多日不动笔，今天找了个智慧小故事翻译了一下，练练笔。

The Strong-minded Snake
意志坚定的蛇

Once upon a time there was a doctor who was an expert at treating snakebites. One day he was called for by the relatives of a man who had been bitten by a deadly poisonous snake.
从前有位医生，十分擅长治疗蛇毒。一天，有人被一条有着致命剧毒的蛇咬伤了，他的家人来请医生。

The doctor told them, “There are two ways of treating this snake bite. One is by giving medicine. The other is by capturing the snake who bit him, and forcing him to suck out his own poison.” The family said, “We would like to find the snake and make him suck the poison out.”
医生告诉他们：”有两种方法可以治疗蛇毒。一种是用药。另一种是抓到那条咬伤人的蛇，然后迫使它吸出自己的蛇毒。”伤者的家人说”我们愿找出那条蛇，让它把毒吸出来。”

After the snake was caught, the doctor asked him, “Did you bite this man?” “Yes I did,” said the snake. “Well then,” said the doctor, “You must suck your own poison out of the wound.” But the strong-willed snake replied, “Take back my own poison? Never! I have never done such a thing and I never will!”
抓到蛇后，医生问它：”是你咬伤了这个人么？”"是的”蛇回答说。”那么，”医生说”你必须把自己的蛇毒从伤者体内吸出来。”但是这条蛇意志坚定，答道：”吸出自己的蛇毒？决不！我以前从没做过这种事，以后也绝不会这样做！”

Then the doctor started a wood fire and said to the snake, “If you don’t suck that poison out, I’ll throw you in this fire and burn you up!”But the snake had made up his mind. He said, “I’d rather die!” And he began moving towards the fire.
于是，医生点燃了一堆火，对蛇说：”如果你不把毒吸出来，我就把你丢到火里烧了！”但是，这条蛇已经下定决心，它说：”我宁愿去死！”然后它向着火堆爬去。

In all his years, the snake bite expert doctor had never seen anything like this! He took pity on the courageous snake, and kept him from entering the flames. He used his medicines and magic spells to remove the poison from the suffering man.
这位治疗蛇毒的专家一生中还从未遇到过这种事。他对这条有胆量的蛇起了怜悯之心，把它拦了下来，阻止它冲向火堆。然后用自己的药和神奇的咒语将蛇毒从伤者体内清除了。

The doctor admired the snake’s single-minded determination. He knew that if he used his determination in a wholesome way he could improve himself. So he taught him the Five Training Steps to avoid unwholesome actions. Then he set him free and said, “Go in peace and harm no one.”
医生很赞赏这条蛇意志的坚决，觉得如果它可以将自己的决心用在有益的地方，一定可以得到提升。因此，他传授给蛇五学处，避免它做坏事。然后他将蛇放了，告诉它：”平静地走吧，不要伤害其他人”。

The moral is: Determination wins respect.
这个故事告诉我们：意志坚定可以赢得尊重。

It was so hot these days that I was too lazy to update my blog. Haha, it doesn’t sound reasonable. Anyway, I’m still working hard on searching some useful data. If keep reading and learning new things everyday, person will finally become knowledgeable one day. Of course, it is really difficult. No pain, no gain. It is easy to do one good thing, but it is hard to keep doing good things in the whole life.

In the hot summer night, recalling whether I really learnt something that day, if positive, just like enjoying a breeze before bed.
