有一年,宋(人名待议)交和宋吉两兄弟一同上京赶考。在路上,他们碰到了一个和尚。和尚打量了宋交一下,说,我能从你的面相上看出,你曾经救过很多动物。你本来是注定要在科举中落榜的,但是因为你救了那么多生命,今年你将高中榜首。让贫僧做第一个向未来高官贺喜的人吧。
Song Jiao thought this was strange. When did I ever save many lives?
宋交觉得这事很奇怪。我什么时候救过很多生命呢?
The monk said, Once you saved ants in distress.
和尚答道,你曾经救过困境中的蚂蚁。
What? You mean saving some measly ants means saving lives?
什么?你说我救了一些蚂蚁就是救了许多生命?
Exactly.All living creatures have lives and fates, even a bug as lowly as an ant. Your brother was originally destined to win the top score in these examinations, but you will not do worse than he.
当然了。所有的生物都有生命和命运,即使是像蚂蚁那么微小的虫子。你的兄弟本来注定该一举夺魁,但是你不会比他差的。
The Sung brothers could hardly believe this. As they walked away, Chi asked Chiao, Did you really save a bunch of ants?
宋氏兄弟很难相信他的话。当他们走了以后,宋吉问宋交,你真的救过一群蚂蚁吗?
