【大纪元6月12日讯】
管燕得罪了齐王,被逼要逃亡。逃亡前,求助于他的亲信说:“你们有没有人愿意跟我一起逃亡,投奔他国?”
大堂顿时一片寂静,鸦雀无声。
管燕不禁潸然泪下,并凄然叹息说:“得士容易用士难!”
当他仍在长嗟短叹之际,田需走上前答道:“种瓜得瓜,种豆得豆。你将自己喂得肚满肠肥,但我们却三餐都吃不铇。你妻妾穿的都是绫罗绸缎,但我们连起码的衣服都买不起,以你的地位来说:这些都是应该轻视的东西,事到如今,你不仅不把应该轻视的东西送给我们,反而要求我们献出最宝贵的生命,当然没有人理会你了。”
You Reap What You Sow!
Guan Yan had angered the King of Qi and had to flee for his life. In despair, he appealed to his trusted aides for help, “Is there anyone who’s willing to follow me and seek refuge elsewhere?”
Silence fell over the room. No one uttered a word.
Guan Yan burst into tears. “Aides are easy to acquire but hard to put into service,” he sighed.
While he was still sighing, Tian Xu stepped forward and said, “You reap what you sow! When you were stuffing yourself with food, we all went hungry. When your women were wearing silks and satins, we couldn’t even afford casual wear.”
“A man of your standing should care little about worldly goods. Even now, instead of giving these things to us, you dare ask us offer you our most precious life. Of course nobody will heed you.”
