The Man and the Monkey
人与猴子
While flying over a jungle, a wealthy executive's private plane crashed.
在飞越丛林时，一位富有高管的私人飞机坠毁了。
Some of the crew were hurt, so the pilot decided to stay with them and wait for help.
一些机组人员受伤，所以飞行员决定留在他们身边等待救援。
The arrogant executive, though, didn't care about the welfare of the pilot and crew.
然而，这位傲慢的高管并不关心飞行员和机组人员的福祉。
Rather, he thought he could walk out of the jungle and find a town to stay in.
相反，他认为他可以走出丛林，找到一个可以居住的城镇。
He followed a trail through a canyon and along a creek. The jungle was actually very stunning.
他沿着一条小路穿过峡谷，沿着一条小溪。丛林实际上非常令人惊叹。
If the arrogant executive had stopped to look around, he might have perceived the jungles beauty.
如果这位傲慢的高管停下来环顾四周，他可能会发现丛林的美丽。
But he was in a nasty mood and had no care for the aesthetic value of the jungle.
但他心情不好，不在乎丛林的美学价值。
He continued to walk up the steep incline of the jungles hills. Soon, he was lost.
他继续沿着丛林山丘的陡坡向上走。很快，他就迷路了。
Several days passed, and fatigue and hunger weakened him. He was very tired and afraid. Just then, a monkey came out of the trees.
几天过去了，疲劳和饥饿使他虚弱不堪。他非常疲惫和害怕。就在这时，一只猴子从树上走了出来。
It was carrying a twig covered in honey. It walked up to a mound where termites lived.
它叼着一根沾满蜂蜜的树枝。它走到一个白蚁居住的土丘上。
He then used the twig like a drill to make a hole in the mound.
然后它用树枝像钻头一样在土丘上钻了一个洞。
Then very carefully, it removed the twig from the hole. The sticky twig was covered with termites.
然后它非常小心地把树枝从洞里拔出来。黏糊糊的树枝上爬满了白蚁。
Instead of eating the bugs, the monkey offered them to the executive, but he didn't want what the monkey offered.
猴子没有吃虫子，而是把它们给了高管，但他不想要猴子给的东西。
He shouted at the monkey, "Get away from me, you stupid primate!"
他对猴子大喊：“离我远点，你这个愚蠢的灵长类动物！”
The executive's stereotype of the monkey was wrong. The monkey was not stupid.
高管对猴子的刻板印象是错误的。猴子并不笨。
It knew how to find food, whereas the executive did not. He refused the help of the monkey, thereby leaving himself to starve.
它知道如何寻找食物，而高管却不知道。他拒绝了猴子的帮助，结果自己饿死了。
When the executive was finally found, he was very skinny and sick. He had not eaten for a very long time.
当高管终于被找到时，他瘦骨嶙峋，病恹恹的。他已经很久没有吃东西了。
Because he held a bias against the primitive ways of the monkey, he had gone hungry and almost died.
因为他对猴子的原始生活方式有偏见，他差点饿死。
The executive didn't understand that it was his arrogant attitude that had caused all of his problems.
高管不明白，正是他傲慢的态度导致了他所有的问题。
