One day Yang Bu went out wearing white clothes. It happened to rain, so he took off his white clothes and changed into black clothes and went home. He dog did not know that he had changed clothes, so it came at him barking.
Yang Bu got angry and was about to beat the dog. At this time Yang Zhu said to him. "Don't beat it. You may also make this kind of mistake too. If your dog went out in white, and came back in black, wouldn't you be surprised?"
楊朱有個(gè)弟弟叫楊布,穿著白色的衣服出門。
恰好遇上天下雨,他就脫掉白衣穿上黑衣服回家。他的狗不知道是他換了衣服,汪汪叫著撲過(guò)來(lái)。
楊布怒氣沖沖地就要打這條狗,楊朱對(duì)他說(shuō):“你別打它啦,你也可能犯它這種錯(cuò)誤。要是你的狗出去時(shí)是白色,回來(lái)時(shí)卻變成了黑色,你會(huì)不覺(jué)得奇怪嗎?”
