Goethe's Tolerance1
Goethe was once strolling on a narrow path in a park in Weimar. As luck would have it, he met with a critic who was hostile to him. Both of them sTOPped, staring at each other. Then the critic said.
I will never make way for a fool.
But I will, with that Goethe retreated aside.
歌德的容忍
有一次,歌德在魏玛一个公园的小路上散步。那条小路非常窄,偏偏遇上了一个对他心存敌意的评论家。他们都停下来看着他们。评论家开口了:
我永远不会给一个傻瓜让路。
但我会。说完,歌德退到旁边。
