孔融让梨

原文：

融四岁，能让梨，

弟于长，宜先知。

故事：

生活在东汉末年的孔融，是现在的山东省曲阜市人。他出生在中国最有名的书香世家，是孔子的第二十世孙。孔融以文章和学问著称，而中国人至今仍然津津乐道的，是他小时候的事情。

孔融兄弟一共七人，他排行第六，上面有五个哥哥，下面还有一个弟弟。七兄弟彼此之间非常友爱。孔融四岁时，有一次家里得到一些梨子，妈妈让孩子们一起来吃。孩子们看见香甜多汁的梨子都很高兴，因为梨子有的大，有的小，妈妈就让最小的孔融和弟弟先挑选。孔融看了看，挑出一个最小的，把大一些的梨子让给了弟弟和哥哥们。

正好爸爸经过他们身边，看见这情形，就问他：“妈妈让你先挑选，你为什么挑了个最小的呢？”孔融回答：“我年龄小，不应该吃大的。”爸爸指着最小的儿子又问：“弟弟不是比你小吗，为什么你又把大梨留给他呢？”孔融答道：“他是弟弟，我是哥哥，应该照顾他呀！”

爸爸听了孔融的回答，觉得他聪明而又懂事，心里很高兴，但还是故意问：“这么好吃的梨子，大家都想多吃几口，难道你就不想吗？”孔融说：“我们是兄弟，感情好得不分彼此，哥哥和弟弟获得了快乐，就等于我也获得了快乐。”听了孔融的话，哥哥、弟弟也纷纷谦让，还把最好吃的梨子拿给爸爸妈妈尝。看到这种情形，孔融的父母十分欣慰。

孔融十岁的时候，跟随父亲到首都洛阳，拜会名望很高的李膺（y~ng）。孔融先跑到李家门前，守门人因为他是个孩子，不肯为他通报。孔融说：“我跟李先生家有很亲近的关系。”守门人只得让他进去。李膺不认识他，就问：“请问你的祖父或者父亲跟我有交情吗？”孔融回答：“我的祖上是孔子，先生您的祖上是老子（本名李耳），孔子曾经拜老子为师，他们两位是这样的关系，那我家与您家不就世世代代都有交情吗？”在座的人听了都哈哈大笑，李膺也被孔融的解释逗乐了，将他当作客人对待。孔融的父亲来了，李膺夸奖说，这个孩子将来一定会成为了不起的人物。

孔融成年后果然成为一代名士，在文学和儒学方面都很有成就。

Kong Rong Offers the Best Pears to Others

Kong Rong lived during the latter part of the Eastern Han, in Qufu City in what is now the province of Shandong. He was born into the most illustrious of all scholarly families in China, namely the Kong family. He was the twenty-second generation of Kong descendants, after Confucius. Kong Rong became famous for his literary achievements and scholarship, but the thing most people remember him for today relates to tales of his childhood.

He was sixth among seven brothers, with five older and one younger, all of whom got along extremely well. One time, the family was given some pears and the mother of the children wanted them all to share them. The children gazed at the pears, mouths watering, and noticed that some were larger and some were smaller. Kong Rong was four years old at the time. His mother asked the two youngest boys to choose first. Kong Rong chose the smallest of the pears and allowed both his older brothers and his younger brother to take the bigger ones.

Just then, his father happened to pass by and noticed this. He asked, “You were allowed to go first, so why did you choose the smallest?” Kong Rong answered, “I’m younger, so I shouldn’t have a larger pear.” His father pointed out that his little brother was even younger, so Kong Rong then said, “He is Little Brother, I am Older Brother to him, so naturally I need to look after him!”

The father was quite pleased with this but he continued to question his son. “Such delicious pears, and everyone wants a few more bites, don’t you feel the same way?” Kong Rong responded, “We are all brothers, and don’t distinguish between what’s yours and what’s mine. When my brothers are happy, that means I’m happy too.” Hearing all of this, the brothers all allowed others better pears as well and offered up the best pears to their mother and father.

When Kong Rong was ten years old, he accompanied his father to the capital city of Luoyang to pay a formal call on the famous personage Li Ying. Kong Rong got to the door first, and the guard there would not announce him, since he was just a child. Kong Rong declared, “I have a very close relationship with Mr. Li’s family,” so the guard had no choice but to let him in. Li Ying did not recognize Kong Rong, however, and instead asked, “Please let me know, did your father or grandfather have some connection to me?” Kong Rong replied, “My ancestor was Confucius, and Sir, your ancestor was Laozi (whose original name was Li Er). Confucius regarded Lao-zi as his teacher. That was the relationship, so our families have had a connection through many generations.” Those sitting nearby laughed at this, and Li Ying himself was also pleased with the explanation. He treated little Kong Rong as an honored guest. When Kong Rong’s father arrived, Li Ying boasted that the child would certainly be a great man in the future.

Indeed, when he grew up, Kong Rong became “one in a generation” in the fields of literature and the Ru-school of philosophy.
