many occasions and successfully went to many states as an envoy.

战国时期，齐国 有个叫淳于髡的人。他幽默机智，能说会道，给齐威王出过许多好主
意，并且成功出使了许多其他的国家 。

In the year 349 BC, the State of Chu (楚国) dispatched a large force to attack Qi.

公元349年，楚国派出大批军队攻打齐国。

The king of Qi sent Chunyu Kun to the state of Zhao (赵国) to ask for help, with a lot of
valuable gifts.

齐王派淳于髡去赵国寻求帮助，于是他带着许多贵重的礼品去了赵国。

The king of Zhao accpeted the gifts gladly and sent a hundred thousand troops to help
Qi.

赵王见了礼物十分高兴，派了十万士兵去援助齐国。

The king of Chu withdrew his army that very night as soon as he got the news.

那天晚上，楚王得到这消息，马上撤回了自己的军队。

The king of Qi was released and pleased with Chunyu Kun. He set a banquet for

齐威王松了一口气，十分满意淳于髡的表现，并决定设宴为他庆功。

During the meal, the king asked Chunyu Kun,
you're drunk, Sir?

在宴会上，齐威王问淳于髡：“先生你喝多少酒会醉?”

Knowing the king had a bad habit of drinking all night, Chunyu Kun decided to take
this chance to admonish the king. So he replied,
hundred.

他幽默地回答说：“我有时喝一升酒就会醉，有时喝一百升酒才会醉。”

Puzzled, the king askked,
another ninty litres?

齐威王听了很奇怪。他问：“你喝一升已经醉了，怎么还会有喝一百升的道理呢?”

Chunyu Kun then explained that he could drink different amounts of wine under
different conditions. He said,
so drunk that you lose your sense; once joy reaches its height, then it's sorrow's turn. This
is the rule for everything. Whatever you do, you are bound to end up in the opposite
direction when you exceed the limits.

do you fly from the sky?”

青蛙惊讶地说：“天空就只有这井口这么大，你怎么会从天上来? ”

The crow says, “The sky is very big. You always stay in the well, so you don’t know the
world is big.”

乌鸦说：“天空很大。只不过你一直呆在井里，所有不知道世界很大。”

【故事三】千镜之屋

The House of 1000 Mirrors

Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000
Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived,
he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the
doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great
surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging
just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as
warm and firendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself,
will come back and visit it often.

In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one,
decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked
into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he
growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left,
he thought to himself,

All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces
of the people you meet?

很久以前的一个很远的小村庄里，有一个以千镜屋而 著名的地方。一个乐观的小狗
听说了这个地方并决定去参观。当来到这个地方，他蹦蹦跳欢恰快的上了台 阶，来到房门
口，他高高竖起耳朵，欢快地摇着尾巴，从门口口往里张望，他惊奇地看到有1000只欢
乐的小狗像他一样快的摇尾巴。他灿烂地微笑着，回报他的是1000张热情，友好的灿烂
笑脸 。离开时他心想：这是一个精彩的地主，我一定要经常来参观。

在这个村 里还有另一只想参观千镜屋的小狗，他不及第一只小狗乐观，他慢吞吞地
爬上台阶，然后耷拉着脑袋往屋 子里看。一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯着他，他便开
始冲他们狂吠，镜中的1000只小狗也冲着 他狂吠，把他给吓坏了，他在离开时心想：
这是一个恐怖的地方，我再也不会来了。

世界上所有的脸都是镜子，在你所遇见的人的脸上你看到反射出来的是什么?

【故事四】守财奴The Miser守财奴

A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in
the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen
observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon
discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold,
and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and
to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the
cause, said,
fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the
gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.

有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产，换回了金块，并秘密地埋在一个地方。他每天走去
看 看他的宝藏。有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金块拿
走了。 守财奴再来时，发现洞中的金块没有了，便捶胸痛哭。有个人见他如此悲痛，问
明原因后， 说道：“喂，朋友，别再难过了，那块金子虽是你买来的，但并不是你真正拥
有的。去拿一 块石头来，代替金块放在洞里，只要你心里想着那是块金子，你就会很高
兴。这样与你拥有 真正的金块效果没什么不同。依我之见，你拥有那金块时，也从没用
过。”

这故事说明，一切财物如不使用等于没有。
