两小儿辩日
原文:
有两个小孩, one day they were arguing about the date.
The first child said, \”The date is February 20th.\”
The second child replied, \”But that\’s not the correct date. The correct date is February 18th.\”
The first child argued, \”But February 18th is the day of the full moon, which is not the same as February 20th, the day of the first full moon after the winter solstice.\”
The second child replied, \”I understand your point, but the correct date is still February 18th. It\’s important to know the correct date to avoid mistakes and errors in calculations.\”
The first child was not satisfied with the second child\’s argument and continued to argue, \”But February 18th is the day when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, which is not the same as the day of the first full moon after the winter solstice.\”
The second child replied, \”I understand your point, but the correct date is still February 18th. It\’s important to know the correct date to avoid mistakes and errors in calculations, and also to understand the changing of the seasons and the cycles of the universe.\”
Both children were still arguing and didn\’t agree on the correct date.

有两个小孩,有一天他们争论关于日期。
第一个小孩说,“日期是二月份。”
第二个小孩回答说,“但是那是不正确的日期。正确的日期是二月份。”
第一个小孩争论,“但是二月份18号不是正确的日期。正确的日期是二月份。”
第二个小孩说,“我明白你的观点,但是正确的日期仍然是二月份18号。知道正确的日期可以避免错误和计算错误。”
第一个小孩并不满意第二个小孩的争论,继续争论,“但是二月份18号是太阳在天空最高的时候,这不是和二月份19号相同的。”
第二个小孩回答说,“我明白你的观点,但是正确的日期仍然是二月份18号。知道正确的日期可以避免错误和计算错误,并且可以了解季节的变化和宇宙的周期。”
两个小孩仍然争论,但他们没有达成一致意见。
