百喻经之八十: 倒灌喻
§80 倒灌喻
(80) to take an enema
昔有一人患下部病，医言：“当须倒灌，乃可瘥耳。”便集灌具，欲以灌之。医未至顷，便取服之，腹胀欲死，不能自胜。医既来至，怪其所以，即便问之：“何故如是？”即答医言：“向时灌药，我取服之，是故欲死。”
once upon a time, there was a man who had a pain in his rear. the doctor said it would be healed by giving an enema. he immediately went to fetch the instruments for that purpose. the patient took the drug before the physician came back. his belly became inflated beyond description. after his return, the doctor wondered what had happened to the patient and asked him the cause of it. to the physician, he replied, "i've just taken the drug for enema. that's why i'm dying."
医闻是语，深责之言：“汝大愚人，不解方便。”即更以余药服之，方得吐下，尔乃得瘥。”如此愚人，为世所笑。
