曾子杀猪翻译

Zeng Zi Kills Pig
In the ancient time, in the state of Lu, there was a man named Zeng Zi. He was a disciple of Confucius and known for his wisdom and virtue. One day, Zeng Zi was asked by his friend to help him kill a pig for a feast.
Zeng Zi hesitated at first, as he was a man of great compassion and did not want to harm any living creature. However, his friend insisted that it was necessary for the feast and Zeng Zi reluctantly agreed.
As Zeng Zi was about to strike the pig with a knife, he suddenly stopped and thought to himself, "If I kill this pig, I will be taking a life and causing suffering. Is this really the right thing to do?"
With a heavy heart, Zeng Zi put down the knife and said to his friend, "I cannot kill this pig. I cannot bring myself to take a life and cause suffering to another living being."
His friend was disappointed and frustrated, but Zeng Zi remained firm in his decision. He believed that compassion and kindness should always come first, and that it was wrong to harm others for personal gain or pleasure.
In the end, Zeng Zi's friend had to find someone else to kill the pig for the feast. Zeng Zi's act of kindness and compassion earned him even more respect and admiration from those around him.
The story of Zeng Zi killing the pig has been passed down through generations as a powerful example of the importance of kindness, compassion, and respect for all living beings.
