惠子闻之而见戴晋人。Huizi, having heard of this counsel, introduced to the king Dai Jin-ren,
戴晋人曰： who said,
“有所谓蜗者， 'There is the creature called a snail;
君知之乎？” does your majesty know it?'
曰：“然。”I do.
“有国于蜗之左角者曰触氏，'On the left horn of the snail there is a kingdom which is called Provocation,
有国于蜗之右角者曰蛮氏， and on the right horn another which is called Stupidity.
时相与争地而战， These two kingdoms are continually striving about their territories and fighting.
伏尸数万， The corpses that lie on the ground amount to several myriads.
逐北旬有五日而后反。”The army of one may be defeated and put to flight, but in fifteen days it will return.'
君曰：“噫！The king said, 'Pooh!
其虚言与？that is empty talk!
曰：The other rejoined,
“臣请为君实之。 'Your servant begs to show your majesty its real significance.
君以意在四方上下有穷乎？”When your majesty thinks of space - east, west, north, and south, above and beneath - can you set any limit to it?'
君曰：“无穷。”'It is illimitable,' said the king;
曰： and his visitor went on,
“知游心于无穷， 'Your majesty knows how to let your mind thus travel through the illimitable,
而反在通达之国，若存若亡乎？” and yet (as compared with this) does it not seem insignificant whether the kingdoms that communicate one with another exist or not?'
君曰： The king replies,
“然。” 'It does so;'
曰：and Dai Jin-ren said, finally,
“通达之中有魏，'Among those kingdoms, stretching one after another, there is this Wei;
于魏中有梁， in Wei there is this (city of) Liang;
于梁中有王。 and in Liang there is your majesty.
王与蛮氏，有辩乎？”Can you make any distinction between yourself, and (the king of that kingdom of) Stupidity?'
君曰： To this the king answered,
“无辩。” 'There is no distinction,'
客出而君惝然若有亡也。and his visitor went out, while the king remained disconcerted and seemed to have lost himself.
