關於(孟軻)。歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。

 

他的父親在他年紀很小的時候過就世了。

他母親一個人扶養他。他也漸漸長大。

 

他們的家裡靠近墓園，(孟軻)常常看到很多人在墓園中舉辦喪禮。

 

他與其他住在附近的小朋友們，便常常模擬這些遺族在舉辦喪禮。

 

他的母親看見之後就對自已說。這個地方不適合我的小孩的成長。

於是他們就搬家。

 

他們搬家之後，新的住家靠近市場。

 

孟軻每天看見市集中很多商人在銷售物品。

 

他與其他住在附近的小朋友們，便常常模仿這些商人推銷商品。

 

他的母親看見之後就對自已說。這個地方不適合我的小孩的成長。

所以他們就又搬家。

他與其他住在附近的小朋友們，便常常學習老師優雅的儀態。

 

他的母親看見之後就對自已說。

我認為這個地方適合我的小孩的成長。

所以他們就定居在這個地方。
