成語故事

Long ago, there was a young man who bought many fruits, like pears and dates. He sat at the roadside to eat them.

從前，有個(gè)人買了一堆水果，有梨兒，也有棗兒，坐在路邊上吃。

An old man saw him and said: “ Eating too many pears is good for teeth, but bad for your body.”

有個(gè)老頭兒看見了，對(duì)他說：“小伙子，梨兒可不能多吃呀。它雖然對(duì)牙齒有好處，可是吃多了對(duì)身體不好?！?/span>

The young man asked: “ How about dates?” The old man answered: “ The dates are good for body but bad for teeth.”

青年人就問：“棗兒吃多了呢？”老頭兒說：“棗兒對(duì)身體是好的，可吃多了對(duì)牙齒不好，也不能多吃?！?/span>

The young man thought for a while and said: “ I’ve got a good idea! 

青年人看了看梨兒，又看了看棗兒，想了一會(huì)兒，說：“哈哈，我想出了個(gè)好辦法！

I can eat pears with teeth and don’t swallow them. And I can swallow dates without chewing.” 

我吃梨兒就只用牙齒嚼，不吞到肚子里去。吃棗兒，我就把它整個(gè)兒吞下去，不用牙齒嚼。”

Then he put a date into his mouth and swallowed it immediately. Unluckily, he was choked by the date.

說完話，他就拿起一個(gè)棗兒放在嘴里，直接吞了下去。沒想到，他一下子就被棗兒噎住了。
