Long,long ago,in Chunqu Dynasty of ancient China,a man from Chu state dropped his beautiful well-set sword into the water because of the shake from the boat while he was in the middle of the river ."Oh,God." He cried in dear pity."What can I do " On hearing that,the boatman replied calmly "It doesn't matter.I'm coming to dive for it." But the man from Chu hesitated for a while and said "We can't do that because the water is rapid and deep.But I have a marvelous idea." With these words,he took out his knife and made a mark on one side of the boat where his sword was dropped."Well,everything is done!" When the boat stopped at the opposite bank,the man undressed himself immediately and dove into the water for his sword from the very place where he had made the mark.Of course,he got nothing.Finally he appeared in the water and murmured:"What's happening?why can't I find my sword from the water just under the mark?" Laughter burst from the passengers.
Well,let's end the story with the conclusion:Man should not stick stubbornly to his own opinion,instead he should make changes according to specific conditions.
有一次,一個(gè)楚國(guó)人坐船過江.船到江心時(shí)一個(gè)不小心,他失手把心愛的寶劍掉到了水里.好心的船夫愿意幫他撈劍,可是這個(gè)楚國(guó)人不慌不忙,把掉劍的位置刻在船身上,說：“不用了,等船靠岸后再說吧!”.船靠岸以后,他才請(qǐng)船夫從他刻了記號(hào)的船邊下水,替他打撈寶劍.但是船一直在走,而劍掉到了水中就不會(huì)再移動(dòng).就算船夫潛水的本領(lǐng)再高,又怎么可能找到根本不在船下的劍呢?
