中文:魏王准备攻打邯郸,季梁听到这件事,半路上就返回来,来不及舒展衣服皱折,顾不得洗头上的尘土,就忙着去谒见魏王,说:“今天我回来的时候,在大路上遇见一个人,正在向北面赶他的车,他告诉我说:‘我想到楚国去。’我说:‘您既然要到楚国去,为什么往北走呢?’他说:‘我的马好。’我说:‘马虽然不错,但是这也不是去楚国的路啊!’他说:‘我的路费多。’我说:‘路费即使多,但这不是去楚国的方向啊。’他又说:‘我的车夫善于赶车。’我最后说:‘这几样越好,反而会使您离楚国越远!’如今大王的每一个行动都想建立霸业,每一个行动都想在天下取得威信;然而依仗魏国的强大,军队的精良,而去攻打邯郸,以使土地扩展,名分尊贵,大王这样的行动越多,那么距离大王的事业无疑是越来越远。这不是和那位想到楚国去却向北走的人一样的吗?”
