Give a fish or teach to fish? 授人以鱼还是授人以渔?

幫助别人基本上有两种方法: 一种是给东西, 另一种是给方法. 对一个需要帮助的人来说, 当然给东西最实惠, 但是根本解决问题的还是给方法. 这樣的说法汉语可说:

授人以鱼, 不如授人以渔! 相对应的美语是:

1. 　It's better to teach one how to fish than giving him fish.

此外，类似的说法，美语中还有

２．Give a man a fish and he will be full today. Teach a man to fish and he will

drink beer all year.

3. 　Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he

will sit in a boat and drink beer all day. ~Author Unknown
