齐人淳于髡以从说魏王，魏王辩之。A man from Qi named Chunyu Kun used the strategy of following persuasion to advise King Wei, but King Wei debated with him.
约车十乘，将使荆，辞而行。He prepared ten chariots and was about to be sent to Jing, bidding farewell as he departed.
人以为从未足也，复以衡说，其辞若然。People thought that following persuasion alone was insufficient, so they added the method of balancing arguments; their words were like this.
魏王乃止其行而疏其身。King Wei then stopped his journey and distanced himself from him.
失从心志，而又不能成衡之事。He lost the mindset of following persuasion, yet could not accomplish the task of balancing arguments.
是其所以固也。This is why he remained in a difficult situation.
夫言有宗，事有本，失其宗本，技能虽多，不若其寡也。Speech has its root, and affairs have their foundation; to lose the root and foundation, even with many skills and abilities, is worse than having few.
故周鼎著倕，而使啮其指，先王以见大巧之不可也。Therefore, on the Zhou tripod was inscribed the image of Chui, who had his fingers bitten off—previous kings used this to show that great skill is not desirable.
故慎子曰：“匠人知为门，能以门，所以不知门也，故必杜，然后能门”。Therefore, Shenzi said: "A carpenter knows how to make a gate and can build one, but this very knowledge prevents him from understanding the gate. Therefore, he must first close it before he can truly understand its function as a gate."
