Aesops Fables (Selections) 一黑仆人 有人买了个黑仆，听说他皮肤之所以黑，都因以前的主人没注意卫生， 才弄得他满身污垢，乌黑乌黑的。主人信以为真，一到家，就用各种清洁方 法，不停地给他洗刷。仆人冻得患了重感冒，但他的身上或脸色却丝毫没有 变白。 黑的变不成白的，本色无法更改。 I The Aethiop The purchaser of a black servant was persuaded 2 that the color of his skin arose from dirt contracted through the neglect of his former masters.On bringing him home he resorted to every means of cleaning,and subjected the man to incessant scrubbings.The servant caught a severe cold,but he never changed his color or complexion.
