1, translation of the first section of the beam

Mencius introduced himself to Liang. King Hui said, "Will the old gentleman come to China after a long journey?"

Mencius replied: "Why does the king have to talk about profit? You have to be benevolent. If the king just said, "What's good for my country?" The doctor also said,' How can I benefit from my fief?' Then ordinary scholars and ordinary people will say,' how can I benefit myself?' In this way, everyone is chasing each other's self-interest, and the country is in danger!

In a country with 10 thousand chariots, it must be a doctor with 1000 chariots who killed its monarch; In a country with a thousand chariots, it must be a doctor with a hundred chariots who killed its monarch. He owns 1000 cars out of 10000 cars, and he owns 100 cars out of 1000 cars. These doctors have enough industries. If he puts righteousness behind and the word "benefit" first, he will not be satisfied without depriving the monarch of everything.

No one who has never cared for benevolence will abandon his parents, and no one who has cared for righteousness will neglect your majesty. Wang just needs to talk about benevolence and righteousness. Why does he have to talk about "profit"? "

2. Liang translated the second chapter

Mencius went to see Liang. Liang stood by the pond. He looked at geese and elk and said to Mencius, "Do virtuous people also enjoy this happiness?"

Mencius replied: "Only virtuous people can appreciate this kind of happiness, and people without virtue can't enjoy it even if they have all this." The Book of Songs said:' When King Wen began to plan and build a funeral platform, he made elaborate and ingenious arrangements. All the people in the world came to work, and it was built in a few days. There is no hurry to build a platform, but people volunteer to work for their parents as their children. King Wen visited Lingyuan, and the doe crouched in the deep grass. The doe's fur is plump and moist, and Bai Niao's feathers are clean.

King Wen visited Lingnuma, and the fish in the pond jumped happily. Although Zhou Wenwang built high platforms and deep pools with the labor of ordinary people, ordinary people were very happy. They call that platform Lingtai and that pond Lingbog, and enjoy rare birds and animals in the garden, such as elk, fish and turtles. Ancient kings and people enjoyed life together, so they could feel real happiness.

Instead, say,' Sun, when will you die? I would rather die with you! People can't wait to die with him. Even if there is a high platform and a deep pool, how can he enjoy it alone? "

3. The third chapter translated by Liang.

Liang said to him, "I really tried my best to govern the country!" When there was a famine in Hanoi, the victims there were moved to Hedong, and the grain from Hedong was transported to Hanoi. I did the same thing when there was a famine in Hedong. Look at the monarchs of neighboring countries presiding over political affairs. No one tries as hard as I do. But the number of people in neighboring countries has not decreased, and my number has not increased. Why? "

Mencius replied, "Your Majesty, you like fighting. Let me use the metaphor of fighting. The drums sounded and the battlefield was fierce. The defeated soldiers threw down their helmets and fled with their weapons. Some ran hundreds of steps before stopping, while others stopped after running fifty steps. What do you think of people who run 50 steps laughing at people who run 100 steps? "

Liang said, "no way. Even if he didn't escape to a hundred paces, he escaped! "

Mencius said: "Your Majesty, since you know this truth, you don't have to expect that there are more people in your own country than in your neighboring countries. As long as it doesn't go against the farming season, the food won't be finished; Closed-hole fishing nets don't enter the pond, and aquatic products such as fish and turtles can't be eaten up; When trees are cut down regularly, wood will be inexhaustible. Food and fish are inexhaustible, and firewood is inexhaustible, so that ordinary people can support their families and bury the dead without regrets.

Ordinary people have no regrets when they die in health. This is the beginning of kingliness. Mulberry trees are planted on five acres of house land, and people aged 50 can wear silk clothes; Chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs are kept in season, and people over 70 can often eat meat. One hundred mu of land planted by one family will not be cultivated in the farming season, and there will be no famine in a family of several. Pay attention to the education of rural schools, emphasize the principle of filial piety to the elders, and let the gray-haired old people no longer appear on the road with their heads on their shoulders.

