春秋时期,在现在河南省境内有一个小国叫“宋”。宋国大夫戴不胜比较开明,很关心国事,很想让宋国国君多理朝政,就是不知道该怎样劝说宋王才好。戴不胜知道孟子很有见识,很佩服孟子,也很想向孟子请教。有一次孟子到宋国旅行,戴不胜大夫很恭敬地接待了孟子,向孟子请教说:“您是很有学问的人。请您告诉我,怎样才能劝说一个国家的国君把自己的全部精力用来管理自己的国家,多为国家办些好事呢?”
Mencius thought for a moment, smiling leisurely said: "this words to see how to say, for example, a bit Chu doctor wanted very much to make his son theory language of Qi, which do you think is please teach him the people of the state of Qi or please Chu people teach him?" We wear also smiled and replied: "it is of course please Qi people teach him ah!" Mencius smiled and said; "even if invited to a man of the state of Qi to teach him and patiently teach him say Qi words. However, the people around him feel very strange, all day to disturb him, noisy rare quiet, in such circumstances, even with a whip to beat him, forcing him to learn language of Qi, he is still not. If he shepherds to the state of Qi, and lived in Qi capital is most famous, the most prosperous streets and alleys, to live down to learn to speak in the language of Qi. Several years later, word of his Qi learned, speak very good, then again to him words of the state of Chu said, if use whip every beat him, he would say words of the state of Chu, it is very difficult. "
孟子想了一会儿,微笑着不紧不慢地说道:“这话看怎么说,比如说,有位楚国大夫很想让自己的儿子学说齐国话,您看是请齐国人教他好呢,还是请楚国人教他好呢?”戴不胜亦笑着回答说:“那当然是请齐国人教他好啊!”孟子笑了一下,接着说;“即使请来一个齐国人教他,并且很耐心地教他说齐国话,然而他周围的人觉得很希奇,整天来干扰他,吵吵闹闹难得安静,到了这种情形之下,哪怕用鞭子来抽打他,逼迫他学齐国话,他仍然是学不会的。如果把他带引到齐国去,并且住在齐国都城最有名、最繁华的街巷里,住下来学讲齐国话。几年以后,他的齐国话学会了,讲得很好了,到那时再要他说楚国话,假若也用鞭子天天抽打他,要他说楚国话,那也是很困难的了。”
After listening to the remarks of Mencius, wear greatly finally come to understand: in the state of song. King around the doctor less good, in too many bad doctor slanderers deception, it is no wonder that the prince of the state of song will become unprincipled ah!
听了孟子一席话以后,戴不胜终于明白过来:在宋国,国王周围的大夫少有好人,在太多的坏大夫的谗言欺骗下,也难怪宋国国君会变得无道啊!
The moral of this fable is: can not ignore the objective environment, the impact of the surrounding atmosphere on people.
