：遠走高飛
Tian Rao had served Ai Gong, King of the State of Lu, for many years, but he was never appointed to any important position.
田饒雖然服侍魯哀公多年，但是仍然沒有受到重用。
One day, Tian Rao said to Ai Gong of Lu: "I am going to leave Your Majesty, and fly high and far to distant places like the swan goose."
有一天，田饒對魯哀公說: “我要離開大王，像鴻雁那樣遠走高飛。”
"What do you mean?" asked Ai Gong.
魯哀公說:“你這是什麼意思?”
Tian Rao replied: "Haven't Your Majesty seen a rooster before?
田饒回答說:“大王難道沒有見過雄雞嗎?
It has a red cockscomb on its head and looks very elegant.
它頭上戴著紅冠，非常文雅。
It has sharp claws on its feet and is of martial bearing.
腳上有鋒利的爪子，格外英武。
When facing enemies, it is very brave and vigorous and fights to the bitter end.
面對敵人敢打敢拼，十分勇猛。
When it fords food, it will call its pals to enjoy together, and is very kind.
看見食物就呼喚同伴一道享用，多麼仁義。
It keeps watch during the night and crows at dawn, never bungles matters and is very honest.
晚上守夜，黎明報曉，從來不會誤事，極其誠實!
Though the rooster has these five merits, Your Majesty still order your subordinates to cook it for food.
雄雞雖然有這五種長處，可是大王還是命令手下人把它煮了吃。
Why is that so? Because it is near to Your Majesty."
為什麼會這樣呢?因為它就在大王身邊啊!”
Tian Rao paused and then continued: "As to the swan goose, its one flight covers I，000 li.
田饒頓了頓，接著說: “至於那鴻雁，一飛就是千里。
Sometimes it stops by Your Majesty's pools, and eats your fish and soft-shelled turtles.
有時停在大王的水池邊，吃大王的魚鱉。
Sometimes it stops in Your Majesty's fields and pecks your beans and grains.
有時停在大王的田園裡，啄大王的豆類和穀物。
Though it does not have the merits of the rooster, Your Majesty still regard it highly because it is far away from you.
儘管它沒有雄雞的長處，可是大王還是很器重它。
Therefore, please permit me to fly high and far to distant places like the swan goose."
這是因為它離大王遠啊，所以請允許我也像鴻雁一樣遠走高飛了吧!”
：螳螂捕蟬
Once, the King of the State of Wu wanted to invade the State of Chu.
一次，吳王要進攻楚國。
The King of Wu warned his ministers: "If anyone should dare to dissuade me from invading Chu again, I will put him to death."
吳王警告他的大臣們說: “有誰再敢來勸阻我進攻楚國，我就處死他。”
One young hanger-on of his wanted to dissuade him but didn't dare.
吳王的門客中有一個年青人，想去勸阻但又不敢。
He carried a slingshot, and for three consecutive days paced up and down in the King's back garden.
他懷裡揣著彈弓，一連三個早晨在吳工的後花園裡徘徊。
The dew wetted his clothes all through.
露水溼透了他的衣服。
One day, the King of Wu called him:"The dew has wetted your clothes to such a state.
一天，吳王叫住他:“露水把你的衣服溼成這個樣子。
Why should you bear such hardship?"
你何必吃這個苦呢?”
The young man replied: "There is a cicada on a tree in this garden.
年青人回答說: “這個園子裡，有一棵樹，樹上有一隻蟬。
The cicada is high above, chirping leisurely and taking in the dew freely, not knowing that a mantis is right behind it.
蟬高高在上，悠閒地叫著，自由自在地吸著露水，卻不知道有一隻蝗螂在它身後呢!
The mantis, pressing its body close in a concealed place, is intent on catching the cicada, not knowing that a siskin is hiding right behind it.
蝗螂把身子緊緊地貼在隱蔽的地方，只想去捕蟬，卻不知道有一隻黃雀早已躲在它的身後呢!
The siskin is stretching out its neck to peck at the mantis, not knowing that a man carrying a slingshot is under it.
黃雀正伸長了脖子想去啄蝗螂，卻不知道在它下面正有人拿著彈弓呢!
These three small creatures make every effort only to get the benefit before them but ignore entirely the disaster behind."
這三隻小生物，只是力求得到它們眼前的利益，卻全不管它們身後隱伏著禍患啊!”
Having heard the young man's words, the King of Wu suddenly saw the light and said: "What you said is right!"
吳王聽了年青人的話後，恍然大悟說: “你說得好啊!”
Consequently, the King of Wu dropped his plan to invade the State of Chu.
於是，吳王就不再進攻楚國了。
：葉公好龍
Ye Gong was well-known for his fondness for dragons:
葉公喜歡龍，已經出了名了。
In the house where he lived, dragons were painted on the walls and carved on the pillars and the four walls of his bedroom.
他住的屋子裡，牆上畫著龍，柱子上雕著龍，臥室四面的牆壁上也刻著龍。
There were dragons everywhere, up and down, front and back, with each dragon baring its teeth and brandishing its claws.
上上下下，前前後後，到處都是龍，一條條張牙舞爪。
In the heavens there was a real dragon.
天上有一條真的龍。
It was very happy to hear that Ye Gong was so fond of dragons.
聽說葉公這樣喜歡龍，高興極了。
One day, the sky suddenly darkened, and then came wind, thunder and rain.
有一天，天空突然暗了下來，又是颳風，又是打雷，又是下雨。
The real dragon flew to Ye Gong's home.
真龍飛到了葉公的家裡。
It poked its head into the window in the south and coiled its tail to the window in the north, rocking and rattling the whole house.
它把頭伸進了南面的視窗，把尾巴繞到了北面的視窗，把整個屋子搖得格格直響。
At the sight of this real dragon, Ye Gong was frightened out of his wits.
葉公看到這條真龍，一下子嚇得魂飛魄散。
He trembled all over and hurriedly hid himself.
渾身發抖，急忙躲了起來。
So it turned out that what Ye Gong liked was painted and carved fake dragons but not real ones.
原來，葉公喜歡的只是那些畫著、雕著的假龍，而不是真龍!
