Translation of the classical Chinese Ai Zi Wandering in the Suburbs .

Aizi went to the suburbs to play, and his students Tongzi and Zhizi followed him, Aizi was very thirsty and asked Zhizi to go to the farmhouse to beg for water. There was an old man reading a book at the right door, and the deaconist asked for water, and the old man pointed to the word "true" in the book and said, "If you know this word, I will give you water."

Zhizi: "Read the truth. The old man was furious and refused to give him water, and Zhizi came back and told Aizi.

Ai Zi said: "The deacon has not done anything, and Tongzi should go." Tongzi went to see the old man of Aizi, and the old man pointed out the words to him like he had faced the deacon, and Tongzi said:

These are the two words 'straight eight'. The old man was very happy, and took out the fine wine brewed at home and gave it to him, and Ai Zi drank it and felt that the wine was very sweet, and said, "Tongzi is so smart!"

If I'm as serious as a sticker, I won't even be able to drink a spoonful of water. ”

The neighbors of Aizi are all contemptible.

Hearing a person say to each other: "I and the Minister of Qi, both people and the spirit of the three talents, why do they have a section of swift and prudent wisdom, and I have no wisdom?" One said: "That day eats meat, so."

Youchang Ran Zhi; I usually eat coarse rice (coarse rice, coarse grains. So less wisdom also. The questioner said: "I am suitable to have 粜 (pronounced tiao four tones. Sell grain. Millet.

Thousands, Gu and Ru Ri eat meat to try it. ”

A few days later, Fu heard the two of them say to each other: "After eating meat, I have a clear mind, I have wisdom in touching things, I am not wise in vain, and I can be reasonable." One of them said, "I."

Looking at the face of people's feet, it is very convenient for the front to come out, if the back is not practiced by the successors? One of them said: "I have also seen people's noses, and it is very good to go down, and if it goes up, it will not be rain."

Note? "The two are commensurate with their wit.

Ai Zi sighed: "Meat eaters are as wise as this! ”

Translation: My neighbors are all rough people from the Qi country.

I heard a person (talking to someone) say, "The officials I deal with are all people who are endowed with the aura of the three talents (heaven, earth, and man), why is he?"

We have wisdom and I don't? Another said, "They eat meat every day, so they are wise; I usually eat whole grains, so I don't have much wisdom. ”

The questioner said, "I have a few thousand dollars to sell grain." ), hold the respect, and give you a try to eat meat every day. ”

A few days later, I heard the two of them chat: "Since I ate meat, my thinking is clear and insightful, and I have the ability to solve problems when I encounter them, not only solve them."

The wisdom of the question can also profoundly ** the truth. Another person said, "I see that the surface of a person's foot is appropriate to stick out from the front, but not to the back if it is stretched out from the back."

Are you going to be stepped on by someone coming from behind? The man said, "I also see that the nostrils of a man grow well downward, and if they go up, will they not be filled with rain from heaven?" ”

The two call each other smart.

I sighed, "Meat-eaters are only so intellectual!" ”

The answer of the superior.
