书是印成的
一子喜游荡，不肯读书，其父怒闭一室，传送饮食，教令眼睛仔细看书，心思仔细想书如此用功，自然明白。过了三日，父到房内，看其功课，子对曰：“蒙父亲教训得极妙，读书果然大有利益，我才读得三日书，心中就明白了。”父喜问曰：“明白了何事？”子亦喜曰：“我一向只认这读的书，是用笔写成的，仔细看了三日，才晓得一张一张的书，都是印板印成的。”

译文1. Books Are Printed
A boy loved wandering and did not like to read any books. His father shut him in a room angrily and had his food and drink sent to him. The father asked him to keep his eyes and mind attentively on books and told him that if he worked hard like this he would naturally understand. Three days passed and the father went into the room to have a look at his son’s lessons. The son said, “father’s teaching is extremely wonderful and reading books is really very beneficial. I’ve only read for three days, and I’ve already understood in my heart.” The father asked happily, “What have you understood?” the son also said happily, “I always thought that the book were written with writing brushes. After reading carefully for three days, I’ve understood that every page of the books is printed with printing blocks. 译文2.
There was a young man who spent all his time loafing about, refusing to read any books. This incurred the anger of his father, who finally had him confined to a room with three meals a day sent to him. His father enjoined that he should keep his eyes on his books and apply his mind to them. If he did as he was bidden, he would surely understand a lot of things.
Three days later, the father came into the room to see how he was getting on with his studies. “Father,” said the young man, “the instruction you gave me last time simply worked wonders. Reading books has indeed done me a lot of good. I’ve read only for three days. Now I understand plenty.”
“Really?” asked the happy father. “What is it that you have understood?”
“Well,” answered his son with pride, “I’ve always thought that books were written with a writing brush. These days I’ve run my eyes over them carefully. Now I understand that every page of them was printed with printing blocks.

译文1. Becoming a Vegetarian
A cat happened to wear some beads under his neck, which was seen by a mouse, who said happily, “The cat has become a vegetarian.” He led his sons and grandsons to visit the cat and thank him. The cat shouted loudly and ate up several mice continuously. The mouse ran away hurriedly and finally escaped. He put out his tongue and said, “He is fiercer after he became a vegetarian.” 译文2. The Cat Has Turned Vegetarian
An old mouse chanced to see a cat wearing a few beads round his neck. “Ah,” said the mouse with joy, “that cat has turned vegetarian.”
Thereupon, he brought his offspring along to pay a call on the cat to express their gratitude. Not sooner had they appeared than the cat gave a deep howl and devoured several mice in rapic succession. The old mouse turned tail in the nick of time and made good his escape. Sticking out his tongue, he cried:
“My, my! That cat is even more ferocious after turning vegetarian.”
