标题Re: [文章] 击倒世界冠军的苍蝇

"The Fox and the Fly" may sound like one of Aesop's fables. But the actual
story is true, and is probably one of billiards' most often-told tales. In
1865, Louis Fox and John Deery competed in a $1,000 match in Detroit. The
23-year-old Deery was handsome, athletic, and reputed to be totally fearless
at the table. Fox, as him name implied, was a crafty veteran, known for
driving his opponents crazy with his antics at the table. After a nail-biting
struggle, Fox finally threatened to close out the match. In the midst of his
surge, according to the legend, a fly took a liking to the cue ball, and
continued to swarm around it, returning the moment the Fox took his stance.
Efforts to shoo it away proved futile, and Fox, clearly rattled, missed his
next shot. Deery proceeded to run the balls needed for victory, leaving the
beaten Fox fuming in defeat. (Flies were actually a common problem in the mid
1800's. Most pool halls were lit with open flames from gas jets. This
attracted the pests to the table, where they ultimately burned and fell onto
the cloth.) So incensed was Fox over the constant interruptions, he literally
blew after losing the match. He left the hall and plunged himself into the
Detroit River. His body wasn't recovered for almost a year.

※ 引述《iceiceblue (不知道该说什麽)》之铭言:
: 击倒世界冠军的苍蝇
: 1965 年9月7日,世界撞球冠军争夺赛在美国纽约隆重举行。
: 路易斯 ·福克斯的得分一路领先,只要再得几分就可稳拿冠军。
: 突然,他见一只苍蝇落在白球上,便挥手将苍蝇赶走了。
: 可是,当路易斯俯身击球时,那只讨厌的苍蝇又飞回到了白球上,
: 他只好再一次起身撵走苍蝇。
: 然而,就在路易斯再次俯身击球时,苍蝇第三次落到了白球上,
: 观众不由得哄堂大笑。
: 就在观众的笑声中,他的情绪一下子坏了起来。
: 而且更为糟糕的是,苍蝇好像是有意跟他作对,
: 他一回到球台,牠就又飞回到白球上来,
: 周围的观众更是笑得前仰後俯。
: 路易斯的情绪也坏到了极点,顿时失去理智,愤怒地用球杆去击打苍蝇。
: 球杆碰动了白球,裁判判他击球,他因此失去了一轮机会,
: 这使得路易斯方寸大乱,连连失利,
: 而他的对手约翰 ·迪瑞则愈战愈勇,
: 赶上并超过了他,最终夺走了冠军。
: 第二天早上,人们在河里发现了路易斯的屍体,他投河自尽了!
: 一只小小的苍蝇,居然把所向无敌的世界冠军击倒!
: 这是一场不该发生的悲剧,这不得不引起人们的震惊和反思。
: 本来,路易斯完全可以采取另一种做法,也就是,
: 击你的球,别管它。
: 当你的白球飞速奔向既定目标时,那只苍蝇还站得住吗 ?
: 它肯定不赶自走,飞得无影无踪。
: 事实是应该引起我们深思的,不管是什麽世界冠军,
: 专注太小的事情也会被击败。
: 启示:蚂蚁也能绊倒大象
: 让人们不快乐的常常是一些芝麻小事,
: 我们能避开一头大象,却躲不了一只苍蝇。
: 有人说:「花未来钱,作白日梦,买无用物,
: 忧无聊事,都是人生的『负债』。」
: 因此, 生活中有两件事要记牢:
: 第一,勿为小事忧;
: 第二, 事事皆小事。
