A few days later，a small opening appearedhe sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole . then it seemed to stop making any progrom EEM几天后，茧炸开了一个小缝隙。老人在那里坐了几个小时，看着蝴蝶挣扎，把自己的身体从小缝里挤出来。后来蝴蝶好像破茧停止了，没有进展。蝴蝶好像坚持到了最后，好像不能再前进了。

then the man decided to help the butterfly，so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocon。看到这里，老人决定帮助蝴蝶。所以他找了一把剪刀，把茧的其余部分剪了下来。

The butterfly then emerged easily。这样蝴蝶很容易从茧中挣脱出来。

But it had a swollen body and small，shriveled wings . The man continued to watch The butterfly because he expected that，at any moment，thheIn fact，the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings。但是蝴蝶的身体肿了，翅膀又小又皱。老人继续观察蝴蝶。因为蝴蝶的翅膀变大了，可以支撑身体，蝴蝶的身体也期待减少。但是什么都没发生。事实上，这只蝴蝶余生只能拖着肥大的身体和萎缩的翅膀爬行。

It never was able to fly。永远不能飞。

what the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through th E th E the在亲切和匆忙之间，老人不理解蝴蝶破茧而出时所需的束缚和挣扎自然是将蝴蝶的体液挤出翅膀的方法。所以蝴蝶从茧中逃出来后，就准备飞了。(阿尔伯特爱因斯坦，Northern Exposure)。
