One day Yang Bu went out wearing white clothes. It happened to rain, so he
took3 off4 his white clothes and changed into black clothes and went home. He dog
did5 not know that he had changed clothes, so it
came6 at him
barking7.
Yang Bu
got8 angry and
was9 about to
beat10 the dog. At this time Yang Zhu
said11 to him. "Don't beat it. You may also make this kind of
mistake12 too. If your dog went out in white, and came back in black, wouldn't you be
surprised13?"
杨朱有个弟弟叫杨布,穿着白色的衣服出门。
恰好遇上天下雨,他就脱掉白衣穿上黑衣服回家。他的狗不知道是他换了衣服,汪汪叫着扑过来。
杨布怒气冲冲地就要打这条狗,杨朱对他说:“你别打它啦,你也可能犯它这种错误。要是你的狗出去时是白色,回来时却变成了黑色,你会不觉得奇怪吗?”
