他養了許多馬，一天馬羣中忽然有一匹走失了。

鄰居們聽到這事，都來安慰他不必太着急，年齡大了，多注意身體。

塞翁見有人勸慰，笑笑說：

There was an old man in the Warring States Period, who was called the old frontiersman. He raised a lot of horses, one of which wandered away from the group one day. Hearing about this, the neighbors of this old man, came to comfort him saying that he was of venerable age and should mind his health by not being too upset about the loss of one horse. The old frontiersman said with a genial smile: "it's not a heavy loss, losing one horse, who knows but that this may be a blessing in disguise?"
línjū tīnɡle sàiwēnɡ de huà xīnlǐ juéde hǎoxiào
鄰居聽了塞翁的話，心裏覺得好笑。
mǎdiūle mínɡmínɡ shìjiànhuàishì tāquè rènwéi yěxǔshì hǎoshì xiǎnránshì zìwǒānwèi éryǐ
馬丟了，明明是件壞事，他卻認爲也許是好事，顯然是自我安慰而已。
kěshì ɡuòle méijǐtiān diūmǎ bùjǐn zìdònɡ huíjiā hái dàihuí yìpǐ jùnmǎ
可是過了沒幾天，丟馬不僅自動回家，還帶回一匹駿馬。
Hearing about this, his neighbors felt rather amused. The loss of a horse could never be considered a good thing, so his way of thinking was clearly him trying to console himself over the loss. However, several days later, the horse that wandered off returned, accompanied with another horse of very good quality.
línjū tīnɡshuō mǎ zìjǐ huíláile fēichánɡ pèifú sàiwēnɡde yùjiàn
鄰居聽說馬自己回來了，非常佩服塞翁的預見，
xiànɡ sàiwēnɡ dàohè shuō háishì nínlǎo yǒu yuǎnjiàn
向塞翁道賀說：“還是您老有遠見，
mǎ bùjǐn méiyǒu diū hái dàihuí yìpǐ hǎomǎ zhēnshì fúqì yà
馬不僅沒有丟，還帶回一匹好馬，真是福氣呀。”
Upon hearing that the lost horse had come back, his neighbors were surprised at the old man's brilliant foresight. They congratulated him, saying that the initial loss of the horse was truly a blessing in disguise, that returned bearing unforeseen fruit.
sàiwēnɡ tīnɡle línrén de zhùhè fǎndào yìdiǎn ɡāoxìnɡ de yànɡzi dōu méiyǒu
塞翁聽了鄰人的祝賀，反到一點高興的樣子都沒有，
yōulǜdìshuō báibái déle yìpǐhǎomǎ búyídìnɡ shìshénme fúqì yěxǔ rěchū shénme máfánlái
憂慮地說：“白白得了一匹好馬，不一定是什麼福氣，也許惹出什麼麻煩來。
But the old man looked anxious, saying: "Gaining a fine horse without work may soon bring me misfortune".
línjūmén yǐwéi tā ɡùzuòzītài chúnshǔ lǎoniánrén de jiǎohuá
鄰居們以爲他故作姿態純屬老年人的狡猾。
xīnlǐ mínɡmínɡ ɡāoxìnɡ yǒuyìbù shuōchūlái sàiwēnɡ yǒuɡe dúshēnɡzǐ fēichánɡ xǐhuān qǐmǎ
心裏明明高興，有意不說出來。塞翁有個獨生子，非常喜歡騎馬。

他發現帶回來的那匹馬顧盼生姿，身長蹄大，
sīmínɡliáoliànɡ biāohàn shénjùn yíkàn jiùzhīdào shìpǐ hǎomǎ
嘶鳴嘹亮，膘悍神駿，一看就知道是匹好馬。
tā měitiān dōu qímǎ chūyóu xīnzhōnɡ yánɡyánɡdéyì
他每天都騎馬出遊，心中洋洋得意。
The neighbors thought that he was just being self-deceiving. He surely felt happy about gaining another horse, and was just saying nothing about it to seem modest. Now, this old man had a single son, who loved riding very much. His son took to riding this newly-arrived horse very happily, as the horse was clearly an excellent one, with a long body, big hoofs, with a neigh like a bell.
yìtiān tā ɡāoxìnɡdé yǒuxiē ɡuòhuǒ dǎmǎ fēibēn yíɡe lièqiè cónɡ mǎbèishànɡ diēxiàlái
一天，他高興得有些過火，打馬飛奔，一個趔趄，從馬背上跌下來，
shuāiduànle tuǐ línjū tīnɡshuō fēnfēn lái wèiwèn
摔斷了腿。鄰居聽說，紛紛來慰問。
Sadly, one day, he fell from the horse's back, and broke his leg. The neighbors once again came to the old man's house to console him.
sàiwēnɡshuō méishénme tuǐshuāiduànle què bǎozhù xìnɡmínɡ huòxǔshì fúqì ne
塞翁說：“沒什麼，腿摔斷了卻保住性命，或許是福氣呢。
línjūmén juédetā yòuzài húyánluànyǔ tāmen xiǎnɡbùchū shuāiduàntuǐ huìdàilái shénmefúqì
”鄰居們覺得他又在胡言亂語。他們想不出，摔斷腿會帶來什麼福氣。
The old man once again just said: "Perhaps it is a blessing in disguise." The neighbors thought again that this was just the ravings of an old man, clearly there was no way for a broken leg to be a blessing.
bùjiǔ xiōnɡnúbīnɡ dàjǔrùqīn qīnɡniánrén bèi yìnɡzhēnɡ rùwǔ

塞翁的`兒子因爲摔斷了腿，不能去當兵。
rùwǔ de qīnɡnián dōu zhànsǐle wéiyǒu sàiwēnɡ de érzi bǎoquán le xìnɡmìnɡ
入伍的青年都戰死了，唯有塞翁的兒子保全了性命。
It was not long before the northern tribes started a big invasion of the border regions. A lot of young men were recruited into the army, but the old frontiersman's son didn't join in the fighting because he was crippled. Many of the young men in the army died, only the old man's son survived.
