双语故事：因噎废食

　　In the past, there was a man who had a large appetite.

　　When he ate, he devoured ravenously.

　　Once he wasn't careful enough so that a fishbone got stuck in his throat.

　　The food was blocked in his esophagus, and he could neither swallow nor vomit.

　　So he called a physician, but the physician could do nothing.

　　The people around looked at him in anxiety.

　　Finally, as he couldn't breathe, he died of choking.

　　Afterwards, someone went so far as to issue a ban:

　　Eating is forbidden as from today for the reason that no one will be choked to death if people give up eating.

　　从前，有个人饭量很大。

　　吃起饭来，狼吞虎咽。

　　一次，他不留神，骨头硬在喉咙里。

　　食物被堵塞在食道里，想咽咽不下，想吐吐不出。

　　于是，他请来医生，医生也没有办法。

　　周围的人看着他，干着急。

　　最后，他因透不过气来而活活噎死了。

　　事后，有人居然下了一道禁令:

　　从今天起，天下禁止吃饭。理由是:不吃饭，就不会噎死人。
