A man in a village had a sore on his foot which bled and oozed1 pus. He couldn't bear the pain and moaned without stop.
He said to his family: "Be quick! Chisel2 a hole in the wall!"
After the hole was made, he hurriedly stretched his foot into his neighbour's house.
His family members asked him: "What is this for?"
He replied: "Let the pain go to my neighbour. In this way, no matter how painful it is, it doesn't concern me any more!"
村子里有一个人,脚上生疮,流血流脓,痛得难以忍受,不停地呻吟着。
他对家里的人说:“快,你们快把墙壁凿个洞。”
墙洞凿成后,他连忙把生着疮的脚,伸进隔壁邻居家里。
家里的人问他:“这是什么意思?”
他回答说:“让它痛到邻居家里去吧!这样,再痛跟我也不相干!”
