Then, he told Zi Qin:

接著，又告訴子禽說:

"Toads and frogs croak and flies buzz day and night until they are parched and dry in the mouth, yet nobody listens to them.

“蛤蟆、青蛙、蒼蠅白天黑夜不停地叫，叫得口干舌燥，可是卻沒有人聽它們的。

But a rooster in a chicken coop crows only a few times at dawn, and everyone knows that when it crows, daylight,is coming and the whole world will be awakened.

但是，雞棚里的雄雞只在黎明時啼叫兩三次，大家知道雞啼就要天亮，天下皆醒。

Therefore, there is no use talking too much.

所以，多說話沒有什么用處。

What is important is to suit the words to the occasion, and say things which hit the nail on the head."

重要的是話要說得切合時機，說到點子上。”
