Since his horse refused to go forward, a traveler in the state of Song drove it into a stream, then mounted to set off again. Still the horse refused to go, and he punished it once more in the same way.

This happened three times in all. Even the most skilful1 rider could devise no better means of frightening a horse; but if you are not a rider, simply a bully2, your horse will refuse to carry you.

宋國(guó)有一游歷者的坐騎不肯前進(jìn)，他就將它趕進(jìn)河里，再翻身上馬繼續(xù)上路，可馬仍然不肯聽命，他又用同樣的方法對(duì)馬實(shí)施懲罰。

馬一共被罰了三次，可還是不肯就范。這說明：即使的騎手也會(huì)用恐嚇的辦法使馬前行，但倘若你不是騎手，而是暴徒，你的馬就會(huì)拒絕為你效勞。
