嗟来之食

春秋时齐国发生饥荒,有人在路上施舍饮食, 对一个饥饿的人说“嗟,来食”, 饥饿的人说, 我就是不吃“嗟来之食”。终于不食而死 (见于《礼记·檀弓》)。后泛指带有侮辱性的施舍。
a handout(施舍); Hand－out Food

有一年，齐国发生了特大的饥荒。
One year, there was a great famine in the State of Qi.
One year, the State of Qi saw a great famine.
有个富人，名叫黔敖。他在大路旁边设摊，摆了许多食物，等饥饿的人来了，就施舍给他们。
有个富人，名叫黔敖：可以处理成一个句子↓
Once there was a rich man named（whose name was）Qian’ao.
也可以处理成一个短语，去掉后面的“他”，做后面句子的主语。↓
Once a man by the name of Qian’ao set up a stall by the side of a road with a lot of food and handed out some of it to hungry people who / when they came to him.
不一会儿，一个饿得发慌的人，用衣袖蒙着头，用绳子绑着鞋，昏昏沉沉地走了过来。
After a short while, a starving man walked over in a befuddled way, with his head covered by his sleeve and his shoes tied up with strings.
黔敖见了，左手捧着食物，右手拿着茶水，吆喝道：“喂！来吃个饱吧！”
When Qian’ao saw this, he held food in his left hand and tea in his right hand, shouting: "Hey, come and eat your fill."
那个人猛地抬起头来，双眼圆睁，生气地说：“我就是因为不吃这种人家吆喝施舍的食物，才饿到这种地步的啊！”
The man raised his head suddenly, with his eyes wide open, and said angrily: “It is exactly because I don't take the food other people hand out to me by shouting that I have starved to such an extent!"
黔敖一听，连忙向他表示歉意。但那人终于因为不肯吃他的东西而饿死了。
At this, Qian’ao quickly apologized to the man. But eventually the man starved to death because he was unwilling to take his food.
