a wild
1, who was wandering idly about, one day came upon a pack-ass lying at full length in a sunny spot and
2 enjoying himself. going up to him, he said, "what a lucky beast you are! your
3 coat shows how well you live. how i envy you!" not long after the wild ass saw his acquaintance again, but this time he was carrying a heavy load, and his driver was following behind and beating him with a thick stick. "ah, my friend," said the wild ass, "i don't envy you any more, for i see you pay dear for your comforts."
advantages that are dearly bought are doubtful
4.
有一天，一头无所事事的野驴，看见一头家驴正舒适地躺在阳光充足的地方自娱自乐。他走了过去，说：“你可真幸运呀！从你那光滑的皮肤就能看出来，你的日子过得很舒服呀，我真羡慕你！”不久，野驴又看见家驴驮着沉重的货物，驴夫还跟在后面不停地用鞭子抽打他，这一次，野驴说：“我的朋友，我不再羡慕你了，因为我知道你付出了惨痛的代价。”
用昂贵代价换来的优势是令人怀疑的服气。
