惠子謂莊子曰：Huizi said to Zhuangzi,
「吾有大樹， 'I have a large tree,
人謂之樗。 which men call the Ailantus.
其大本擁腫而不中繩墨，Its trunk swells out to a large size, but is not fit for a carpenter to apply his line to it;
其小枝卷曲而不中規矩，its smaller branches are knotted and crooked, so that the disk and square cannot be used on them.
立之塗， Though planted on the wayside,
匠者不顧。 a builder would not turn his head to look at it.
今子之言，Now your words, Sir,
大而無用，are great, but of no use
眾所同去也。」 - all unite in putting them away from them.'
莊子曰： Zhuangzi replied,
「子獨不見狸狌乎？ 'Have you never seen a wildcat or a weasel?
卑身而伏，There it lies, crouching and low,
以候敖者； till the wanderer approaches;
東西跳梁， east and west it leaps about,
不避高下； avoiding neither what is high nor what is low,
中於機辟， till it is caught in a trap,
死於罔罟。 or dies in a net.
今夫斄牛， Again there is the Yak,
其大若垂天之雲。 so large that it is like a cloud hanging in the sky.
此能為大矣， It is large indeed,
而不能執鼠。 but it cannot catch mice.
今子有大樹，You, Sir, have a large tree
患其無用，and are troubled because it is of no use
何不樹之於無何有之鄉， - why do you not plant it in a tract where there is nothing else,
廣莫之野， or in a wide and barren wild?
彷徨乎無為其側， There you might saunter idly by its side,
逍遙乎寢臥其下？ or in the enjoyment of untroubled ease sleep beneath it.
不夭斤斧， Neither bill nor axe would shorten its existence;
物無害者， there would be nothing to injure it.
無所可用，What is there in its uselessness
安所困苦哉！」 to cause you distress?'
