鱼之乐

These Fish Are Happy

　　（But How Do You Know That？）

　　By Zhuangzi [Chuang Tze]

　　One day Zhuangzi and Huizi are strolling on Bridge Hao.

　　Zhuangzi ： "Look how happy the fish are just swimming around in the river."

　　Huizi ： "How do you know they are happy？ You are not a fish."

　　Zhuangzi： "And you are not me. How do you know I don't know the fish are happy？"

　　Huizi： "Of course I'm not you， and I don't know what you think；

　　But I do know that you're not a fish，

　　and so you couldn't possibly know the fish are happy."

　　Zhuangzi： "Look， when you asked me how I knew the fish were happy，

　　you already knew that I knew the fish were happy.

　　I knew it from my feelings standing on this bridge.
