[白话]一(yi)(yi)次(ci)孔(kong)子出外(wai)游历,看见两(liang)个儿(er)童(tong)在争(zheng)论。孔(kong)子便问他们(men)(men)争(zheng)论什(shen)么故,一(yi)(yi)个小孩(hai)(hai)说(shuo)(shuo):“我(wo)(wo)(wo)认(ren)为(wei)太(tai)(tai)阳(yang)(yang)(yang)刚(gang)出来(lai)时离(li)我(wo)(wo)(wo)们(men)(men)最近(jin),中午太(tai)(tai)阳(yang)(yang)(yang)离(li)我(wo)(wo)(wo)们(men)(men)最远。”另一(yi)(yi)个小孩(hai)(hai)则说(shuo)(shuo):“我(wo)(wo)(wo)认(ren)为(wei)太(tai)(tai)阳(yang)(yang)(yang)刚(gang)出来(lai)时离(li)我(wo)(wo)(wo)们(men)(men)最远,中午太(tai)(tai)阳(yang)(yang)(yang)离(li)我(wo)(wo)(wo)们(men)(men)最近(jin)。”第(di)一(yi)(yi)个小孩(hai)(hai)说(shuo)(shuo):“太(tai)(tai)阳(yang)(yang)(yang)刚(gang)出来(lai)时有(you)车盖大(da),中午就只有(you)盘盂(yu)大(da)了,这不是离(li)我(wo)(wo)(wo)们(men)(men)远的(de)小而离(li)我(wo)(wo)(wo)们(men)(men)近(jin)的(de)大(da)的(de)道(dao)(dao)理吗?”第(di)二个小孩(hai)(hai)说(shuo)(shuo):“太(tai)(tai)阳(yang)(yang)(yang)刚(gang)出来(lai)时沧(cang)沧(cang)凉凉的(de),到了中午就像摸到汤一(yi)(yi)样的(de)热(re)了,这不是离(li)我(wo)(wo)(wo)们(men)(men)近(jin)才感觉到热(re)而离(li)我(wo)(wo)(wo)们(men)(men)远才感觉到凉的(de)道(dao)(dao)理吗?”孔(kong)子感到自己也(ye)不能决断。两(liang)个小孩(hai)(hai)笑着说(shuo)(shuo):“大(da)家不是说(shuo)(shuo)你(ni)非(fei)常(chang)有(you)智慧吗?”
