[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]Once, Chun Yukun recommended seven able and [b]virtuous[/b] scholars to King Xuan of theState of Qi.[/p][/font][font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]一次,厚于凳给齐宣王推荐了七名贤士。[/p]
[/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]King Xuan was surprised and said: "I heard that [b]talented[/b] people are hard to find.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]齐宣王觉得奇怪,说: “我听说,人才是很难得的。[/p]
[/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]If one able and [b]virtuous[/b] scholar can be found within a [b]circumference[/b] of 1, 000 li, itcannot be regarded as few.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]在一千里方圆以内,能选到一名贤士,就不算少了。[/p]
[/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]If 100 years witnesses the advent of a [b]saint[/b], it cannot be regarded as few.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]一百年以内,能发现一个圣人,也不算少了。[/p]
[/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]Now you [b]recommend[/b] seven able and [b]virtuous[/b] scholars all at once, then there are toomany able and [b]virtuous[/b] scholars."[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]你一次就推荐了七名贤士,贤士也太多了。”[/p]
[/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]Chun Yukun said: "Birds of the same [b]feather[/b] always [b]flock[/b] together. Wild beasts of thesame kind always walk together.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]淳于凳说:“同类的鸟总是聚集在一起,同类的野兽也总是一道行走。[/p]
[/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]For example, if we wish to find medicinal herbs like the root of Chinese thorowax and theroot of balloonflower on the [b]marsh[/b], we will never find even one in our whole life.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]比如说,我们要寻找柴胡和桔梗这类药草,到沼泽地去找,就是找一辈子也找不到一株。[/p]
[/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]But if we go to the north side of the Zeshu Mountain and the Liangfu Mountain, w[size=12px]e[/size]
[size=12px]will[/size][size=12px]need[/size]
[size=12px]carts[/size]
[size=12px]to[/size]
[size=12px]carry[/size]
[size=12px]them[/size]
[size=12px]back[/size][size=12px].[/size][/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]但是如果到泽黍山、梁父山的北面去找,那就要用大车去拉了。[/p]
[/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]In the world, things of the same kind always [b]gather[/b] together, and it is the same withpeople.[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]天下的事物都是同类相聚的,人也是这样。[/p]
[/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]If you want me to select able and [b]virtuous[/b] scholars, it will be like getting water from theriver, or getting fire from a [b]flint[/b].[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]你要我淳于凳挑选贤士,就好比到河里去打水,用火石去打火一样。[/p]
[/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]What is so strange about that?[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]有什么好奇怪的呢?[/p]
[/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]I am going to [b]recommend[/b] another big batch of able and [b]virtuous[/b] scholars to you, farmore than these seven."[/p][/font]
[font=verdana,][p=30, 2, left]我正准备再给你推荐一大批贤士,何止这七个呢!”[/p]