People over 70 can wear silk to eat fish, and ordinary people are not short of clothes and food. No one will ever do this without becoming the king of the world. At present, pigs and dogs eat food that people eat, and I don't know how to stop it. People who starve to death appear on the road and don't know how to help the hungry. When people die, they say,' It doesn't matter to me, it's because of poor years'. What's the difference between this and killing someone and saying,' It has nothing to do with me, it was killed by a weapon'? Your majesty, don't blame the famine year, so people all over the world will flock to you. "

Original text:

1, Mencius sees Liang. The king said, "Moo! Will it be good for our country to come all the way? "

Mencius said to him, "Why should you talk about profit? And benevolence and righteousness. The king said,' Why is it good for our country?' The doctor said,' How can I benefit my family?' Judge Shu Ren said, "Why is this good for me?" It is dangerous for the state to pay taxes from top to bottom. The country of a thousand riders, the country that kills the monarch, must be the home of a thousand riders; A country that rides a thousand times will kill its king, and a home that rides a hundred times. It's not too much to walk a thousand roads and a hundred roads. Righteousness before righteousness, profit first, and embarrassment if you don't take it. Those who leave their relatives without benevolence and righteousness, and those who leave their husbands without benevolence and righteousness. Wang also said that it was only benevolence and righteousness. Why should he say profit? "

Mencius met Liang. Wang Li is on the marsh, and Gu Hongyan is an elk. He said, "Are saints happy about this?"

Mencius said to him, "A saint is happy when he has it, and a saint is happy when he has it." "Poetry" says, "The Lingtai started at the beginning and then set up camp. Shu Ren attacked it, but it failed for several days. Don't be anxious from the beginning, the common people will come. Wang Zailing, deer squatting, deer squatting, drowning. Wang is in Lingnuma. He jumps into the fish. "King Wen takes people's power as a platform for marsh and folk music, which means that its platform is called Lingtai, and its marsh is called Lingmarsh, and it enjoys elk, fish and turtles.

The ancients enjoyed themselves with the people, so they could enjoy themselves. "Tang Shi" said: "The day is mourning, and lesbians die." People want to die with them, although there are birds and beasts in the pool, why enjoy themselves? "

3. Liang said: "I am also in the country, and I am dedicated to it. If Hanoi is fierce, it will move its people to Hedong and its millet to Hanoi. Hedong is also fierce. People who observe the politics of neighboring countries have no intention like me. There are not many people in neighboring countries, and there are not many people in my country. Why? "

Mencius said to him, "The king is belligerent. Please use the metaphor of war. Replenish drums, weapons company, abandon armor. Or stop after a hundred steps, or stop after fifty steps. What if the pot is too black? "

"No," he said. If you don't walk a hundred steps straight, you will walk. "

He said: "If Wang knows this, there is no hope that there will be more people in neighboring countries. If you don't go against the farming season, the valley can't take food; If you don't count, neither fish nor turtle can be eaten. Axe gold gets into the mountain in time, and mywood can't be used. Valley and fish turtles can't fight for food, and wood and wood can't fight for it, which makes people lose their lives and have no regrets. Keeping in good health and dying without regret is the beginning of kingly way. Five acres of houses, trees are mulberry, and fifty people can wear clothes and silks. Chickens, dolphins and dogs are all domestic animals, so there is no time to waste. Seventy people can eat meat.

A hundred acres of land, if you don't seize the opportunity, a family of several can be hungry. I sincerely hope that the godson of the cult will be filial, and the winners will not be on the road. Seventy people eat meat, clothes and silk, and the Lebanese are neither hungry nor cold, but they are not kings and have nothing. Dogs don't know when they eat food or when they are hungry. When people die, they say,' If it weren't for me, I would be old.' Why is it different from stabbing and killing people? It said,' Not me, but a soldier. The king is innocent, and the people in the world are heavy. "
