A CROW was jealous of the Raven, because he was considered a bird of good omen and always attracted the attention of men, who noted by his flight the good or evil course of future events. —
一只乌鸦嫉妒渡鸦，因为渡鸦被认为是一个善兆的鸟，并且总能吸引人们的注意，人们通过它的飞行来预测未来好坏的走势。 —

Seeing some travelers approaching, the Crow flew up into a tree, and perching herself on one of the branches, cawed as loudly as she could. —
看见一些旅行者走近，乌鸦飞到一棵树上，站在分枝上，尽可能地大声啼叫。 —

The travelers turned towards the sound and wondered what it foreboded, when one of them said to his companion, “Let us proceed on our journey, my friend, for it is only the caw of a crow, and her cry, you know, is no omen.”
旅行者们转向声音的方向，疑惑着它预示着什么，其中一个人对他的同伴说：“让我们继续我们的旅程吧，我的朋友，这只是一只乌鸦的啼声，你知道她的叫声不代表什么预兆。”
