They all sang qúyù long, but only a few times. Cicadas are singing in court and birds are laughing. Cicada said: "I am good at talking, and I am very kind;" However, what my son said has never been said. If I say what I mean! "Birds bow their heads and feel ashamed, and never talk back.

"I didn't say anything" in the text, if translated literally, can only be translated as "I didn't say anything"-this is obviously inconsistent with the original intention of cicada in the text. Obviously, "I never said anything" omitted some elements, because: "I never said what I said." So "I didn't say anything" should be translated as: "There was never a word I wanted to say" or "There was never a word that expressed my mind".

The whole paragraph can be translated into:

There is a kind of bird called booby, which was born in the south. Southerners catch it and teach it to speak. After a long time, (it) can imitate human speech, (however) it can only imitate a few words and then stop. Those are the only words I imitate all day. There is a cicada in the yard (in the tree) and bonito is laughing. Cicada said to silver carp, "it's good that you can imitate people's speech;" However, what (you) said was never a word to express your heart. Where is it like your own voice? "Robin Hood bowed his head in shame and never imitated people until he died.

Wang Wei will be sent to Handan, the capital of Zhao, as a hostage. Wang Wei (Wei Huiwang or Liang Huiwang) sent Pang Cong to accompany him.

Before leaving, Pang Cong said to Wang Wei, "If someone comes to report now:' No, there are tigers in the city, biting people everywhere!'" "Does your Majesty believe it?" Wang Wei said, "I don't believe it. Pang Cong said, "If a second person reports that there are tigers in the market right away, can you believe it?" Wang Wei said, "Then I have some doubts." Pang Cong said: "If a third person comes in later, it will still be like this: there are tigers in the city." At this time, do you believe it? "Wang Wei said," of course I will believe that. "

Pang Cong went on to say: "There are obviously no tigers in the market. Everyone knows that there can be no tigers in the market. However,' three people make a tiger'. Now I'm going to Zhao, and Handan (the capital of Zhao) is farther from Daliang (the capital of Wei) than here. There must be more than three people talking about me after I went. At that time, I hope the king can see it clearly! "

Wang Wei said helplessly, "I know what you mean. You can rest assured to go with the prince! " Shortly after Pang Cong went to Zhao, someone really spoke ill of him in front of Wang Wei. Wang Wei didn't believe it at first, but later many people spoke ill of him, and Wang Wei actually believed it. After Pang Cong came back from Handan, he really lost Wang Wei's trust and was never summoned by Wang Wei again.
