韓、魏相與爭侵地。Han and Wei were contending about some territory which one of them had wrested from the other.
子華子見昭僖侯， Zi-hua Zi went to see the marquis Zhao-xi (of Han),
昭僖侯有憂色。and, finding him looking sorrowful,
子華子曰： said,
「今使天下書銘於君之前，'Suppose now that all the states were to sign an agreement before you
書之言曰：to the effect that
『左手攫之則右手廢， "Whoever should with his left hand carry off (the territory in dispute) should lose his right hand,
右手攫之則左手廢， and whoever should do so with his right hand should lose his left hand,
然而攫之者必有天下。』but that, nevertheless, he who should carry it off was sure to obtain the whole kingdom;"
君能攫之乎？」 would your lordship feel yourself able to carry it off?'
昭僖侯曰： The marquis said,
「寡人不攫也。」 'I would not carry it off,'
子華子曰： and Zi-hua rejoined,
「甚善！ 'Very good.
自是觀之， Looking at the thing from this point of view,
兩臂重於天下也， your two arms are of more value to you than the whole kingdom.
身亦重於兩臂。 But your body is of more value than your two arms,
韓之輕於天下亦遠矣， and Han is of much less value than the whole kingdom.
今之所爭者，The territory for which you are now contending
其輕於韓又遠。 is further much less important than Han:
君固愁身傷生以憂戚不得也！」your lordship, since you feel so much concern for your body, should not be endangering your life by indulging your sorrow.'
僖侯曰： The marquis Zhao-xi said,
「善哉！ 'Good!
教寡人者眾矣， Many have given me their counsel about this matter;
未嘗得聞此言也。」 but I never heard what you have said.'
子華子可謂知輕重矣。Zi-hua Zi may be said to have known well what was of great importance and what was of little.
