English Original
A man from the state of Song named Er Shuo was renowned for his eloquence in his time. No one from the famous Jixia Academy in the state of Qi could defeat him in his argument that "a white horse is not a horse."
However, when he passed through a checkpoint riding his white horse, he would always pay the horse tax and never argued with the guards that a white horse is not a horse.

宋国人儿说以能言善辩著称于时。当他坚持“白马非马”这一论点时，齐国著名的稷下学派没有一个人能驳倒他。
然而，当他骑白马通过关卡时，却总是如数交纳马匹过关费，从不与守关的官吏争辩白马是不是马。
