Many years ago,there were many states in China. The State of Qi used to be very strong,but it became less powerful. Yan Zi was a
wise
adviser,so the king of Qi sent him to ask Chu to support each other.
The king of Chu knew Yan Zi was very short. He tried to make Yan Zi feel shy about his
height
. When Yan Zi arrived,the guard told him
to enter
through the small gate. Yan Zi didn’t get angry. “Only a state of dogs will greet
visitors
with a gate for dogs. I’m visiting the State of Chu. This gate isn’t for me,” Yan Zi said. So the guard had to take him through the main gate.
The king of Chu was unhappy at
what
Yan Zi did. “Why did Qi send YOU? Don’t they have anyone better?” the king tried
another
way.
“If Qi meets a great king,it’ll send the best ambassador(使臣). I’m the worst. That’s why I’m here,” Yan Zi replied calmly(镇定地). At this time,the guards brought a thief(小偷)to the king. The thief was from Qi. “Ha! Yan Zi,is Qi a state of thieves?” asked the king
impolitely
.
Yan Zi replied,“The orange trees south of Huai River produce big and delicious fruit,
while
the orange trees north of Huai River produce small and sour fruit. The
environment
makes the fruit grow differently. In Qi,people are good and honest,but here,they
steal
. What made that person a thief here?” Finally,the king looked at Yan Zi and
laughed
,“I was wrong about you and your state!”

解析:
翻译:
很多年前,中国有很多诸侯国。齐国曾经非常强大,但后来实力变弱了。晏子是一位聪慧的谋士,所以齐王派他去请求楚国相互扶持。
楚王知道晏子个子很矮。他试图让晏子为自己的身高感到羞愧。当晏子到达时,卫兵告诉他从那扇小门进去。晏子没有生气。“只有狗国才会用狗门来迎接宾客。我是来访问楚国的。这扇门不是为我准备的,”晏子说道。于是卫兵只好带他从大门进去。
楚王对晏子的所作所为很不高兴。“齐国为什么派你来?他们没有更好的人了吗?”楚王换了一种方式问道。
“如果齐国遇到一位伟大的君主,就会派出最好的使臣。我是最差的。这就是我来这里的原因,”晏子镇定地回答道。这时,卫兵们把一个小偷带到了楚王面前。这个小偷来自齐国。“哈!晏子,齐国是一个小偷之国吗?”楚王无礼地问道。
晏子回答道:“淮河以南的橘子树结出的果实又大又甜,而淮河以北的橘子树结出的果实又小又酸。环境使得果实生长得不一样。在齐国,人们善良诚实,但在这里,他们偷窃。是什么让那个人在这里成了小偷呢?”最后,楚王看着晏子笑了,“我对你和你的国家的看法错了!”
