从前有一个丢失斧子的人,怀疑是邻居的儿子偷了斧子。看到他走路,像偷斧子的样子;看他的脸色,像偷斧子的样子;听到他讲话,也像偷斧子的样子。总之,他的动作态度,没有一样不像偷斧子的样子。后来他在挖掘山沟的时候,找到了斧子。过了几天,再看邻居的儿子,他的动作态度都不像偷斧子的样子了。
Hi. Welcome to Dict.cn. This is Nisha. And today we will learn a new article, "In the Eyes of the Beholder".
A man who lost his axe suspected his neighbor’s son of stealing it. To him, as he observed the boy, the way he lad walked, the expression on his face, the manner of his speech-in fact everything about his appearance and behavior betrayed that he had stolen the axe.
Not long afterwards the man found his axe while digging in his cellar. When he saw his neighbor’s son again, nothing about the boy’s behavior nor appearance seemed to suggest that he had stolen the axe.
