Tuesday An argument about the sun
(2024 全国改编)
Confucius is travelling to the east. He sees two children arguing. "I think," says one child, "the sun is near to us at daybreak and far away at noon." The other thinks that the sun is far away at dawn and near at noon. "When the sun appears," says the child, "it is as big as a wheel, but at noon it is only like a plate or a bowl. Isn't it true that objects far away seem smaller while those nearby seem bigger?" "When the sun appears," says the other child, "it is cool, but at noon it is as hot as putting your hand in hot water. Isn't it true that things nearer to us are hotter, and those farther away are cooler?" Confucius hears these, but he doesn't know which of them is right. The children laughed and said, "Who says you know so much?"

答案： 两小儿辩日
孔子向东游历。他看到两个孩子在争论。一个孩子说：“我认为，太阳在黎明时离我们近，中午时离我们远。”另一个孩子则认为太阳在黎明时离我们远，中午时离我们近。一个孩子说：“太阳刚出来的时候，大得像车轮，但到中午时，只有盘子或碗那么大。远处的东西看起来小，近处的东西看起来大，不是吗？”另一个孩子说：“太阳刚出来的时候，很凉爽，但到中午时，热得就像把手伸进热水里一样。离我们近的东西更热，离我们远的东西更凉，不是吗？”孔子听了，也不知道谁对谁错。孩子们笑着说：“谁说你懂得多？”
