Zhao Fu and the Cart | 造父驾马车

English Original

A father and son were passing by Zhao Fu's field when their horse became frightened and refused to move.

The father and son, sweating profusely, went to ask Zhao Fu for help to push their cart.

Zhao Fu agreed. He placed his hoe on the cart, took the reins from the son, and gently held the horse's bridle. Before he could even raise his whip, the horse began to run.


中文翻译

一对父子驾车经过造父的田地时,他们的马受了惊,不肯再走一步。

父子俩累得满头大汗,跑去请求造父帮他们推车。

造父答应了。他将锄头放在车上,从儿子手中接过缰绳,轻轻地拉住马的辔头。他甚至还没来得及扬起鞭子,马就开始跑动起来。
