English Original
A logical crab said to his son, "Why do you not walk straight forward? Your sidelong gait is singularly ungraceful."
"Why don't you walk straight forward yourself?" said the son.
"Erring youth," replied the logical crab, "you are introducing new and irrelevant matter."

“犯错的年轻人,”讲逻辑的螃蟹回答道,“你这是在引入新的、不相干的话题。”
