　　：網開三面

　　Leaving the Net Open on Three Sides

　　One day, King Tang, the founder of the Shang Dynasty, sawa man arranging a net on all sides and praying to the deity:

　　一天，商朝開國君主湯看見一個人四面佈下了天羅地網，正在向神禱告:

　　"Let those that fly down from the sky, those that come out of the ground, and those that come running from all directions all run into my net!"

　　“從天上飛下來的，從地下鑽出來的，從四面八方跑過來的，都撞到我的網裡來吧!”

　　Tang said:

　　湯說:

　　"Well, isn't this catching the whole lot in one net?"

　　“咦!這不是一網打盡了嗎?”

　　Tang went forward and took away the net on three sides, leaving only one side there. Then he said to the man:

　　湯上前收掉了三面的網，只留下一面的網。然後，他對那人說:

　　"Now please pray again! You can say thus: In the past, the spiders have spun nets. Now people have learned to make nets too. You birds and animals, those that want to turn left can go to the left; those that want to turn right can go to the right; those that want to fly can soar; those that want to get into holes can get into holes. I only catch those that are doomed to die."

　　“請你重新禱告吧!你可以這樣說:過去，蜘蛛織出了網，現在人們也學會了織網。你們這些鳥獸，想往左邊的就往左走開;想往右邊的就往右走開;想高飛的就高飛;想鑽洞的就鑽洞;我僅僅捕捉那些命裡註定要死的。”

　　The much-told tale of King Tang's leaving the net open on three sides spread far and wide at once. When the people of the states south of the Han River heard of it, they all said:

　　商湯網開三面的佳話，一下子傳開了。漢水以南各國知道後，都說:

　　"King Tang of Shang bestows favour even upon birds and animals. He is so lenient that he is truly a benevolent man."

　　“商湯對禽獸也這樣恩賜，這樣寬恕，真是個仁慈的人。”

　　Thereupon, all the 40 small states of the time had a heartfelt admiration for Tang and pledged their allegiance to the Shang Dynasty.

　　於是，當時的四十個小國家都心悅誠服地歸順了商湯。

　　：因噎廢食

　　Giving Up Eating for Fear of Choking

　　In the past, there was a man who had a large appetite. When he ate, he devoured ravenously.

　　從前，有個人飯量很大，吃起飯來，狼吞虎嚥。

　　Once he wasn't careful enough so that a fishbone got stuck in his throat. The food was blocked in his esophagus, and he could neither swallow nor vomit. So he called a physician, but the physician could do nothing. The people around looked at him in anxiety. Finally, as he couldn't breathe, he died of choking.

　　一次，他不留神，骨頭硬在喉嚨裡，食物被堵塞在食道里，想咽咽不下，想吐吐不出。於是，他請來醫生，醫生也沒有辦法。周圍的人看著他，乾著急。最後，他因透不過氣來而活活噎死了。

　　Afterwards, someone went so far as to issue a ban: Eating is forbidden as from today for the reason that no one will be choked to death if people give up eating.

　　事後，有人居然下了一道禁令:從今天起，天下禁止吃飯。理由是:不吃飯，就不會噎死人。

　　：少女遇盜

　　A Young Girl Encounters a Bandit

　　Once upon a time, there was a young girl wearing a strand of precious pearls around her neck and a jade loop around her waist, and carrying a great deal of gold with her.

　　古時候，有位少女，脖子上掛著寶珠，腰間佩著玉環，身上帶著許多金子。

　　One day, while walking in the hills, she encountered a bandit and was very much frightened.

　　一天，她在山裡行走，突然遇到一個強盜，心裡非常害怕。

　　When the bandit saw the gold, silver and other treasures, an evil thought occurred to him. Holding a weapon in his hand, he intended to rob her. The young girl was scared out of her wits. Trembling all over and not daring to look at him squarely in the face, she quickly bent and knelt down before the bandit, begging

　　him piteously, and saying that she was even willing to marry him to be his concubine.

　　那個強盜看到金銀財寶，頓時產生了罪惡的念頭，手持凶器，準備搶劫。少女嚇得魂不附體，渾身發抖，不敢正面看他，急忙彎下腰來，跪在強盜面前，苦苦哀求，並且表示願意嫁給強盜，做他的小老婆。

　　Yet, the atrocious bandit still killed her in the end.

　　但是，窮凶極惡的強盜，最後還是把她殺了。

　　It is thus clear that one should never expect mercy from a bandit.

　　可見，不能指望強盜會發善心。
