During the Song and Ming Dynasties,Confucian morality became fashionable.
宋朝、明朝時期，道學成了一種時髦，
Many people vied with one another to imitate the poise of a moralist.
很多人都爭著模仿道學家的風度。
There was one Confucian moralist who went to the city.On the street,he walked respectfully withmeasured strides,
有一位道學先生進城去，走在大路上，
his back arched and his hands behind his back. He took every step according to the acceptedangle and length.
弓著腰，揹著手，恭恭敬敬地踱著四方步，每一步都不超過規定的角度和距離。
As he walked and walked,he felt his back aching,and was entirely exhausted. He lookedaround,then turned to his servant and whispered:
他走著走著，覺得腰痠背痛，疲憊不堪，左右張望一番，又回頭小聲問僕人:
“Take a look. Is there anyone behind?”
“看看，後頭有沒有人?”
The servant replied:“No.”
僕人回答:“沒有。”
At this moment,the Confucian moralist at once straightened up,heaved a sigh of relief andbegan to walk unbridledly with long strides.
這時候，這位道學先生馬上直起腰桿，長吁一口氣，跨開大步，放肆地走起路來。
Another Confucian moralist was walking slowly on the road with measured strides,when blackclouds suddenly rolled in the sky and heavy rain began to pour.
又有一位道學先生，正在路上慢慢地踱著四方步。突然間天空烏雲翻滾，下起了傾盆大雨。
He dashed hurriedly for over one li.All of a sudden, he exclaimed with regret:
他慌忙奔逃，跑了一里多路。忽然，他“哎呀”一聲，後悔地說:
“Too bad! I have erred! But a gentleman corrects his error as soon as he is aware of it, and it isnot too late yet.”
“不好，我失誤了。君子知錯就改，為時不晚。”
Consequently,braving the rain,he returned to the place where he started running and began towalk slowly again,step by step with measured strides.
於是，他冒著雨退回到剛才起跑的地方，重新開始一步一步地踱起四方步來。
