鸡犬之声相闻,民至老死,不相往来。 · The dog's barking and the cock's crowing in one state are heard in another. The people of one state,however,may never have dealings with those of another,even if they get old and die.· People may not visit each other all their lives,though the crowing of their cocks and the barking of their dogs are within hearing of each other. (Laozi [c.600-c. 470 BC]:The Book of Tao and Teh) |
