在一次收获季节，养蜂人想尝试酿蜜。他并不懂得其中的技巧，于是请教他的父亲。 年老退休的养蜂人告诉儿子说：“你照着一般的方法做就行了。不过，在即将完成前，记住在蜂蜜里滴一点苦药。” 他反问道：“为什么要这么做呢？这样简直是糟蹋宝贵的蜂蜜。” 他的父亲只是笑笑，并不回答。 于是，他按照自己的想法来酿蜜。等到蜂蜜熟成后，他取出一点来尝。但是，他酿成的蜂蜜却不如父亲的甜。 他百思不解，最后只好问父亲。 “为什么您告诉我要在酿好的蜂蜜里加苦药呢？这样不会破坏蜂蜜的味道吗？” “正是因为里边有苦味剌激人的舌头.才能显出蜂蜜的香甜” Sweetness with a Little Bitterness In a harvest season, a beekeeper tried making honey. He had no knowledge of skills so he consulted his father. The retired, old beekeeper told his son, “It’s okay to make it in the common method. However, on the point of completing it, remember to drop a little bitter medicine into the honey." He retorted, “Why so? It is simply to ruin the precious honey.” His father just smiled without reply. |
