中國成語寓言故事28:Giving Up Eating for Fear of Choking因噎廢食(雙語)
In the past, there was a man who had a large appetite. When he ate, he devoured ravenously.
從前，有個人飯量很大，吃起飯來，狼吞虎咽。
Once he wasn't careful enough so that a fishbone got stuck in his throat. The food was blocked in his esophagus, and he could neither swallow nor vomit. So he called a physician, but the physician could do nothing. The people around looked at him in anxiety. Finally, as he couldn't breathe, he died of choking.
一次，他不留神，骨頭硬在喉嚨里，食物被堵塞在食道里，想咽咽不下，想吐吐不出。于是，他請來醫(yī)生，醫(yī)生也沒有辦法。周圍的人看著他，干著急。最后，他因透不過氣來而活活噎死了。
Afterwards, someone went so far as to issue a ban: Eating is forbidden as from today for the reason that no one will be choked to death if people give up eating.
事后，有人居然下了一道禁令:從今天起，天下禁止吃飯。理由是:不吃飯，就不會噎死人。
