22年四级翻译真题：从前有个人养了一群羊, 他准备出去放羊,发现少了一只。他仔细一看，看到羊栏(sheepfold)上有个窟窿。显然夜间有狼钻进羊圈叼走了羊。邻居劝他修羊栏，可是他不听。第二天他发现狼又通过窟窿叼走一只羊。他想起邻居的话，就赶快堵上窟窿,把羊栏补好。此后，他的羊再也没有被狼叼走，故事告诉我们：出了问题及时补救，可以防止蒙受更大损失。

翻译：There was once a man who had a flock of sheep. He was going out to look after them when he found that one of them was missing. He looked carefully and saw a hole in the sheepfold. Apparently a Wolf got into the fold during the night and carried off the sheep. His neighbour tried to persuade him to mend the sheep stall, but he would not listen. The next day he found that the Wolf had carried off another sheep through a hole. Remembering what his neighbor had said, he quickly plugged up the hole and mended the sheep pen. Since then, his sheep was never carried away by the Wolf. The story tells us: If something goes wrong, it can be remedied in time to prevent further losses。
