Someone mocked at Hui Zi before the King of Liang. "This Hui Zi likes to use metaphors when he speaks.

有人在梁王面前嘲笑惠子:“這個(gè)惠子說話愛用比喻。

If he is not allowed to use metaphors, he surely won't be able to explain anything at all."

假如不準(zhǔn)他用比喻，那他一定什么也說不清楚了?！?/p>

The following day the King of Liang met Hui Zi and said to him:

第二天，梁王見到惠子，就對(duì)他說:

"From now on, when you speak, come straight to the point and do not use metaphors and beat about the bush."

“你以后講話直截了當(dāng)講，不要再用比喻，拐彎抹角的?！?/p>

Hui Zi said: "Now someone does not know what a slingshot is.

惠子說:“現(xiàn)在有個(gè)人不知道‘彈’是一種什么東西。

You tell him, A slingshot' is `a slingshot'.’Can he understand?"

你告訴他:‘彈’就是‘彈’，他聽得明白嗎?”

"How can he understand?" said the King of Liang.

梁王說:“那怎么能明白呢?”

Hui Zi went on: "If I tell him a slingshot is like a bow, its bowstring is made of bamboo, and it is a device for shooting, can he understand?"

惠子說: “如果我告訴他，彈的形狀像弓，弦是用竹子做的，是一種射具，他能明白嗎?”

The King of Liang said: "Yes, he can."

梁王說: “可以明白了?！?/p>

Hui Zi said: "The purpose of drawing an analogy between the thing people have already known and the thing they don't know yet is to make them understood.

惠子說: “用別人已經(jīng)了解的事物來比喻他還不了解的事物，目的是要使他了解。

You want me to speak without using metaphors. How can that be done?"

你讓我說話不用比喻，那怎么行呢?”

The King of Liang said: "What you said is right."

梁王說: “你說得對(duì)呀!”
