The Boy Bathing
洗澡的男孩
by Aesop
出自《伊索寓言》
A Boy was bathing in a river and got out of his depth, and was in great danger of being drowned. A man who was passing along a road heard his cries for help, and went to the riverside and began to scold him for being so careless as to get into deep water, but made no attempt to help him. "Oh, sir," cried the Boy, "please help me first and scold me afterwards."
一个在河里洗澡的时候，不小心游到了深水区，情况很危急，很可能会被淹死。有个恰巧经过此地的男人听见了男孩儿的求救声，男人走到岸边，开始责骂男孩儿怎么那么不小心，竟然走到深水区去了，但是没有想要救他的意思。“天啊，叔叔”男孩哭着说，“请先把我救上来，再数落我吧。”
Give assistance, not advice, in a crisis.
正所谓：在危急的时候，我们应该先去帮助他人，而不是去批评和提出建议。
