【每日英语故事9月17日】——恋爱中的狮子 father, possibly, beautiful, 每日英语, lion

jane019

　A lion once fell in love with a beautiful girl, so he went to her parents and asked them to marry her to him.   

　　The old parents did not know what to say.

　　They did not like the idea of giving their daughter to the lion, but they did not want to enrage the king of beasts.

　　At last the father said, "We are glad to marry our daughter to you, but we fear that you might possibly hurt her. So if you remove your claws and teeth, we will give her to you."

　　The lion loved the girl very much, so he trimmed his claws and took out his big teeth. When he came to the parents again, they simply laughed in his face, and beat him out of their house.

    他们不愿意女儿嫁给狮子，加上狮子的爪牙已除，就把他赶走了。

只是个寓言故事，不知看了解释后是否明白些。

Love is blind

我觉得狮子很傻很天真啊，爱情让人失去理智啊

love is a double-edge sword， it make us feel happy， but it also make us become stupid. As a lion, never forget that claws and teeth are your only bargaining  chip to strive for happiness

寓意是？

失去了牙齿和利爪的狮子已经不能算是狮子了。陷入爱情也不能改变自己，否则将会一无所有。
beat him out of their house. 把他赶了出去。
