King Hui of Liang watched the cook dissecting an ox. Up went his hand, down went the knife, cutting it just right with dexterous movements.

梁惠王看厄丁解牛，手起刀落，動作利索，恰到好處。

The King praised: “Your skill is excellent!”

連聲夸獎?wù)f：“你的技術(shù)真是太好了!”

The cook answered: "1 can do it so dexterously because I am familiar with the physiological structure of the ox.

厄丁答道: “我所以能干得這樣利索，是因為熟悉牛的生理結(jié)構(gòu)。

I see perfectly well each and every part of the ox which is no longer a whole ox to me.

現(xiàn)在，我看到的牛已經(jīng)不是一頭全牛了。

I have a clear mental picture of where its joints and main and collateral channels are, and know exactly where to start cutting and how much force is needed."

哪里是關(guān)節(jié)?哪里有經(jīng)絡(luò)?從哪里下刀?需要用多大的力氣?我胸中有數(shù)，眼前清清楚楚?！?/p>

The cook continued:

厄丁接著說:

"The knives of others become blunt after being used for a short time,

“別人的牛刀，用不了多久就會鈍掉，

whereas I have used my knife for 19 years and slaughtered nearly 1,000 oxen, and it is still as sharp as anew one.

而我這把刀已經(jīng)用了十九年，宰了上千頭牛，但是還同新刀一樣鋒利。

However, when I come across a complicated structure, I would be cautious and conscientious and dare not be the least negligent.

不過，如果碰到錯綜復(fù)雜的結(jié)構(gòu)，我還是兢兢業(yè)業(yè)，絲毫不敢怠慢。

I cut swiftly but lightly with great concentration and care.

動作很快，下刀卻很輕，聚精會神，小L}翼翼?！?/p>

After hearing this, King Hui of Liang said:

梁惠王聽后說:

"What you said is wonderful!From you I have learned the way of cultivating my mind and developing my character."

“你說得好極了!我從你這里悟到了修身養(yǎng)性的道理。”
