看到聖嚴法師所著《樂活紓壓禪》中如下的比喻，覺得頗有道理，所以就翻譯了這段文，和大家分享，學習人生智慧與學英文一起來，一兼二顧，摸蜊仔兼洗褲：）

原文

「遇事不要煩惱。譬如我們這間房子，現在突然失火了，該怎麼處理？房子失火，必然有原因。我們是先救火呢？或者是先跑出去呢？又或者是先坐在這裡研究原因呢？當然，事必有因由，先別管原因，我們現在是解決問題要緊，先當跑出火宅設法救火，然後追究火首是誰吧！能如此，方能解決種種的不如意事。凡事發生困擾時，我們便以這種態度來接受、來解決。」

譯文

Do not worry when we get into trouble. For instance, if our house is suddenly on fire, what shall we do? There must be a reason for a house to catch fire. Do we go and help first? Do we run first? Or we just sit here to find out a reason? Well, there must be a reason, but forget about it. What matters now is to solve the problem; we shall run out of the house to put out fires and find out who set the house on fire after that. If we do so, we are able to solve different kinds of problems. Whenever we feel worried about anything, we can take the attitude to accept a fact and to solve a problem.
