In the past, someone said:


从前,有个人说:


“The pear is good for the teeth, but bad for the spleen; the date is good for the spleen,but bad for the teeth.”
“吃生梨对牙齿有好处,但是会伤脾;吃红枣对脾有好处,但是会损害牙齿。”


A young man heard this, thought it over for a long time and said:
一个年轻人听了这句话,想了很久,说道:


“Then, when I eat a pear, I’ll keep it in my mouth and chew it with my teeth, but won’tswallow it,so it will not do any harm to my spleen.
“那我吃生梨的时候,就含在嘴里,用牙齿咀嚼,但是不往肚里咽,它就损伤不了我的脾。


When I eat a date, I won’t chew it, but will swallow it whole, so it will not do any harm tomy teeth.”
吃枣的时候,我把它整个儿吞下去,不去咀嚼,这样就不会损害我的牙齿了。”


When people heard this, they jeered at him:


人们听了他的话,讥笑说:


“You are swallowing a date whole!”
“你这是在囫囵吞枣啊!”
