The fox who had lost his tail的故事的寓意是什么?
A fox caught in a trap escaped,but in so doing lost his tail.thereafter,feeling his life a burden from the shame and ridicule to which he was exposed,he schemed to convince all the other foxes that being tailless was much more attractive,thus making up for his own deprivation.He assembled a good many foxes and publicly advised them to cut off their tails,saying that they would not only look much better without them,but that they would get rid of the weight of the brush,which was a very great inconvenience.One of them interrupting him said,"If you had not yourself lost your tail,my friend,you would not thus counsel us."
这个故事的寓意是什么?
这则故事适用于那样的人,他们给予他们亲近的人提劝告不是出于善意,而是为了私利.有些人自己做了错事,希望别人也犯同样的错,自己受到惩罚,也希望别人受到惩罚……这样才显得自己不比别人差或者不如别人,这样才显得大家一样,也不至于因为某一个人的“鹤立鸡群”而显得突兀,不至于觉得自卑.大抵人都是这样,或者可以说成是以己律人.

在语言中,狐狸因为失去尾巴,所以这就成为了他的弱点,so feel shame and ridicule,因为他失去了他的利益,因此他也希望别人都能失去,来谋取利益的平衡.
看看当下那些鼓吹知识无用论的人、那些叫嚣着改革的人,他们是什么人呢?
因为他们属于失去利益者,是那断尾的狐狸,因此必然要尝试去换一种方式来谋取自己的利益.
