無賴和圣人的寓言故事

　　【無賴和圣人的寓言故事】

　　一個狡猾的人下賭1注，他能讓德爾斐（希臘古都）的圣人用錯誤的回答來證明自己不值得信賴。于是，到了約定好的那一天，他來到了廟里，手里拿著一只小麻雀，并將它藏在外衣里面。他問圣人自己手中拿著的東西是活的還是死的。如果圣人說“是死的”，他便把活著的麻雀拿出來;如果圣人說“是活的”，他就捏死麻雀，然后再將死的拿出來。可是，圣人遠比他更高明，說道：“陌生人，不管你手里的東西是死是活，完全取決于你自己的意愿！”

　　THE ROGUE AND THE ORACLE

　　A Rogue laid a wager that he would prove the oracle at Delphi to be untrustworthy by procuring from it a false reply to an inquiry by himself.So he went to the temple on the appointed day with a small bird in his hand，which he concealed under the folds of his cloak，and asked whether what he held in his hand were alive or dead.If the oracle said “dead.”he meant to produce the bird alive：if the reply was“alive.”he intended to wring its neck and show it to be dead.But the oracle was one too many for him，for the answer he got was this：“Stranger,whether the thing that you hold in your hand be alive or dead is a matter that depends entirely on your own will.”
