uizesaid to Zhuangzi: “the prince of Wei gave me a seed of a large kind of gourd. I planted it, and it bore fruit as big as a five bushel measure. Now had I used this for holding liquids, it would have been too heavy to lift; and had I cut it in half for ladles, the ladles would have been too flat for such purpose. Certainly it was a huge thing, but I had no use for it and so broke it up.”
“It was rather you did not know how to use large things! Now as to your five-bushel gourd, why did you not make a float of it, and float about over river and lake? And you complain of its being too flat for holding things! I fear your mind is stuffy inside.”

uizesaid 对庄子 》:"魏王子给了我一大种的葫芦种子。我种植它，和它的果子一样大五斗。现在我已经使用了此为盛液体，它将已经太重了，升降机;和我已经把它切成两半盛钢桶用，钢包本来就太平为这种目的。当然它是一个巨大的东西，但我没有用它，所以分手。"这是宁愿你不知道如何使用大的东西!现在，你五蒲式耳葫芦，为什么你不使浮动的它，并漂浮在河流和湖泊?你抱怨它太平握住的东西!我担心你的头脑是闷里面。

uizesaid庄子：“魏王子给了我一个大种葫芦种子。我种下它，和它的果子为一五斗来大。现在我用这个盛放液体的容器，它会一直太重搬不动；如果我把它切成两半钢包，钢包就太平等目的。当然这是一个巨大的东西，但我没有用它，所以打破了。”“那是你不知道怎么用大的东西！现在你的五蒲式耳的葫芦，你为什么不做一个浮动，漂浮在河流和湖泊？和你抱怨的是太过平坦的东西拿东西！我怕你的心里面闷闷的。”
