heard about it,
he applied for the post.
有一次，宣王招聘乐师。
南郭先生听到了这消息，就前往应聘。
nanguo was not a musician at all. he had applied
for the post
simply because he was poor
and it paid well.
南郭先生其实不会
吹竽
。他应聘的原因，是因为他家贫，兼且乐师的待遇又丰厚。
nanaguo was lucky. nobody knew he was faking. his
luck did
not last long, though, because
king xuan soon died and young
prince
min became king.

可是好景不常，宣王
不久去世，闵王继位。

enjoyed listening to the yu. unlike his father, he
preferred listening to the musicians
playing solo. as soons as
nanguo got
wind of the news, he sneaked away as fast as he
could.

郭氏之墟
(the
ruin of the capital of guo shi)
on a vacation trip, duke huan of the
state of qi came to the
ruin of the
capital of guo shi , which perished long
ago.
seeing the desolate
and bleak prospects of broken tiles,
collapsed walls, and clusters of weeds,
he could not help
asking the local
people about the reason of the ruin of guo
shi.
they replied,guo shi
was fond of doing good deeds, and
averse to evildoing, which led to the
perdition.
when the duke
could not understand the answer, people
explained , though he liked doing good,
he had never been
able to do so; though
he hated evildoing, never could he help
not participating. that caused the ruin
of his capital.
齐桓公出游途中，来到已经灭亡许久的郭氏都城的废墟。
看到瓦砾残垣、杂草丛生的萧条景象，忍不住问当地百姓郭氏
灭亡
的原因。
百姓们回答说：郭氏由于喜爱善行善事。厌恶邪恶丑行而导致灭亡。
齐桓公不能理解这种回答，百姓们便解释说：郭氏虽然喜爱善
行善
事，但从来都不能做到；尽管厌恶邪恶丑行，却总是忍不住参与其
< br>中。这就是他的都城变成废墟的原因。

老鼠和公牛
(a mouse and a
bull)
a mouse once took a
bite out of a bulls tail as he lay dozing.
the bull jumped up in a rage and, with
his head low to the
ground, chased the
mouse right across the yard. the mouse
was too quick for him, however, and
slipped easily into a hole
in the wall.
the bull charged the wall furiously again and
again,
but although he bruised his head
and chipped his horns, the
mouse stayed
safely inside his hole. after a time the bull gave
up and sank down to rest
again.
2
as soon as the bull was asleep, the
little mouse crept to the
mouth of the
hole, pattered across the yard, bit the bull again
--
this time on the nose -- and rushed
back to safety. as the bull
roared
helplessly the mouse squeaked:
its not always the big people who come
off best. sometimes
the small ones win,
you know.

鼠，一直追过院子。然而，老鼠跑得比他快多
了，从容地钻到墙洞里去了。
公牛一次又一次地猛撞墙壁，尽管头撞肿了，角
撞裂了，老鼠却安
然待在洞里。过了一会儿，公牛不撞了，倒下歇着。
< br>
公牛刚睡着，小老鼠就爬到洞口，嗒嗒地跑过院子，
又咬了公牛一
口
??
这回咬了鼻子
??

方去。当公牛毫无办法地吼
