The oxen and the axletrees
A pair of Oxen were drawing a heavily loaded wagon along the highway, and, as they tugged and strained at the yoke, the Axletrees creaked and groaned terribly. This was too much for the Oxen, who turned round indignantly and said, “Hullo, you there! Why do you make such a noise when we do all the work?”
They complain most who suffer least.
【译文】
公牛和车轴
几头公牛正用劲拉着超重的货车在大路上行走,当他们用劲拖拉货车和牛轭时,车轴被压得吱吱作响。牛有点不耐烦了,回过头对车轴说道:“喂,朋友,我们正在努力地干活,你叫唤什么?”
寓意:没受什么苦难的人往往最爱抱怨。
