中英双语故事:拥抱你的敌人
【英文原文】
摘要：一间小杂货店对面新开了一家大型连锁商店，这家商店即将打垮杂货店的生意。
Across a small drugstore, a large chain store was newly opened and would defeat the business of the small drugstore.
The shopkeeper of the drugstore went to a priest to talk about his concern. The priest suggested, “You stand in front of your store every day to pray for it to prosper, and then turn around to pray for that chain store likewise, that is, to embrace your enemy in public.”
Some days later, as what the shopkeeper worried, his store shut down, but he was appointed as the manager of the chain store, and earned more than before.
【中文译文】
一间小杂货店对面新开了一家大型连锁商店，这家商店即将打垮杂货店的生意。
杂货店老板找牧师诉苦。牧师建议他：“每天早上站在商店门前祈祷你的商店生意兴隆，然后转过身去，也同样祈祷那家连锁商店，也就是当众拥抱你的敌人。”
一段日子后，正如这人当初所担心的，他的商店关门了，但他却被聘为那家连锁店的经理，而且收入比以前更好。
