有这样一个故事。在遥远的大山上,住着一个能预知未来的老人,据说他能回答任何人提出的问题。有个年轻人不服气,想愚弄这个老人。他捉了一只小鸟,藏在身后,问:“我手中的鸟是活的还是死的?”年轻人想:如果老人说鸟是活的,我就把它掐死;如果老人说鸟是死的,我就让它飞掉。老人看着年轻人,郑重地说:“生命就掌握在你的手上!” There is such a story. On the faraway mountain, there lived an old man who could foretell the future, and he was said to be able to answer anyone’s questions. There is a young man unconvinced, want to fool the elderly. He catches a little bird and hides behind and asks: “Is the bird in my hand alive or dead?” Young people think: If an old man says a bird is alive, I strangle it; if the old man Said the bird is dead, I let it fly off. The elderly look at young people, solemnly said: “life is in your hands! ”
