In the past, someone said:

從前，有個(gè)人說:

“The pear is good for the teeth, but bad for the spleen; the date is good for the spleen, but bad for the teeth.”

“吃生梨對(duì)牙齒有好處，但是會(huì)傷脾;吃紅棗對(duì)脾有好處，但是會(huì)損害牙齒?！?/p>

A young man heard this, thought it over for a long time and said:

一個(gè)年輕人聽了這句話，想了很久，說道:

“Then, when I eat a pear, I’ll keep it in my mouth and chew it with my teeth, but won’t swallow it,so it will not do any harm to my spleen.

“那我吃生梨的時(shí)候，就含在嘴里，用牙齒咀嚼，但是不往肚里咽，它就損傷不了我的脾。

When I eat a date, I won’t chew it, but will swallow it whole, so it will not do any harm to my teeth.”

吃棗的時(shí)候，我把它整個(gè)兒吞下去，不去咀嚼，這樣就不會(huì)損害我的牙齒了?！?/p>

When people heard this, they jeered at him:

人們聽了他的話，譏笑說:

“You are swallowing a date whole!”

“你這是在囫圇吞棗啊!”
