What's Time to a Pig? | 时间对猪有何意义?

English Original

One day, a visitor from the city drove through a small rural area. He wanted to see the farms and perhaps understand how farmers lived.

In a farmyard, he saw a farmer holding up a pig so it could eat apples directly from a tree. The city man remarked, "I see your pig likes apples, but isn't that a waste of time?"

The farmer simply replied, "What's time to a pig?"

一天,一位来自城市的访客驾车穿过一个小乡村。他想看看农庄,或许也想了解农夫们如何生活。

在一个农家庭院里,他看见一位农夫正举着一头猪,让它能够直接从树上吃苹果。城里人评论道:“我看你的猪挺喜欢吃苹果,但这不是浪费时间吗?”

农夫只是简单地回答道:“时间对猪有什么意义?”
