Reading Hastily and Without Thinking
Once upon a time, there was a young man who was eating a pear while walking.
At this time, the face of an old man. He could not help saying, "Young man, you shouldn't eat too many pears. It's good for your teeth, but eating too much is bad for your stomach and spleen."
Hearing this, the young man hurriedly took out some dates from his pocket and asked the old man, "How about eating dates? Is it good for your health?"
The old man replied, "Jujube does have the effect of tonifying the spleen, but eating too much will harm the teeth."
The young man listened, thought for a moment, and smiled again.
He said to the old man, "Oh, I have an idea. When I could eat pears, I would chew them in my mouth and not swallow them; When eating dates, don't bite, swallow them whole. In this way, the spleen and stomach will not be damaged, and the teeth will not be damaged." Then he put the date in his mouth and swallowed it, and immediately choked.
囫圇吞棗
從前，有一個年輕人，他邊走路邊吃着梨。
這時候，迎面走過來一位老人。看到年輕人大口地吃着梨，他忍不住說：“年輕人啊，梨可不宜吃得太多。雖然它對牙齒有好處，但是吃多了對脾胃不好。”
年輕人聽了，連忙從口袋裡拿出幾顆棗，問老人：“那棗怎麼樣呢？對身體好不好？”
老人回答：“棗倒是有補脾的作用，但是吃多了會傷害牙齒。”
年輕人聽了，想了一會兒，又眉開眼笑了。
他對老人說：“哦，我有辦法了。我可以吃梨的時候，只在嘴裡嚼一嚼，不咽到肚子里去；吃棗的時候，不用牙齒咬，把棗整顆吞下去。這樣，就可以既不傷脾胃，又不壞牙齒了。” 說完，把棗放進嘴裡，一口吞了下去，結果立刻被噎住了。
