谢是一个富人。他白手起家,靠着勤劳诚恳在木材生意上赚了一大笔钱。他没有什么恶习,但是他也有一个特别的缺点,像许多中国人一样:他爱吃。每当举行宴会或者聚会的时候,他总是花许多钱准备各种奇异的菜。
His favorite of all was a huge, complicated dish. A big fat duck was slaughtered and cooked, and its stomach was filled with sparrows. The diners opened up the ducks stomach with their chopsticks, and found the sparrows baked in the duck. This dish was called Birds Pay Homage to the King!
他最爱吃的是大盘、丰盛的菜。一只大肥鸭被杀掉烹煮了,这只鸭肚里塞满了麻雀。当食客们用筷子打开鸭肚时,就会看到在鸭肚里煮熟了的麻雀。这道菜就叫做百鸟朝凤。
No wonder Mrs. Xie was terrified when she heard what the doctor said! Her husbands disease was called the same thing as his favorite dish. Over years of feasting, Xie had killed so many birds that he called down this strange ailment on himself.
所以当谢太太听到医生的话时,自然感到恐惧。她丈夫的病名就像他最爱吃的菜名一样。多年来的宴会上,谢不知道杀了多少只鸟,得了这样的怪病,是他自作自受。
Anyone who has had a boil knows how painful they are. Xies whole back was a big mass of boils. Not only did they hurt, but they also reeked, too. He suffered for months, and finally died. All of his riches couldnt do anything for him because he had caused too many animals to suffer.
