中國(guó)成語(yǔ)寓言故事08:What's the Good of Talking Much多言何益(雙語(yǔ))
One day, Zi Qin asked his master Mo Zi:
一天，子禽問(wèn)他的老師墨子:
"Master, is there any good at all of talking much?"
“老師，多說(shuō)話到底有沒(méi)有好處?”
Mo Zi thought for a while, and answered:
墨子想了一下回答說(shuō):
"If one talks too much, what good is there?"
“話要是說(shuō)得太多了，還有什么好處呢?”
Then, he told Zi Qin:
接著，又告訴子禽說(shuō):
"Toads and frogs croak and flies buzz day and night until they are parched and dry in the mouth, yet nobody listens to them. But a rooster in a chicken coop crows only a few times at dawn, and everyone knows that when it crows, daylight,is coming and the whole world will be awakened. Therefore, there is no use talking too much. What is important is to suit the words to the occasion, and say things which hit the nail on the head."
“蛤蟆、青蛙、蒼蠅白天黑夜不停地叫，叫得口干舌燥，可是卻沒(méi)有人聽(tīng)它們的。但是，雞棚里的雄雞只在黎明時(shí)啼叫兩三次，大家知道雞啼就要天亮，天下皆醒。所以，多說(shuō)話沒(méi)有什么用處，重要的是話要說(shuō)得切合時(shí)機(jī)，說(shuō)到點(diǎn)子上。”
