We must delay our judgment of the current situation(塞翁失馬)
In the Han Dynasty of China, there was a
royal noble named Liu An. He edited a book in chief, and wrote a story in it.
There is a man who lives in the north of
China.
His profession is horse breeding. His horse
is fat and big.
One day, he had a good horse and suddenly
ran away.
His family felt very sad.
He said to his family.
Don't be too sad, it might be a good thing
to lose this horse.
After two months, the horse suddenly came
back.
This horse also brought back another good
horse.
His family felt very happy.
He said to his family.
Don't be too happy. An extra horse may be a
bad thing.
After a week, his son rode this newly
joined horse.
But his son fell off the horse and broke
his thigh.
His family is very sad.
He said to his family.
Don't be too sad, my son's thigh fracture
may be a good thing.
A year later, China was at war with the
nomads in the north, and all young people were drafted into the army.
The war was merciless, and many young
people died as a result.
However, his son was exempted from military
service because of his broken thigh.
This is an idiom commonly used by Chinese
people.
It is used to remind us that we must delay
our judgment of good luck and bad luck.

塞翁失馬(We must delay our judgment of the
current situation)
中國的漢代，有一個皇室的貴族名字叫做劉安。他主編過一本書，書裡面寫了一個故事。
有一個人他住在中國的北方。
他的職業是養馬。他的馬養得又肥又大。
有一天，有一隻他有一匹好馬突然跑離開了。
他的家人們感到很難過。
他對家人們說。
你們不要太難過，遺失了這一匹馬或許是一件好的事情。
過了兩個月，這一匹馬突然又回來了。
這一匹馬還帶回來另一匹很好的馬。
他的家人們感到很開心。
他對家人們說。
你們不要太高興。多了一隻馬或許是一件不好的事情。
過了一個禮拜，他的兒子騎這一匹新加入的馬。
但他的兒子從馬背上摔了下來大腿骨折。
他的家人都很難過。
他對家人說。
你們不要太難過，我的兒子大腿骨折或許是一件好的事情。
一年之後，中國與北方的遊牧民族發生戰爭，所有的年輕人都被徵召入伍。
戰爭是無情的，有許多的年輕人因此死亡。
但他的兒子因為大腿骨折尚未復原，所以就免除兵役。
這是一句中國人常用的成語。
被用來提醒我們必須延遲我們對好運氣與壞運氣的判斷。
