A teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag with a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates. So the number of potatoes that a child will put in the plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she hates.
一位老师决定让她的学生玩一个游戏。老师告诉班上的每个孩子都带一个装有几个土豆的塑料袋。每个土豆将被赋予一个孩子讨厌的人的名字。因此，一个孩子将放入塑料袋的土豆的数量将取决于他 / 她讨厌的人的数量。
S o w h e n t h e d a y came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had two potatoes and some three while some up to five potatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry the potatoes in the plastic bag with them wherever they go for one week. As days passed, and the children started to complain due to the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten (腐烂的) potatoes. Besides, those having five potatoes also had to carry heavier bags. After one week, the game was finally over.
所以当那天到来的时候，每个孩子都带了一些土豆，上面写着他 / 她讨厌的人的名字。有些人有两个土豆，有些人有三个，而有些人多达五个土豆。然后老师让孩子们随身携带这袋土豆一个星期，无论他们去哪里。一天天过去了，孩子们开始抱怨腐烂的土豆散发出的臭味。此外，那些有五个土豆的孩子们也不得不提着更重的袋子。一个星期后，游戏终于结束了。
The teacher asked, “How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for one week?” The children started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.★
老师问：“你们随身携带着土豆一个星期，感觉怎么样？”孩子们开始抱怨他们无论走到哪里都得背着又重又臭的土豆，真是太麻烦了。
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said, “This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred (仇恨) for somebody inside your heart. The hatred will be harmful to your heart. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what it is like to have the hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”
然后老师告诉他们游戏背后隐藏的意思。老师说：“这正是你内心憎恨某个人时的情形。仇恨会伤害你的心脏。如果土豆腐烂的气味让你连一个星期都忍受不了，你能想象一辈子心怀仇恨是什么样的吗？”
