英語小故事：狐假虎威

Once a fox met a hungry tiger。 The tiger opened his mouth and was about to eat the fox。

But the fox said， “My dear sir， I’m the King of the forest！ You cannot eat me！ Follow me， let’s walk together and I will show you。 If any animal sees me and does not fear me， then you may eat me。”

The tiger agreed， because he couldn’t believe a fox could be as powerful as himself。 The tiger followed the fox to the forest。 All the animals， when they saw the tiger in the distance， were all frightened and ran away。

Then the fox said： “How about it？ I was walking in the front， and I scared all the animals away。”

The tiger had not noticed that the animals were actually afraid of himself。 He was ashamed and said， “Yes， you are right。 I’m very sorry。 You are the King。”

老虎在山林裡捉到了一隻狐狸，要吃掉它。狐狸連忙說：“你不能吃我，我是天帝派來統治百獸的。你要吃了我，就違抗了天帝的命令。你不信，就跟我倒山林裡走一趟，看百獸見了我是不是都很害怕。”老虎相信了狐狸的話，就跟在狐狸的後面走進山林。

百獸見了果然都紛紛逃命。老虎以為百獸真的害怕狐狸而不知道是害怕自己，於是就把狐狸給放了。

這個成語用來比喻依仗別人的勢力去欺壓人或嚇唬人。
