In the past, there was a man who had a large appetite. When he ate, he devoured1 ravenously2.
 
Once he wasn't careful enough so that a fishbone got stuck in his throat. The food was blocked in his esophagus, and he could neither swallow nor vomit3. So he called a physician, but the physician could do nothing. The people around looked at him in anxiety Finally, as couldn't breathe, the died of choking.
 
Afterwards, someone went so far as to issue a ban: Eating is forbidden as from today for the reason that no one will be choked to death if people give up eating.
 
从前,有个人饭量很大,吃起饭来,狼吞虎咽。
 
一次,他不留神,骨头哽在喉咙里,食物被堵塞在食道里,想咽咽不下,想吐吐不出。于是,他请来医生,医生也没有办法。周围的人看着他,干着急。最后,他因透不过来而活活噎死了。
 
事后,有人居然下了一道禁令:从今天起,天下禁止吃饭。理由是:不吃饭,就不会噎死人。
