| 28 | 王孝廉村... : | 王举人笑道：“说起来，竟是一场笑话：弟今年正月初一日梦见看会试榜，弟中在上面是不消说了，那第三名也是汶上人，叫做荀玫。弟正疑惑我县里没有这一个姓荀的孝廉，谁知竟同著这个小学生的名字。难道和他同榜不成！”说罢，就哈哈大笑起来，道：“可见梦作不得准！况且功名大事，总以文章为主，那里有甚么鬼神！” |
| Provincial Graduate Wang meets...: | “This is certainly a joke,” said Wang Hui with a short laugh. “On the first day of this year I dreamed that I was looking at the list of metropolitan examination results. My name was on it — that goes without saying. But the third name was that of another man from Wenshang County called Xun Mei, and I wondered at this, since there was no provincial scholar from my county called Xun. Fancy it's turning out to be this little student's name! As if I could be on the same list as he!” He burst out laughing, then went on, “It's obvious that dreams are unreliable. Fame and achievement depend upon study, not upon any supernatural forces.” |
