Long long ago there lived a man named Yegong who had a strong taste in dragons,so he dressed himself with dragon pattens on the clothes,also he had his desks,chairs,pillars and walls painted with them.The real dradon in heaven heard about this and wanted to look into the truth. He descended from heaven and came to Yegong 'house,his head poking into the front door and the tail packing into the back door.Seeing these,Yegong escaped as fast as he could,shouting,help,help,help!From this fable ,we can know that Yegong only liked artificial dragons instead of real one.
【原 文】
子张见鲁哀公,七日而哀公不礼。托仆夫而去,曰:“臣闻君好士,故不远千里之外,犯霜露,冒尘垢,百舍重研,不敢休息以见君。七日而君不礼,君之好士也,有似叶公子高之好龙也。叶公子高好龙,钩以写经,凿以写龙,屋室雕文以写龙。于是天龙闻而下之,窥头于牖,施尾于堂。叶公见之,弃而还走,失其魂魄,五色无主。是叶公非好龙也,好夫似龙而非龙者也。今臣闻君好士,故不远千里之外以见君,七日而君不礼,君非好士也,好夫似士而非士者也。诗曰:‘中心藏之,何日忘之!’敢托而去。”
【注 解】
春秋的时候,楚国叶县有一个名叫沈储梁的县令,大家都叫他叶公。叶公非常喜欢有关龙的东西,不管是装饰品、梁柱、门窗、碗盘、衣服,上面都有龙的图案,连他家里的墙壁上也画着一条好大好大的龙,大家走进叶公的家还以为走进了龙宫,到处都可以看到龙的图案!“我最喜欢的就是龙!”叶公得意地对大家说。有一天,叶公喜欢龙的事被天上真的龙知道了,真龙说:“难得有人这么喜欢龙,我得去他家里拜访拜访呀!”真龙就从天上飞来叶公的家,把头伸进窗户中大喊说:“叶公在家吗?”叶公一看到真正的龙,吓得大叫:“哇!怪物呀!”真龙觉得很奇怪,说:“你怎么说我是怪物呢?我是你最喜欢的龙呀!”叶公害怕的直发抖,说:“我喜欢的是像龙的假龙,不是真的龙呀,救命呀。”叶公话没说完,就连忙往外逃走了!留下真龙一脸懊恼地说:“哼,叶公说喜欢龙这件事是假的,他根本是怕龙嘛!害我还飞来拜访他!”
后来,大家就用“叶公好龙”来形容一个人对外假装自己很爱好某样事物,其实私底下根本就不喜欢!
