What this represents is the difference between, say, giving one fish or giving a fishing rod to someone starving in the context of a recession. If you give him one fish, his hunger can indeed be quenched a little by him eating it. If you think about it a little more, however, you see that it is better to give him a fishing rod and teach him how to fish. That way, he can fish again and again in the sea or river and eat the fish he catches each time.発音を聞く 例文帳に追加
