本是同根生， 相煎何太急

· 句意 ·

豆子和豆秸秆本是同根所生，何必急迫地相互残害呢？

说明兄弟之情的可贵，不能因争权夺利而相互残害。

· 英译 ·

Beans and beanstalks are born from the same root， why do they hurry to kill each other so much?

To appreciate the value of love between brothers and to negate the mutual killing aroused by scrambling for power and profit.
