In the past, a man bragged about his how: “There is no bow better than mine. It doesn’t need any arrow!”
    從前，有個(gè)人自夸他的弓，說(shuō)：“我的弓嘛，沒(méi)有比這更好的了，好得不需要用什么箭的！”
    Anther man bragged about his arrow: “There is no arrow better than mine. It doesn’t need any bow!”
    也有人在夸他的箭，說(shuō)：“我的箭，沒(méi)有比這更好了，好得用不著什么弓了！”
    At that time, a man good at archery happened to pass by and duanwenw.com heard their dialogue. He said: “You are both wrong. One cannot shoot an arrow without a bow; and without an arrow, how can one hit the target?”
    這時(shí)候，恰好有一個(gè)會(huì)射箭的人從他們身邊走過(guò)，聽(tīng)到他們的這段對(duì)話，就說(shuō)：“你們倆個(gè)人的話都不對(duì)。沒(méi)有弓，發(fā)不出箭，沒(méi)有箭，怎么能射中目標(biāo)呢？”
    Thereupon, the man good at archery asked them to take out their bow and arrow. Then he showed them how to shoot at the target with a bow and an arrow.
    說(shuō)完后，會(huì)射箭的人還叫他們把弓和箭都拿出來(lái)，射箭給他們看。
    Now they understood: A bow won’t do without an arrow’ nor an arrow without a bow. They complement each other.
    他們這才明白：弓不能離開(kāi)箭，箭也離不開(kāi)弓，兩者相輔相成。
