285.不要死于他人之厄運
不要死于他人之厄運。注意觀察那些身陷泥坑之人,看他們是如何求助從而找到災難中的同伴以作安慰的。他們尋找別人以分擔不幸,在這時候伸出援手的,往往是那些在他們好運之時不攀附他們的人。如果想要幫助快被淹死的人,而不危及自己,就要特別小心。
285.Never die of another's ill-luck
Never die of another's ill-luck. Notice those who stick in the mud, and observe how they call others to their aid so as to console themselves with a companion in misfortune. They seek someone to help them to bear misfortune, and often those who turned the cold shoulder on them in prosperity give them now a helping hand. There is great caution needed in helping the drowning without danger to oneself.
