　　掩耳盜鈴

　　During the Spring and Autumn period, Nobleman ZhiBo of the Jin state eliminated the Fan clan [in battle]. There was a person who sought to take advantage of the defeated [and thus absent] Fan clan to steal some things from their house, and he saw that in their yard dangled a large bell. The bell was molded from the finest bronze, its shape and design were very fine indeed. The thief was extremely happy, thinking to take this refined bell and carry it back to his own house. But the bell was both big and heavy, and howsoever he tried, he couldn’t move it. He thought and thought, and came up with just one solution, which was to break the bell to bits, then take the pieces separately back to his house.

　　The thief found a sledgehammer, and swung at the bell with all his might. A loud “gong” sound rang out, startling the thief. The thief panicked, thinking this [enterprise] was spoiled, thinking “that kind of noise is tantamount to telling people that I’m here stealing the bell, isn’t it?” He was worried, and he flung is body at the bell, stretching his arms around it to try to still the sound, but really how could he stop it? The sound went on and on, ringing far and wide.

　　The longer he heard it, the more afraid he became, and withdrew his hands to press them against his ears with all his strength. “Yi, the sound has lessened, I can’t hear it anymore!” The thief became happy again, “How wonderful! If I cover my ears well, the sound can’t be heard!” covered his ears well, he couldn’t hear the sound at all! He immediately found two pieces of cloth and stopped up his ears, thinking that this way, no one else could hear the bell’s sound either. So he began smashing the bell, hitting it again and again, the ringing of the bell being heard even in far away places. People heard the bells sounds and came in great numbers, catching the thief.

　　春秋時侯，晉國貴族智伯滅掉了範氏。有人趁機跑到範氏家裡想偷點東西，看見院子裡吊著一口大鐘。鍾是用上等青銅鑄成的，造型和圖案都很精美。小偷心裡高興極了，想把這口精美的大鐘揹回自已家去。可是鍾又大又重，怎麼也挪不動。他想來想去，只有一個辦法，那就是把鐘敲碎，然後再分別搬回家。

　　小偷找來一把大大錘，拼命朝鐘砸去，咣的一聲巨響，把他嚇了一大跳。小偷著慌，心想這下糟了，這種聲不就等於是告訴人們我正在這裡偷鍾嗎?他心裡一急，身子一下子撲到了鐘上，張開雙臂想捂住鐘聲，可鐘聲又怎麼捂得住呢!鐘聲依然悠悠地傳向遠方。

　　他越聽越害怕，不同自由地抽回雙手，使勁捂住自已的耳朵。“咦，鐘聲變小了，聽不見了!”小偷高興起來，“妙極了!把耳朵捂住不住就聽不進鐘聲了嗎!”他立刻找來兩個布團，把耳朵塞住，心想，這下誰也聽不見鐘聲了。於是就放手砸起鍾來，一下一下，鐘聲響亮地傳到很遠的地方。人們聽到鐘聲蜂擁而至把小偷捉住了。

　　南轅北轍的故事

　　Long ago, there was a man traveling from the Kingdom of Wei to the Kingdom of Chu. He took a lot of traveling money with him, hired a good carriage, harnessed it to a strong steed, hired an exquisitely skilled driver, and then began his journey. The Kingdom of Chu was to the south of the Kingdom of Wei, but this man couldn’t tell the difference when the driver rode away towards the north.

　　On the road, a passing traveler asked where they were going. The man loudly answered, “We’re going to the Kindom of Chu!”. The traveler told him, “If you’re going to Chu, you should go south. You’re going north, it’s the wrong direction.” The man unconcernedly replied, “No problem! My horse is very fast.” Worried for him, the traveler pulled at the horse, and warned, “You’re going the wrong way. Even if your horse was even faster than it is, you still won’t reach the Kingdom of Chu!” Still not seeing the truth, the man said, “Don’t worry, I’ve brought a lot of money with me.” Making a concerted effort to dissuade him, the traveler said, “Though you may have a lot of money, you’re still going the wrong direction, and your money will be spent in vain.” Thinking of nothing other than getting to the Kingdom of Chu, the man impatiently said, “It’s not a problem, my driver is extremely skilled!” Out of options, the traveler let go of the carriage and watched helplessly as the aimless man from Wu rode away.

　　The man from Wu didn’t listen to anyone’s exhortations, relying on his fast horse, his money, his driver’s skill and many other favorable conditions, and obstinately continued to go in the opposite direction. Doing this, he could only continue to get further and further away from his goal, because his overall direction was wrong.

　　This story tells us, no matter what the situation is, we’d better first be sure we’re going the right way, and only then can we fully employ our other advantages, otherwise those advantages will just cause us pain

　　從前有一個人，從魏國到楚國去。他帶上很多的盤纏，僱了上好的車，駕上駿馬，請了駕車技術精湛的車伕，就上路了。楚國在魏國的南面，可這個人不問青紅皁白讓駕車人趕著馬車一直向北走去。

　　路上有人問他的車是要往哪兒去，他大聲回答說: “去楚國!”路人告訴他說: “到楚國去應往南方走，你這是在往北走，方向不對。那人滿不在乎地說:”沒關係，我的馬快著呢!” 路人替他著急，拉住他的馬，阻止他說, “方向錯了，你的馬再快，也到不了楚國呀!” 那人依然毫不醒悟地說: “不要緊，我帶的路費多著呢!” 路人極力勸阻他說:“雖說你路費多，可是你走的不是那個方向，你路費多也只能白花呀!” 那個一心只想著要到楚國去的人有些不耐煩地說: “這有什麼難的，我的車伕趕車的本領高著呢!” 路人無奈，只好鬆開了拉住車把子的手，眼睜睜看著那個盲目上路的魏人走了。

　　那個魏國人，不聽別人的指點勸告，仗著自己的馬快、錢多、車伕好等優越條件，朝著相反方向一意孤行。那麼，他條件越好，他就只會離要去的地方越遠，因為他的大方向錯了。

　　這個故事告訴我們，無論做什麼事，都要首先看準方向，才能發充分揮自己的有利條件;如果方向錯了，那麼有利條件只會起到相反的作用。

　　脹肚的狐狸

　　The bulging belly fox

　　A hungry Fox found in a hollow tree a quantity of bread and meat, which some shepherds had placed there against their return. Delighted with his find he slipped in through the narrow aperture and greedily devoured it all. But when he tried to get out again he found himself so swollen after his big meal that he could not squeeze through the hole, and fell to whining and groaning over his misfortune. Another Fox, happening to pass that way, came and asked him what the matter was; and, on learning the state of the case, said, “Well, my friend, I see nothing for it but for you to stay where you are till you shrink to your former size; you’ll get out then easily enough.”

　　脹肚的狐狸

　　飢餓的狐狸在一棵中空的樹幹中發現了一些牧羊人存留的麵包和肉。高興之餘，他立即通過那狹窄的縫隙擠進去，貪婪的大吃起來。然而，當他吃飽之後，卻發現自己的肚子脹鼓鼓的，即便費了九牛二虎之力，卻怎麼也鑽不出那個洞來，便在樹洞裡唉聲嘆氣。另一隻狐狸恰巧經過那裡，聽到他的呻吟，便過去問他原因。聽明白緣由後，那隻狐狸便說道：“我的朋友，你就老老實實待在裡邊吧，等到恢復了鑽進去之前的身材，你就能輕鬆地出來了。”
