The Ultimate Archery | 不射之射

English Original

Lie Yukou was renowned for his consummate archery skills. However, Bohun Maoren considered him merely a performer—one who shot only for the bull's-eye on a target.

To broaden Lie Yukou's perspective, Bohun Maoren took him to a cliff atop a mountain. Bohun Maoren stood on tiptoe at the very edge of the precipice and then invited Lie Yukou to try the same.

At the sight, Lie Yukou was so terrified that he broke into a cold sweat and collapsed to the ground.

Bohun Maoren remarked, "A person of profound culture and virtue remains composed in any situation. Given your current state, I doubt you could hit the target!"


中文翻译

列御寇以其精湛的射箭技艺闻名于世。然而,伯昏瞀人认为他不过是个表演者——一个只为射中靶心而射箭的人。

为了开阔列御寇的眼界,伯昏瞀人带他来到山顶的悬崖边。伯昏瞀人用脚尖站在悬崖的最边缘,然后邀请列御寇也来试试。

见此情景,列御寇吓得浑身直冒冷汗,瘫倒在地。

伯昏瞀人说道:“德行深厚之人,在任何情况下都能保持镇定。就你现在的样子,我看你想射中目标怕是很难了!”
