Once upon a time a Frog came forth from his home in the marshes and proclaimed to all the world that he was a learned physician, skilled in drugs and able to cure all diseases. Among the crowd was a Fox, who called out, “You a doctor! Why, how can you set up to heal others when you cannot even cure your own lame legs and blotched and wrinkled skin?”
Physician, heal thyself.
從前有一只青蛙,他離開在沼澤中的家,向眾人宣布,他是個精通醫(yī)術(shù)的醫(yī)生,擅長用藥,包治百病。有只狐貍大聲喊道:“你,醫(yī)生?哎呀,你連自己那瘸腿和起皺的皮都治不好,怎么還能治好別人的病呢?”
訓(xùn)誡:醫(yī)人者,先自醫(yī)。
