有这样一个有趣而另人深思的实验,把一只青蛙冷不防扔进滚烫的油锅里,青蛙能出人意料地一跃而出,逃离险境。然后又把同一只青蛙放在逐渐加热的水锅里,这次它感到舒服惬意,以致意识到危险来临时却欲跃乏力,最终葬身锅底。由这个实验我们可以看出,青蛙对眼前的危险反映敏感,对还没有到来的危险反映迟钝。由此我想到了人,其实人在这方面也是如此,正如孟子所说的:“生于忧患,死于安乐。” There is such an interesting and thought-provoking experiment, in which a frog is accidentally thrown into a hot oil pot, and the frog can jump out of danger unexpectedly. Then he put the same frog in the gradually heated water pot. This time, he felt comfortable and comfortable, so that when he realized the danger was coming, he wanted to feel weak and finally died. From this experiment, we can see that frogs are sensitive to the immediate danger and slow to the danger that has not yet arrived. So I think of people. In fact, people are the same in this respect. As Mencius said, "born in trouble, died in happiness." 人生旅途中,逆境催人警醒,激人奋进,而安逸优越的环境却消磨人的意志,使人耽于安乐,尽享舒适,常常一事无成。有的人甚至在安逸之时沉溺酒色,自我毁灭。这与青蛙临难时的奋起一跃和温水中的卧以待毙是何其相似。 |
