There was a natural rock bridge in Mountain Chi Cheng. The bridge was only one foot in width, and was covered with smooth and slippery mosses1. On both sides there were steep cliffs, and it was really dangerous.
But there was a woodman that could cross the bridge very easily with a big bundle of firewood on his back.
When asked by someone to do this once again for people to see, the woodman squinted2 at the high and dangerous bridge and the abysses, his legs shuddered3. With his eyes full of fear, he totally lost his light heartedness and easiness that he had before.
赤城山上有一座天然的、完全由岩石架成的梁,桥面只有一尺宽,上面长满了又软又滑的苔藓,两旁是峭壁悬崖,极其危险。
一个打柴的樵夫却能背着一个大捆柴轻松地从桥上走过。
当有人请求樵夫专门走一趟,表演给大家看时,樵夫站在桥头,斜着眼睛看了看这座又高又险的石桥和两边的深渊,禁不住两腿颤抖,难以挪动脚步,眼中充满了恐惧,完全失去了第一次经过这座桥的潇洒和从容。
