不合时宜

In the State of Lu, there was a couple of husband and wife, the former being an expert shoemaker and the latter a skilled hand in wearing taffeta. One day after consultations they decided to go to the state of Yue to earn a livelihood. The neighbors advised them not to go when they learned about their plan. "Don't go there," said one neighbor, "If you go, you can never earn a livelihood."

"We cannot understand you," interrogated the couple, "We have a find command of our art, how could we not earn our living with our work? Don't make a fool of us, please."

"Indeed, you have your skill," explained the man, "But have you taken notice of the fact that shoes are made for people and the silk taffeta are for hat-making? The people of Yue don't wear shoes, for they are barefooted. Again, they like to have their hair spread out over their heads and they never use hats. To whom should you sell your shoes and hats then?" Experienced though you are in the arts, yet the arts you have mastered are useless there."

After this explanation, the husband and wife now understood that anything that was not adaptable to the objective world would be useless and unpractical.

鲁国有对夫妻，男的是鞋匠，鞋子做的很好；女的是织绢能手。有一天，他们商量想到越国去谋生。消息传到四邻后，有人对他们说："不要到那儿去！否则你们一定无法生存的！"那对夫妇说："我们不明白你的意思， 我们都有一套手艺，怎么 会生活不了呢？别胡说了！" 那人说："对呀，你们虽然都有一套手艺，可是你们要知道，鞋子是给人穿的，但越国人都赤脚不穿鞋子，你们织的丝绢原是做帽子用的，但越国人喜欢披着头发，不戴帽子，你们的本领虽大，手艺虽高，但你们做的鞋子、帽子去卖给谁呢？那对夫妇这才明白，凡事如果不合时宜，不适合客观环境就不中用了。

乐极生悲

Chunyu Kun (淳于髡) lived in the state of Qi (齐国) during the Warring States Period (战国，475-221 BC).He was wise, humorous and eloquent. He skillfully advised the king on 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 celebration.

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, "How much wine can you drink before youre 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, "I get drunk when I drink ten litres or 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 asked, "Since you are drunk after ten litres, how can you finish 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 differentconditions. He said, "This occurs to me that when you drink to your limit, you get so drunk that you lose your sense; once joy reaches its height, then its sorrows turn. This is the rule for everything. Whatever you do, you are bound to end up in the opposite direction when youexceed the limits."

淳于髡就告诉齐王，在不同的情况下他的酒量是不一样的。他说：“喝酒让我想到一句古话：人喝酒到了自己的极限，烂醉之后就没了理智，一旦开心过了头，就会发生悲惨的事。所有的事情都是这个道理。不论你做什么，超过了限度，往往就会适得其反。”

Realizing Chunyu Kun was advising him, the king answered, "You are right. I will take your advice."

齐威王知道淳于髡在劝诫他，回答说：“你说得对，我会接受你的建议的。”

From then on, the king of Qi gave up his bad habit of drinking and playing all night.

从那以后，齐威王改掉了整晚饮酒作乐的坏习惯。

压力就像一杯水

Once upon a time a psychology professor walked around on a stage while teaching stress management principles to an auditorium filled with students.

As she raised a glass of water, with a smile on her face, the professor asked, “How heavy is this glass of water I’m holding?”

Students shouted out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple pounds.

She replied, “From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass doesn’t matter. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me.”

As the class shook their heads in agreement, she continued, “Your stresses and worries in life are very much like this glass of water.”

It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses and worries. No matter what happens during the day, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.

没过多久，公孙龙和他的门客一起出外游玩。他们来到一条很宽的河边，发现渡船在河的另一头，所有人都不知怎么办好。突然，公孙龙想起他最近收的那个人的本领是善于叫，于是，他就转过头去对那人说："你大声叫对面的船夫，看能不能把他叫过来。"那人觉得展示他技能的时候到了，就尽力大声向对面喊：" 喂，船夫，过来，我们要过河。"当他叫声刚完，那对面的船夫就摇着船过来了。公孙龙对这个新收的门客非常满意。
