英语故事短文：A bundle of sticks
A man once had four sons who never stopped quarrelling with one another. He was always telling them how much easier life would be if they worked together but they took absolutely no notice of him. One day he decided to show them what he meant.
一个男人曾经有四个儿子，他们总是吵架。他总是告诉他们，如果他们一起工作，生活会轻松多了，但他们完全没有注意到他。有一天，他决定向他们展示他的意思。
He called all the sons together and put a tightly tied bundle of sticks on the floor in front of them.
他把所有的儿子都叫到一起，把一捆捆紧的棍子放在他们面前的地板上。
"Can you break that ? " he asked the youngest son. The boy put his knee on the bundle but though he pressed and pulled with his arms he could not bend the wood.
“你能打破它吗？”他问小儿子。那男孩把膝盖放在捆上，但尽管他用胳膊使劲拉，他还是不能弯曲木头。
The father asked each son in turn to try to break the bundle, but none of them could do it . Then he untied the string and scattered the sticks.
父亲让每个儿子轮流试着打破这个包裹，但他们都做不到。然后他解开绳子，把树枝散开。
" Now try, " he said . The boys broke the sticks easily in their hands.
“现在试试吧，”他说。孩子们很容易把手中的棍子折断。
"Do you see what I mean ?" asked the father. "if only you stand together no one can hurt you . If you all disagree the whole time and insist on going your separate ways, the first enemy you meet will be able to destroy you. " United we stand divided we fall.
“你明白我的意思吗？”父亲问道。”只要你们站在一起就没有人能伤害你。如果你们一直不同意，坚持分道扬镳，你遇到的第一个敌人就可以摧毁你。”团结我们站在一起，分裂我们就会失败。
