典 故
  从前有个人看书的时候,总会把书中文章大声念出来,可是他从来不动脑筋想一想书中的道理,还自以为看了很多书,懂得许多道理。有一天,他参加朋友的聚会,大家边吃边聊,其中有一位客人感慨地说:“这世上很少有两全其美的事,就拿吃水果来说,梨对牙齿很好,但是吃了伤胃;枣子能健胃,可惜吃多了会伤牙齿。”大家都觉得很有道理。 这个人为了表现自己的聪明,就接下去说:“这很简单嘛!吃梨子时不要吃进果肉,就不会伤胃;吃枣子时用吞的,就不会伤牙啦!”这时桌上正好有一盘枣子,他便拿起枣子打算直接吞下去。大家怕他噎到,连忙劝他说:“千万别吞,卡在喉咙多危险呀!”
  原文:
  客有曰:"梨益齿而损脾,枣益脾而损齿。"一呆弟子思久之,曰:"我食梨则嚼而不咽,不能伤我之脾;我食枣则吞而不嚼,不能伤我之齿。"狎者曰:"你真是囫囵吞却一个枣也。"遂绝倒。
  ——《湛渊静语》
  白王廷(1248-?),字廷玉,钱塘(今浙江杭州)人,善诗文和书法,官至儒学副提举,晚年归老栖霞,自号"栖霞山人"。门前有泉水流过,因此把居室取名为"湛渊",并且以此自号。著有《湛渊静语》、《湛渊集》。《湛渊静语》今存2卷,是一本杂记集。

成语故事
  囫囵吞枣成语故事 > 囫囵吞枣
  有个人曾经对人们说:“吃一点梨,对人的牙齿有好处,但是吃多了,会伤脾的;枣呢,正好与之相反,虽然可以健脾,但吃多了会对牙齿有害。” 听的人中一个人听了,想了想,说:“吃梨时,只嚼不咽,还会伤脾吗?吃枣时,我不嚼,一口吞下去,这不就可以保护牙齿了吗?” 另一个年轻人听他这么一说,就想开个玩笑:“你这不是囫囵吞下枣吗?”周围在场的人都笑了。
  读后:我们学习知识时不能囫囵吞枣,首先把要学的知识理解清楚,然后再认真去掌握它。如果学知识只是笼统地学,就不会学到真正的知识。
