THE SWALLOW and the Crow had a contention about their plumage. The Crow put an end to the dispute by saying, "Your feathers are all very well in the spring, but mine protect me against the winter."
Fair weather friends are not worth much.
燕子與烏鴉燕子與烏鴉爭(zhēng)吵誰最美麗。烏鴉對(duì)燕子說:“春天才能看到你美麗的外貌,我的身體卻可以抵御冬季的嚴(yán)寒。”
這是說,健康的身體是最漂亮的外貌。
