285．不要死于他人之厄运
不要死于他人之厄运。注意观察那些身陷泥坑之人，看他们是如何求助从而找到灾难中的同伴以作安慰的。他们寻找别人以分担不幸，在这时候伸出援手的，往往是那些在他们好运之时不攀附他们的人。如果想要帮助快被淹死的人，而不危及自己，就要特别小心。
285．Never die of another's ill-luck
Never die of another's ill-luck. Notice those who stick in the mud, and observe how they call others to their aid so as to console themselves with a companion in misfortune. They seek someone to help them to bear misfortune, and often those who turned the cold shoulder on them in prosperity give them now a helping hand. There is great caution needed in helping the drowning without danger to oneself.
