牧人在树林中放牛,不幸丢失了一头离群的小牛犊。他在树林中到处寻找,一无所获。他发誓,只要能发现偷小牛犊的贼,他愿意供奉树林守护神一只羊。过了一会儿,当他走上小山丘时,忽然看见山下有只狮子正在吃他的小牛犊。他吓得举起双手,仰望着天空,向天祈求说:我刚发誓,如果捉到偷牛犊的贼,我愿供奉一只羊给树林守护神。现在那贼已发现,我愿意失去那只小牛犊,并再添上一只大牛,只要我自己能安全逃离狮子。
This is to say: Some people are scared of the strong enemy so that they forget the oath.
这是说,有些人在强大的敌人面前吓破了胆,忘掉了自己的誓言。
