English Original
A man from the State of Qi had an extraordinary love for gold. Visions of piles of splendid gold often appeared before his eyes.
One morning, the man, neatly dressed, hurried to the marketplace. He went straight to a gold vendor's booth, seized the gold, and turned to leave. He was caught on the spot by the patrol.
The patrol could not understand his brazen act of robbery. The man replied, "When I took the gold, I saw nothing but the gold."

齐国有一人，对金子有着异乎寻常的喜爱。他的眼前常常浮现出一堆堆光灿灿的金子。
一天早上，此人穿戴整齐，匆忙赶往集市。他径直走到一个卖金子的摊位前，抓起金子转身就走，结果被巡逻的差役当场抓获。
差役们无法理解他如此明目张胆的抢劫行为。此人回答说：“我拿金子的时候，眼里看不见人，只看见了金子。”
