(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

James and John were good friends. For many years, James has had complete trust in John.

At the beginning, James invited John to manage his housekeeping, and when he was serving as a governor, he invited John to assist him with his business. Because James trusted John completely, he kept nothing from him.

James did not realize how despicable John was until John usurped¹ all his property, which James dared not disclose, considering that John had gotten told of his demerits. The depressed² James came to the Cheng Huang Temple, having no alternative, to vent³ his anger, and accused John for his wrongdoing.

At night, James dreamed that Cheng Huang asked him why he trusted John so much he thought for a long time, and replied, "Because he can make everything go as I have wished." Cheng Huang said, "Such a man is the most dangerous! You do not fear him but like him, making you the best choice for him to deceive?"

甲和乙是好朋友多年以来，甲对乙一直很信任。

甲诸事都不提防。当自己的全部家产都被乙侵吞时，甲发现乙是一个卑鄙的小人，考虑到自己有把柄被乙捏住，甲还不敢声张，郁闷难申的甲为了发泄心中的怒气，万般无奈的来到城隍庙，告了乙一状。

晚上，甲梦见城隍问自己为什么如此信任乙，甲思索半天，回答说。：“因为他事事都能如我意。”城隍说：“这种人最可怕，你不怕他而喜欢他？他不骗你又能骗谁呢？”
