从幼儿园起,老师就给我们讲“盲人摸象”的故事。传说古代印度有一个国王,让一群盲人用手去摸一只大象,然后问他们大象像什么。摸到大象肚皮的盲人说大象像堵墙;摸着象腿的说大象像根柱子;摸到象牙的则说大象像个萝卜;摸着象耳朵的说大象像把大扇子;摸到象尾巴的说大象像根麻绳。国王看到盲人们各执其是,争论不休,哈哈大笑道:“你们都错了,你们摸到的只是大象身体上的一部分,大象不是墙壁、柱子、扇子、绳子……大象就是大象。”这则寓言故事常常用来批评那些一知半解,以偏概全,不对事物作整体判断的人。
Starting from kindergarten, the teacher told us “blind touch” as the story. Legend has it that in ancient India there was a king who allowed a group of blind people to touch an elephant by hand and then asked them what the elephant was like. Touching the elephant’s belly, the blind said the elephant is blocking the wall. Touching the legs like elephants like pillars, touching the ivory means elephants are like radishes. Touching the tail like an elephant says hemp rope. The king saw the blind people each hold their own, endless debate, ha ha laughed: “You are wrong, you touch only part of the elephant body, the elephant is not the wall, pillars, fans, rope ... ... large Elephant. ”" This allegory is often used to criticize those who know little or nothing about the whole, not on the overall judge.
