摘要
“囫囵吞枣”是指把枣子整个吞下去,不加咀嚼,不辨滋味,比喻读书等时不加分析地笼统接受。从前,有个年轻人买了一些水果,有梨和枣。他坐在路边上吃。有个老人看见了,对他说:“吃梨虽然对牙齿有好处,可吃多了却对身体有害。”年轻人问道:“那吃枣呢?”老人说:“吃枣对身体有益,可吃多了却对牙齿不好。”年轻人想了一会儿,说:“我想出了个好办法!我吃梨就只用牙齿嚼,不吞到肚子里去;吃枣就不用牙齿嚼,整个吞下去。”说完,他就拿起一颗枣放进嘴里,立刻吞了下去。不幸的是,他就被枣噎住了。
Long ago,there was a young man who bought some fruits,like pears and 1)dates.He sat at the roadside to eat them.An old man saw him and said,“Eating too many pears is good for teeth,but bad for your body.”The young man asked,“How about dates?”The old man answered,“The dates are good for your body but bad for teeth.”The young man thought for a while and said,“I’ve got a good idea!I can eat pears with teeth and don’t 2)swallow them.And I can swallow dates without 3)chewing.”Then he put a date into his mouth and swallowed it immediately.Unluckily,he was 4)choked by the date.
