开那捆柴，一根根地放在他们手里，如此一来，他们 便毫不费力地折断
了。于是他就告诉他们说：「孩子们！如果你们大家团结一致，互相帮助，你们
就像这捆柴一样，不能被你们的敌人折断；但如果你们自行分裂，你们就将和这
些散柴一般，不堪一折 了。」
