| 内容 | blessing or bane 塞翁失马 Near China‘s northern borders lived a man called Sai Weng. He raised a lot of horses. 战国时期，靠近北部边城，住着一个姓塞老人， 他养了许多马。 One day， he lost one of his horses. Everyone commiserated with him. 一天，他的一匹走失了，人们听说这件事，跑来安慰他。 “Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing，” said Sai Weng. 塞翁说：“没准会带来什么福气呢。” After a few months， his horse came back， leading a fine horse from the north. 过了几个月，丢失的马不仅自己回了家，还带回一匹匈奴的骏马。 Everyone congratulated him. 所有人都来祝贺塞翁。 “Perhaps this may turn out to be a cause of misfortune，” said Sai Weng. 塞翁反而说：“这或许会带来不幸呢。” Since he was well-off and kept good horses， his son became fond of riding and eventually broke his leg for falling from a horse. 因为塞翁很富有，并且养马养得很好，所以他的儿子也十分喜爱骑马。但没想到有一次骑马时，他的儿子从马上掉了下来，摔断了腿。 Everyone commiserated with him. “Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing，” said his father. 人们于是又去安慰塞翁。但塞翁却说：“也许这次又会带来好运呢。” One year later， the northern tribes started a big invasion of the border regions. 一年以后，匈奴入侵边境。 This man’s son did not join in the fighting because he was crippled and so he survived. 但是塞翁的儿子因为腿断了便没有被征入当兵队伍之中，而其他很多当兵的青年都战死在了沙场，塞翁的儿子因此保住了性命。 成语“塞翁失马”如果用于英文表达，可以使用短语“blessing or bane ”，“blessing”的意思是“好运”，“bane”的意思则是“厄运，祸事”，所以放在一起就可以表达“塞翁失马”的意思。 但是，英文表达“blessing or bane ”常会用来单纯的表示“是祸是福”的意思，比如： Technology， a blessing or a bane? 高科技，是祸是福? |
