譯文：
從前，一個楚國人在坐船過河時，不小心把他的劍掉入了水中。他馬上在船上做了個記號。“這是我的劍掉下去的地方。”他說。船停下來后，他就根據船上的記號跳入水中尋找他的劍。船在移動但他的劍并沒有。用這種方式來找劍難道不是非常愚蠢的嗎?

譯文：
春秋楚國葉諸梁，自稱"葉公"。 據說，這位葉公愛龍成癖，家里的梁、柱、門、窗上都雕著龍，墻上也畫著龍。 就這樣，葉公愛好龍的名聲，被人們傳揚開了。天上的真龍，聽說人間有這么一位葉公，對它如此喜愛，很受感動，決定去葉公家對他表示謝意。人們也許會想葉公看見真龍時會有多高興。實際上，當葉公看見那條龍時，頓時嚇得魂飛魄散，趕緊逃走。從此人們明白了葉公愛好的其實并不是真龍，而是似龍非龍的東西而已。
Going South by Driving the Chariot North(南轅北轍)
Once a man wanted to go to the south， but his carriage was heading north. A passer-by asked him： 'If you are going to the south， why is your chariot heading north? ' The man answered， 'My horse is good at running， my driver is highly skilled at driving a carriage， and I have enough money. ' The man didn't consider that the direction might be wrong; the better his conditions were， the further he was away from his destination.
