One day, a man of the State of Chu was crossing a river by boat.
一天,有個(gè)楚國人坐船過河。
Due to carelessness, his sword which hung at his side fell into the water.
一不小心身上掛的寶劍掉進(jìn)河堅(jiān)去了。
Not in the least worried, he slowly took out a small knife and cut a mark on the side of the boat.
他一點(diǎn)兒也不著急,慢騰騰地拿出小刀,在船舷上刻了一個(gè)記號。
Someone on the boat asked him: "Why don't you jump into the water at once to fish for your sword?
有人問他:“為什么不趕快下水把它撈起來?
What's the use of making this mark on the side of the boat?"
你在船舷上刻這個(gè)記號有什么用啊?”
He pointed to the mark on the side of the boat, saying unhurriedly:
他指著船舷上的記號,不慌不忙地說:
"There is no need to worry. My sword fell into the river at this marked place.
“不用著急。我的寶劍是從這個(gè)刻著記號的地方掉下去的。
As soon as the boat reaches the dock and pulls in to shore,
等舟到了碼頭,靠了岸,
I will jump down from here to retrieve my sword."
我從這里跳下去,就能把寶劍撈上來?!?/p>
