中国经典成语故事阅读 中国经典成语故事：专治驼背 In the past, a man claimed to be a specialist in curing hunchbacks. His signboard read: 从前，有个人自称“专治驼背”，他的招牌上写着: I specialize in curing hunchbacks. No matter whether you are hunchbacked like a bow, a shrimp, a basket for rinsing rice or a rice pot, I guarantee that once I start treatment, your hunchback will be cured. “本人专治驼背，无论你驼得像弓，像虾，像淘箩，像饭锅，凡是经我医治，保证手到病除。” One hunchback saw the signboard, believed it to be true, and asked for treatment. 有一个驼背，看到招牌，果然信以为真，就请他医治。 The doctor neither gave any prescription, nor let the patient take any medicine.

Its none of my business whether he is dead or alive. “我只管把他的驼背弄直，哪能管他的死活!” 中国经典成语故事：凿壁移痛 A man in a village had a sore on his foot which bled and oozed pus.

In this way, no matter how painful it is, it doesnt concern me any more! “让它痛到
