太子乃使人以千金奉庄子。Thereupon the prince sent men with a thousand ounces of silver to offer to Zhuangzi,
庄子弗受，who, however, would not accept them,
与使者俱往见太子曰：but went with the messengers. When he saw the prince, he said,
“太子何以教周，'0 prince, what have you to say to Zhou,
赐周千金？” and why would you give me the silver?'
太子曰： The prince replied,
“闻夫子明圣，'I have heard that you, master, are sagacious and sage.
谨奉千金以币从者。I sent you respectfully the thousand ounces of silver, as a prelude to the silks and other gifts.
夫子弗受， But as you decline to receive them,
悝尚何敢言！” how dare I now tell you (what I wished from you)?'
庄子曰： Zhuangzi rejoined,
“闻太子所欲用周者，'I have heard, 0 prince, that what you wanted me for
欲绝王之喜好也。 was to wean the king from what is his delight.
使臣上说大王而逆王意， Suppose that in trying to persuade his Majesty I should offend him,
下不当太子， and not fulfil your expectation,
则身刑而死， I shall be punished with death;
周尚安所事金乎！ and could I then enjoy this silver?
使臣上说大王， Or suppose that I shall succeed in persuading his Majesty,
下当太子， and accomplish what you desire,
赵国何求而不得也？” what is there in the kingdom of Zhao that I might ask for which I would not get?'
太子曰： The crown-prince said,
“然。 'Yes;
吾王所见，唯剑士也。”but my (father), the king, will see none but swordsmen.'
庄子曰： Zhuangzi replied,
“诺。 'I know;
周善为剑。” but I am expert in the use of the sword.'
太子曰：“然吾王所见剑士，'That is well,' observed the prince; 'but the swordsmen whom his Majesty sees
皆蓬头、突鬓、垂冠，all have their hair in a tangle, with whiskers projecting out. They wear slouching caps
曼胡之缨， with coarse and unornamented tassels,
短后之衣， and their coats are cut short behind.
嗔目而语难，They have staring eyes, and talk about the hazards of their game.
王乃说之。 The king is delighted with all this;
今夫子必儒服而见王， but now you are sure to present yourself to him in your scholar's dress,
事必大逆。” and this will stand greatly in the way of your success.'
庄子曰： Zhuangzi said,
“请治剑服。”'I will then, with your leave, get me a swordsman's dress.'
治剑服三日， This was ready in three days,
乃见太子。 and when he appeared in it before the prince,
太子乃与见王， the latter went with him to introduce him to the king,
王脱白刃待之。 who then drew his sword from its scabbard and waited for him.
