Two people from the state of Zheng were arguing with each other about who was older. One of them said, "I am as old as Emperor Yao." The other one said, "I am the same age with Emperor Huang's elder brother." None of them would give in and what they said became more and more absurd(荒誕的). In the end, one of them was too tired to carry on and stopped first. Seeing his opponent stopped arguing, the other one thought that he won, and became high spirited and vigorous at once。

 兩個(gè)鄭國人爭在為誰年齡大而爭吵不休。 一個(gè)說：“我和堯同歲。”另一個(gè)則說：“我和黃帝的哥哥同歲。”兩人互不相讓，話也說得越來越離奇。末了，其中一個(gè)沒有力氣再吵下去，便先停了下來。 剩下的那一位見對(duì)手不再吱聲，認(rèn)為自己贏了，頓時(shí)神采飛揚(yáng)，意氣風(fēng)發(fā)。
