故事是说：熟悉衍生蔑视

When first the Fox saw the Lion he was terribly frightened,

dāng hú lí dì yī cì kàn dào shī zǐ shí ，tā xià huài le ，

and ran away and hid himself in the wood.  

lì kè táo dào sēn lín lǐ duǒ le qǐ lái 。

Next time however he came near the King 

dì èr cì ， tā pèng dào zhè gè wàn shòu zhī wáng shí ，

of Beasts he stopped at a safe distance and watched him pass by.

tā tíng zài yī gè ān quán dì fāng yuǎn yuǎn de kàn zhe shī zǐ jīng guò。

The third time they came near one another

dāng hú lí hé shī zǐ dì sān cì xiāng yù ，

the Fox went straight up to the Lion and passed the time of day with him,  

hú lí zhí jiē zǒu dào shī zǐ gēn qián xiàng tā dǎ zhāo hū ，

asking him how his family were, and when he should have the pleasure of seeing him again;

hái wèn hòu shī zǐ de jiā rén bìng biǎo shì hěn gāo xīng zài kàn dào tā 。

then turning his tail,

ér hòu ， hú lí zhuǎn guò shēn qù ，

he parted from the Lion without much ceremony.

méi yǒu gēn shī zǐ dào bié jiù dà yáo dà bǎi de zǒu le 。 

Familiarity breeds contempt.
