Nail

钉子


There is a boy with a bad temper, so his father gave him a bag of nails. And told him that every time he nails a nail on the fence when he lost his temper.

有一个男孩有着很坏的脾气,于是他的父亲就给了他一袋钉子;并且告诉他,每当他发脾气的时候就钉一根钉子在围篱上。


On the first day, the boy hammered 37 nails. However, the number of nails hammered on the fence gradually decreased after the first day.

第一天,这个男孩钉下了37根钉子。可是慢慢地每天钉下的数量减少了。


Finallyhe found that he could control his temper.

最终他发现可以控制自己的脾气。


One day he told his father about it, and his father told him that he was now beginning to pull out a nail every time that he could control his temper.

有一天他告诉他的父亲这件事,父亲告诉他,现在开始每当他能控制自己的脾气的时候,就拔出一根钉子。


The day passed, and the boy finally told his father that he had finally pulled out all the nails.

一天天地过去了,最后男孩告诉他的父亲,他终于把所有钉子都拔出来了。


The father took his hand and said, “well done, my good boy. But look at the holes in those fence, and they will stay here forever. What you say when you are angry will leave a scar like these nails. If you stab someone with a knife, no matter how many times you say you're sorry. The cut will stay forever. The pain of words as unbearable as the pain of truth.”

父亲握着他的手说:你做得很好,我的好孩子。但是看看那些围篱上的洞,这些围篱永远不能回复成从前。你生气的时候说的话将像这些钉子一样留下疤痕。如果你拿刀子捅别人一刀,不管你说了多少次对不起,那个伤口将永远存在。话语的伤痛就像真实的伤痛一样令人无法承受。
