Writing characteristics of "Two Children's Debate Day":
1. The language is concise and reasonable.
2. Be good at using metaphors. For example, when writing about the phenomenon of "the distance and proximity of the sun", one side starts from the visual point of view, using two metaphors "like a car cover" and "like a pan" to specify the size of the shape of the sun, and combines "the beginning of the day" and "the middle of the day" to explain the reason for the conclusion. Starting from feelings, one side compares "like exploring soup", combined with "the beginning of the day" and "the middle of the day", and also makes the reason clear. Because the author is good at using metaphors, the language is vivid and convincing, and it is very easy for people to understand and accept.
Confucius traveled to the East and saw two children arguing on the way. Just ask them what they're debating.
One child said, "I think the sun is close to people when it comes out, but far away at noon." Another child thinks that the sun is far away at the beginning of the day and close at noon.
The former child said, "When the sun first comes out, it is as big as the canopy of a car, and at noon it is as small as the mouth of a plate and bowl. ”
Another child said, "When the sun first comes out, it is cool and cool, and at noon it is so hot that it is like putting your hand into hot water. ”
When Confucius listened, he couldn't judge who was right and who was wrong. The two children laughed and said, "Who said you are wise? ”

When the sun first comes out, it is as big as the canopy of a car, and at noon the sun is like an ancient vessel for holding objects. Another child said, "When the sun first comes out, it feels cool and slightly chilly, but at noon (noon) it feels like putting your hand into hot water.
Confucius listened and could not decide who was right and who was wrong. The two children laughed and said, "Who says you're well-informed?" ”

01 The original text of "Two Children's Debate Day": Confucius traveled eastward, saw two children arguing, and asked why. (Debate 1:
Debate Day). A son said: "I go near at the beginning of the sunrise, and I am far away in the middle of the day."
A son said: "I am far away at the beginning of the day, and the middle of the day is near." "Yi'er said:
The sunrise is as big as the car cover, and the middle of the day is like a pan, this is not for the far small and the near is big? A son said: "The beginning of the day is cool, and the middle of the day is like a soup, this is not hot for the near and cold for the far?"
Confucius couldn't decide. The two children smiled and said, "Who knows more about you?"
02 Translation of "Two Children's Debate Day": When Confucius traveled eastward, he saw two children arguing on the way, and asked them why they were arguing. A little kid said
I think the sun is close to people at the beginning of the day, and far away at noon. Another child, on the other hand, thought that the sun was farther away from people at the beginning of its rise and closer at noon. A child said
When the sun first rises, it's as big as the lid of a car, but at noon it's as small as a plate. Another child said, "When the sun first comes out, it feels very cool, but at noon it is so hot that you put your hand in hot water.
After Confucius heard this, he couldn't judge which of the two of them was right and which was wrong. The two children smiled and said to Confucius, "Who said you are very knowledgeable?
03 The reason why the two children have different views is because they see things from different angles: one starts from the visual point of view, using the metaphor of "like a car cover" and "like a pan", vividly writing the size of the shape of the sun; The other starts from the sense of touch, using the metaphor of "like exploring the soup" to vividly write about the scorching heat of the sun at noon.
04 Due to the large angle of irradiation of the sun at noon, the surface of the earth receives more heat energy, so the temperature is higher; In the morning, the irradiation angle is small, so the temperature is low. As for the sun, "big in the morning, small at noon", it is completely a visual illusion, because the background is small and dark in the morning, so the sun feels bigger, and at noon, there is a vast and bright sky as the background of the sun, and it seems that the sun is smaller than in the morning.
