Excerpt from Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare.

If thou

wert the lion, the fox would beguile thee; if thou wert the lamb, the fox would eat thee; if thou wert the fox the lion would suspect thee, when peradventure thou wert accused by the [donkey]: if thou wert the [donkey], thy dullness would torment thee, and still thou livedst but as breakfast to the wolf; if thou wert the wolf, thy greediness would afflict thee, and often thou shouldst hazard thy life for thy dinner; wert thou the unicorn, pride and wrath would confound thee and make thine own self the conquest of thy fury; wert thou a bear, though wouldst be killed by the horse; wert thou a horse, thou wouldst be seized by the leopard... What beast couldst thou be, that were not subject to a beast?

    It’s a little bit difficult to understand ‘cause of the archaic therms, but it’s great deal to think about

    Hi! If you have some time, would you please fill out my survey and ask any native English speaking friends who study Chinese to do the same. It's for my graduation thesis. The survey only has 23 questions and will take only 5-10 minutes. All your answers are anonymous. Thank you very much for your time and effort, it is of great value to me. https://www.wjx.cn/m/36230395.aspx?from=singlemessage&isappinstalled=0

    اگه ی شیر بودی, روباه فریبت میداد;اگه ی گوسفند بودی,روباه میخوردت;اگه ی روباه بودی شیر بهت مشکوک می شد,اگه اتفاقی می افتاد توسط [الاغ] متهم می شدی:اگه ی [الاغ] بودی,حماقت ازارت میداد,و هنوز زنده بودی اما عنوان صبحانه یک گرگ; اگه ی گرگ بودی, از حرص(پر خوری) عذاب می کشیدی, و اغلب اوقات باید زندگیت رو برای وعده شام در خطر می انداختی;اگه ی اسب تک شاخ بودی غرور و خشم عاجز و پریشانت میکرد و خودستایی بر خشمت غلبه میکرد;اگه ی خرس بودی توسط ی اسب کشته میشدی; اگه ی اسب بودی, توسط ی پلنگ شکار می شدی..... چه جانوری میتونستی باشی که طعمه جانور دیگری نمیشیدی؟
