ヘルメスの軍とアラブ人
Hermes's truck and the Arabs
ある時ヘルメスは、１台の車に
One day, in Hermes's truck
うそやペテンやサギを満載して世界中をまわり、
there were full of lie, cheating and fraud,
各国に少しずつ分配していました。
together with this truck, he went around the world, and distributed those things to each country.
ところがアラブ人の国にさしかかった時、
But when he came to the Arab nation,
車が急に壊れてしまいました。
the truck suddenly stopped working.
するとアラブ人たちは、その積み荷が高価な品物であると勘違いして残らず盗むと、
Then the Arabs thought that the cargoes in the truck were really expensive and stole them all,
ヘルメスが他の国へ行けない様にしました。
which made it impossible for Hermes to go to other countries.
このお話しは、
This story wants to tell people that
「他のどの国民にもまして、アラブ人はうそつきでペテン師である。
"Arabs are supposedly to be liars and cheaters more than people from any other nations.
実際、彼らの舌は真実を語る事がない」と、いう説明で終わっています。
In fact, they do not tell the truth. ", someone explains.
アラブ人はイソップの生きていたギリシャ時代から商売上手の民族でしたから、
The Arabs have been traders and they've been really good at business since the ancient Greece period when there was Aesop,
それをねたんで、こんなお話しが生まれたのかもしれませんね。
It may be inferred that this story was proceeded from a kind of jealousy.
