寓言故事中英文版–刻舟求剑

【大纪元5月26日讯】

有个人乘船渡江时,不慎把宝剑掉进水里。

他马上在船边剑掉下去的地方刻了个记号,并指着记号说:“有了这个记号,我将会找到我的剑。”

当船停在渡口时,他就从记号所指的地方下水去找剑。

他当然是白费心机,找不到失剑的。

The Lost Sword

A man was crossing the river when he accidentally dropped his sword. He immediately cut a mark on the side of the boat where the sword had fallen.

Pointing at the mark, he said,”With this mark, I shall find my sword.”

When the boat made a stop at the ferry, he got up and plunged into the river in the direction the mark was pointing.

But it was useless, and he was unable to recover the lost sword.
