Near China's northern borders lived a man called Sai Weng. He raised a lot of horses.

One day, he lost one of his horses. Everyone commiserated with him.
一天，他的一匹走失了，人們聽說這件事，跑來安慰他。
"Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing," said Sai Weng.
塞翁說：“沒準(zhǔn)會(huì)帶來什么福氣呢。”
After a few months, his horse came back, leading a fine horse from the north.
過了幾個(gè)月，丟失的馬不僅自己回了家，還帶回一匹匈奴的駿馬。
Everyone congratulated him.
所有人都來祝賀塞翁。
"Perhaps this may turn out to be a cause of misfortune," said Sai Weng.
塞翁反而說：“這或許會(huì)帶來不幸呢。”
Since he was well-off and kept good horses, his son became fond of riding and eventually broke his leg for falling from a horse.
因?yàn)槿毯芨挥校⑶茵B(yǎng)馬養(yǎng)得很好，所以他的兒子也十分喜愛騎馬。但沒想到有一次騎馬時(shí)，他的兒子從馬上掉了下來，摔斷了腿。
Everyone commiserated with him. "Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing," said his father.

【故事解讀】
成語“塞翁失馬”如果用于英文表達(dá)，可以使用短語“blessing or bane ”，“blessing”的意思是“好運(yùn)”，“bane”的意思則是“厄運(yùn)，禍?zhǔn)?rdquo;，所以放在一起就可以表達(dá)“塞翁失馬”的意思。
但是，英文表達(dá)“blessing or bane ”常會(huì)用來單純的表示“是禍?zhǔn)歉?rdquo;的意思，比如：
Technology, a blessing or a bane? 高科技，是禍?zhǔn)歉?
