This incident occurred one morning outside Albert Sch-weitzer's hospital in the African jungle.A patient had gone fishing in another man's boat.The owner of the boat thought he should be given all the fish that were caught.Dr.Sch-weitzer said to the boat owner：
這件事，是一天早晨在非洲叢林中的艾伯特·施韋策的醫(yī)院外面發(fā)生的。一位病人乘了別人的船去捕魚，船主認(rèn)為，捕到的魚應(yīng)悉數(shù)歸他。施韋策博士對船主說：

“You are right because the other man ought to have asked permission to use your boat.But you are wrong because you are careless and lazy.You merely twisted the chain of your canoe round a palm tree instead of fastening it with a padlock.Of laziness you are guilty because you were asleep in your hut on this moonlit night instead of making use of the good opportunity for fishing.”　
“你有對的一面，因為別人要用你的船，理應(yīng)先征得你的同意；但你也有錯的一面，因為你粗心大意，而且懶惰。你只把獨木舟的鏈條繞在一棵棕櫚樹上，沒有用鎖鎖牢。對于懶惰，你是有愧的，因為月明今宵，你關(guān)在屋里睡大覺，卻沒有利用良機(jī)去捕魚?！?/div>
