夢(mèng)想不能出售

Jehdi and Hassan were two merchants who were very close friends. Jehdi was a cheerful person, whereas Hassan was very serious, perhaps too cautious and careful. But an unbreakable bond of friendship tied them together and this made their journey in business a happy one, for they never had any disputes.

杰迪和哈桑都是生意人，同時(shí)也是非常親密的朋友。杰迪性情豪爽，而哈桑嚴(yán)肅認(rèn)真，甚至有些過(guò)于謹(jǐn)小慎微。但堅(jiān)不可摧的友誼將他們緊緊聯(lián)系在一起，兩人從來(lái)沒(méi)有發(fā)生過(guò)爭(zhēng)執(zhí)，這讓他們?cè)谏鈭?chǎng)上一帆風(fēng)順。

One time they started together toward the city of Touria.

一次，兩人結(jié)伴前去陶里亞城。

They arrived at the outskirts of a forest where the big trees, moist rocks and cool shade invited them to take a well-deserved rest. Within a minute Jehdi fell asleep.

他們到達(dá)一片森林的邊緣，這里巨木參天，山石濕潤(rùn)，樹(shù)蔭清涼，讓他們不禁想好好地歇息一陣。不到一分鐘，杰迪便酣然入睡了。

Hassan looked at his friend with a sigh and told himself, "He sleeps peacefully in nature as if he were in his own house. I am afraid of someone robbing me. Even though the thief might get very little, I am too apprehensive and I prefer to be cautious. After all, one never knows what might happen."

哈桑望著他的朋友，嘆了口氣，自語(yǔ)道：“在荒郊野外他竟然能睡得這樣安穩(wěn)，就像在自己家一樣。我就會(huì)擔(dān)心有人搶劫。雖然強(qiáng)盜搶不走什么值錢(qián)的東西，可我心里卻惴惴不安，還是小心為妙。畢竟，誰(shuí)知道會(huì)有什么事情發(fā)生呢？”

Hassan was ruminating over his anxiety when suddenly he saw a wasp coming out of Jehdi's left nostril. Its enigmatic dance surprised him. It flew toward a single pine tree standing on a rock, circled the tree three times, and then returned to the sleeping Jehdi and disappeared into his right nostril.

哈桑正憂心忡忡地胡思亂想，突然看到一只黃蜂從杰迪的左鼻孔里爬了出來(lái)。黃蜂跳起神秘的舞蹈，讓哈桑驚訝不已。接著，黃蜂朝生長(zhǎng)在巖石上的一棵松樹(shù)飛去，繞樹(shù)三圈，又飛回酣睡中的杰迪身邊，消失在他的右鼻孔里。

Just at that moment Jehdi woke up, sat up laughing, and said, "Hassan, you will never believe me. I just had a marvelous dream. Just imagine that there is a big pine tree standing on a high rock, exactly like the one you see there. A wasp droned around the trunk and it swings buzzed as if to say, 'You must dig in this place! You must dig in this place!' I started digging and found a big pot full of gold coins. I have never in my life seen so much money!"

就在那時(shí)，杰迪醒了。他坐起身，笑著說(shuō)：“哈桑，你肯定不會(huì)相信，我剛剛做了一個(gè)不可思議的夢(mèng)。設(shè)想一下，在高高的巖石上生長(zhǎng)著一棵巨大的松樹(shù)。你看，就和那邊的那棵松樹(shù)一模一樣。一只黃蜂繞著樹(shù)干飛了幾圈，振動(dòng)著翅膀嗡嗡作響，好像在說(shuō)：‘你一定要在這里挖一挖！你一定要在這里挖一挖！’于是我開(kāi)始挖起來(lái)，結(jié)果挖到了一個(gè)裝滿金幣的罐子。我這一生還從來(lái)沒(méi)有見(jiàn)過(guò)那么多的錢(qián)！”

Yes, truly it is a strange dream, replied Hassan. "If I were in your place, I would have dug around the pine tree there."

“哦，真是一個(gè)奇怪的夢(mèng)，”哈桑答道，“如果是我做了這樣的夢(mèng)，我就去那松樹(shù)周圍挖一挖。”

My poor friend, how naive you are. I would never take a dream seriously. It is so hot here. To dig would be torture! Please, let us continue our journey ...

“我可憐的朋友，你未免也太天真了吧！我從來(lái)都不把夢(mèng)當(dāng)回事。這兒這么悶熱，要去挖地的話，簡(jiǎn)直就是自找罪受。拜托，我們還是繼續(xù)趕路吧……”

But Hassan insisted, "Jehdi, a dream like this surely has a meaning. If you do not want to dig, I will try instead. Do you know what I propose to you? Sell your dream to me."

但哈桑堅(jiān)持說(shuō)：“杰迪，這樣的一個(gè)夢(mèng)肯定含有某種暗示。如果你不想挖，我倒想試一試。你明白我的意思嗎？把你的夢(mèng)賣給我吧?！?/p>
