墨子鲁阳文君:“
1
Mozi said to Prince Wen of Lu Yang: Here is a man who has such an abundance of sheep, oxen, and (other) grass-fed and grain-fed animals that he cannot eat all that the cooks prepare for him.
:‘。’(Yet,) when he sees a man baking cakes, he looks surprised and steals them, saying: "Let me eat them."
Now, is this due to an unsatisfied appetite
?” or is he affected with kleptomania?
鲁阳文君:“。”Prince Wen of Lu Yang replied that he must be suffering from kleptomania.
墨子 Mozi said:
The fields of Chu
all lie in waste and cannot be exhaustively cultivated.
2The unoccupied land amounts to thousands (of mu)
and is more than sufficient for cultivation.
Yet when it saw the towns of Song and Zheng,
it looked surprised and stole them.
?” Is there any difference between this and the other (case)?
鲁阳文君 Prince Wen of Lu Yang replied:
"This is the same as that.
。” It must be suffering from kleptomania (too)."
