这是古文原文。可以先读一遍原文,再参考下面的白话版本,用自己的话讲给孩子听,一起录下来。
原文
今者臣来,见人于大行,方北面而持其驾,告臣曰:‘我欲之楚。’臣曰:‘君之楚,将奚为北面?’曰:‘吾马良。’臣曰:‘马虽良,此非楚之路也。’曰:‘吾用多。’臣曰:‘用虽多,此非楚之路也。’曰:‘吾御者善。’‘此数者愈善,而离楚愈远耳。’今王动欲成霸王,举欲信于天下。恃王国之大,兵之精锐,而攻邯郸,以广地尊名,王之动愈数,而离王愈远耳。犹至楚而北行也。”
白话参考(由 AI 翻译,仅供参考。父母可以按照自己的理解来讲、来录)
今天我来的时候,看到有个人在大路上,脸朝北,拉着马车。他告诉我说:“我想去楚国。”我问他:“你要去楚国,怎么反而朝北走呢?”那人说:“我的马很好。”我说:“马虽好,可这不是去楚国的路啊。”那人又说:“我钱多。”我说:“你钱再多,这也不是去楚国的路。”那人又说:“我的赶车的人本事高。”我说:“这些条件越好,你离楚国反而会离得越来越远。” 现在大王您也想要称霸天下,希望得到大家的信任。可是您光依仗国家大,兵器厉害,就去攻打邯郸,想要扩大土地、获得名声。您这样越忙活,反而离当霸王的目标越来越远了。就像要去楚国却往北走一样。
