A HEAVY WAGON was being dragged along a country lane by a team of Oxen. The Axle-trees groaned and creaked terribly; —
一辆沉重的马车被一队牛拉在乡间小道上。车轴发出可怕的呻吟声和嘎嘎声； —

whereupon the Oxen, turning round, thus addressed the wheels: —
于是牛转过头对车轮说道： —

“Hullo there! why do you make so much noise? —
“喂，你们为什么发出那么多噪音？ —

We bear all the labor, and we, not you, ought to cry out.”

Those who suffer most cry out the least.
那些受苦最多的人却最少声张。
