The Quack Toad
庸醫蟾蜍
by Aesop
出自《伊索寓言》
An old Toad once informed all his neighbors that he was a learned doctor. In fact he could cure anything. The Fox heard the news and hurried to see the Toad. He looked the Toad over very carefully.
從前,有一隻老蟾蜍,對自己的鄰居宣稱自己是個學富五車的醫生,事實上,沒有什麼病是他所不能治癒的。狐狸聽到這個消息後,就急匆匆地趕來找蟾蜍看病。他仔仔細細地看了看蟾蜍。
"Mr. Toad," he said, "I've been told that you cure anything! But just take a look at yourself, and then try some of your own medicine. If you can cure yourself of that blotchy skin and that rheumatic gait, someone might believe you. Otherwise, I should advise you to try some other profession."
“蟾蜍先生,”狐狸說,“聽說你能包治百病!不過,請你先給自己看看病吧,然後就給你自己開個方子。如果你能夠治好你滿身疤痕和風溼步法,可能會有人相信你的。不然的話,我勸你還是另選職業吧。
Those who would mend others, should first mend themselves.
Physician, heal thyself.
寓言:
正人先正己
醫生要醫己。
