中國成語寓言故事138:Resenting Being Considered Illiterate諱不識字(雙語)
閱讀 : 次
A man wrote a letter and had it sent to a rich man to borrow an ox.
有個人寫了一封信，派人去向一個富翁借頭牛。
The rich man was just receiving guests.
富翁正在會客。
He was illiterate, but he resented very much being considered illiterate. Upon receiving the letter, he opened the envelope, and skimmed through the letter as if he could read. Then he said to the messenger:
富翁不識字，但是他卻最忌諱人家說他不識字。他一接到信，就拆開信封，裝出識字的樣子，默默地看了一遍，然后對來人說:
"All right. I will go in a little while."
“知道了，等一會兒我就去!”
