夏天的夏的回答:

原文 黔无驴,有好事者,船载以入;至则无可用,放之山下。虎见之,庞然大物也,以为神。蔽林间窥之,稍出近之,憫然,莫相知。他日,驴一鸣,虎大骇,远遁,以为且噬已也,甚恐!然往来视之,觉无异能者,益习其声,又近出前后,终不敢搏。稍近益狎,荡倚冲冒。驴不胜怒,蹄之。虎因喜,计之曰:“技止此耳!”因跳踉大阚,断其喉,尽其肉,乃去。噫!形之庞也,类有德;声;之宏也,类有能。向不出其技,虎虽猛,疑畏卒不敢取,今若是焉,悲夫! 翻译 黔地这个地方本来没有驴,有一个喜好多事的人用船运载了一头驴进入黔地。运到后却没有什么用处,便把它放置在山下。老虎见到它,一看是个巨大的动物,就把它当作了神奇的东西。于是藏在树林中偷偷看它。老虎渐渐地走出来接近它,小心谨慎的样子,不知道它是什么东西。 一天,驴一声长鸣,老虎非常害怕,远远地逃走;认为驴将要来咬自己,非常恐惧。然而老虎来来往往地观察它,觉得驴好像没有什么特殊的本领似的;渐渐地熟悉了它的叫声,又靠近它前前后后地走动,但老虎始终不敢和驴搏击。慢慢地,老虎又靠近了驴,态度亲近而不庄重,碰碰、靠靠、冲击冒犯它。驴子禁不住恼怒了,用蹄子踢老虎。老虎因此而欣喜,盘算此事道:“(驴的)本领只不过如此罢了!”于是跳跃起来,大声吼叫,咬断驴的喉咙,吃完了它的肉,才离开。

After shipment, it was realized that the donkey has no use there. So the donkey was left under a foothill. A tigers saw the animal and since its size was huge, thought that the donkey must be something magical. The tiger hid in the jungle and began to peek at the donkey. The tiger gradually came out from the jungle to take a close, careful look at the animal. But the tiger still could not understand what animal that donkey is....
