Lao Tzu

【跟屁虫】指的是喜欢跟着他人，粘着他人做一样事情的人。　
（对话）：“从那天起，这个叫赵永远的小男孩总是跟着我，我烦死了这个脏兮兮的跟屁虫，心想这辈子都不会理他，但没想到，我们平生第一次对话，竟是我先开口的。”

【gēnpìchóng】 zhǐ de shì xǐhuān gēnzhe tārén, niánzhe tārén zuò yíyàng shìqíng de rén. 
(Lùyīn lǐ de táicí):“Cóng nèi tiān qǐ, zhège jiào zhào yǒngyuǎn de xiǎo nánhái zǒng shì gēnzhe wǒ, wǒ fán sǐle zhège zāng xī xī de gēnpìchóng, xīn xiǎng zhè bèizi dōu bù huì lǐ tā, dàn méi xiǎngdào, wǒmen píngshēng dì yī cì duìhuà, jìng shì wǒ xiān kāikǒu de.”


【Copycat】 refers to people who like to follow others and stick to others to do the same thing. ​​
(dialogue): "From that day on, this little boy named Zhao Yongyou always followed me. I was so annoyed by this dirty follower, I thought I would ignore him for the rest of my life. For the first time in my life, I actually spoke first."

La volpe e l’uva è una favola famosissima, che può dare un insegnamento molto importante: non bisogna disprezzare qualcosa solo perché non lo si può ottenere, come fanno le persone che non ammettono di non riuscire a fare qualcosa.

Questa favola breve scritta in origine da Esopo è arrivata a noi grazie anche a Fedro e a mille versioni successive, questa è la mia versione.
