犬が A DOG, 小川にかかる橋を渡っていました crossing a bridge over a
stream 肉片を口にくわえてですが with a piece
of flesh in his mouth, 水に映った自分の影をみて saw
his own shadow in the water それを他の犬の姿と思いました
and took it for that of another Dog,
自分の２倍の大きさの肉をくわえているように見えたのです with a piece of
meat double his own in size.
犬はすぐさま He immediately 自分の肉をほおり出し let
go of his own, もう一匹の犬に向かって猛攻撃しました and
fiercely attacked the other Dog
その大きな肉片を得るために to get his larger piece from
him. こうして犬は両方とも失なってしまったのです He thus
lost both: つまり一つは犬が水の中につかもうとしたもの that
which he grasped at in the water, それは影でしたし
because it was a shadow; そして自分のもです and
his own, それは川が流してしまいましたから because
the stream swept it away.
