動物農莊

昨天買到一本書,是中英對照的<動物農莊>,多年前我已經讀過,今天重讀,還是覺得很好看。書中有七戒,抄下來和大家分享:

The Seven Commandments

  1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
  2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
  3. No animal shall wear clothes.
  4. No animal shall sleep in a bed.
  5. No animal shall drink alcohol.
  6. No animal shall kill any other animal.
  7. All animals are equal.

Four Legs Good, Two Legs Bad


人類的罪惡:
Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.

很好的一本書,不看是閣下的損失。
