One day, Zhuang Gong, King of the State of Qi, went out in a chariot to hunt.
一天，齐庄公乘车外出打猎。
On the way, he saw a small insect raise both its arms, trying to stop the wheels of the chariot. Zhuang Gong of Qi was curious and asked the driver:
路上，他看见一只小虫举起双臂，想阻挡车轮前进。齐庄公很好奇，就问车夫:
"What kind of insect is it?"
"这是什么虫子?"
"It is a mantis," the driver replied promptly. "This kind of insect only knows how to advance but not retreat, blindly underrating its enemies and overrating its own abilities."
车夫连忙回答:"这是蝗螂。这种虫子只知前进，不知后退，盲目轻敌，不自量力。"
Hearing the driver's reply, Zhuang Gong smiled to himself and remained silent.
听了车夫的回答，庄公暗自发笑，默默无语。
