李小龙和两杯水
故事原文
A master martial artist asked Bruce to teach him everything Bruce knew about martial arts. Bruce held up two cups, both filled with liquid. “The first cup,” said Bruce, “represents all of your knowledge about martial arts. The second cup represents all of my knowledge about martial arts. If you want to fill your cup with my knowledge, you must first empty your cup of your knowledge.”
翻译如下
一位武术大师与李小龙切磋，请李小龙把所有他知道的武术知识都教给他。李小龙拿来两杯盛满水的杯子，说，“这一杯水是你，满腹经纶，另外这一杯水是我，也有着很多武学知识。如果你要我把我这杯水倒进你的杯子，你必须先把你杯子里的水清空。”
