中国经典寓言故事两则 中国经典寓言故事：意怠免患 According to legend, there was a kind of birds called dais swallow on the East China Sea. 传说，东海上有一种叫做“意怠”的鸟。 The Yidais were slow in reaction. They could not fly very high and seemed clumsy and incapable. 意怠反应比较迟钝，不能高飞，似乎笨拙无能。 But when they moved about, they always moved in groups, depended on one another for survival, and flew and landed together. 但是，它们行动的时候，总是成群结队，相依为命，一起飞翔，一起降落。 When they advanced, no one dared to advance rashly.

In fact, there are very few Confucian scholars in the State of Lu. “情况不是您说的那样，事实上儒生在鲁国很少。” Hearing this, Ai Gong replied by asking a question: 哀公听了，反问说: How can you say there are very few Confucian scholars in the State of Lu, when all the people in the state wear the clothes of Confucian scholars? “鲁国上上下下，都穿着儒生的衣服，怎么能说儒生少呢?” Zhuang Zi said: 庄子说: I hear that Confucian scholars who wear round-shaped hats understand the weather and climate; those who wear square-shaped shoes understand geography; those who wear colourful jade can make prompt decisions in dealing with matters. But people who really have the particular kind of knowledge do not necessarily wear the very
